This model was then modified to create two models, one simulating each of the above-men-tioned two techniques for discectomy of the severely degenerated C5-C6 disc. For each of these three models, we used the finite element analysis method to obtain three biomechanical parameters at various ...
Degenerative disc disease with disc space narrowing and anterior osteophyte formation at C5-6 (arrow). Full size image Figure 3 Severe facet arthrosis affecting C3-6 bilaterally (arrows). Full size image The presence of osteoarthrosis is often confirmed using plain film radiographic findings, with ...
Clinical nomograms, such as PSA levels and Gleason score, can be used to identify patients at high risk of metastatic disease at presentation.29,30 For preoperative management, BS is not required in asymptomatic patients or where serum PSA levels are <10 ng/mL. However, in symptomatic ...
rather than a disease [3]. The aetiology of the degenerative changes may be mechanical micro-insults or damage secondary to macro-insults, such as spinal fractures, spinal surgery not related to degenerative disc disease or significant metabolic processes, such as ochondrosis or mucoplysacchari...

Biomechanical characteristics of noncontinuous ACDF and noncontinuous CDA in the treatment of noncontinuous cervical degenerative disc disease were still unclear. The aim of this research is to compare the differences between these two kinds of treatment methods and to verify the effectiveness of Prodisc...
spinal surgery not related to degenerative disc disease or significant metabolic processes, such as ochondrosis or mucoplysaccharidoses. All elements of the spine, including the intervertebral discs, joints, ligaments and bony structures, may undergo morphological changes that can be classified as dege...
Here, we report a case of a 65-year-old male patient who presented with a progressive spastic gait and lumbar pain and was found to have a thoracic intramedullary abscess with concomitant spinal degenerative disease. He was treated with surgical intervention and subsequent intravenous antibiotics. ...
