Boden et al found that even though imaging diagnosis showed degenerative changes of the spine, the study subjects did not have any painful conditions of the lumbar spine [9]. On the other hand, Żytkowski found that only 15% of
The patient’s primary dysfunction was insidious low back pain. After ruling out potential red flags, differential diagnoses considered were lumbar facet joint dysfunction, spinal stenosis, mobility deficits, and movement coordination impairments. The patient was appropriate for further evaluation. One chal...
Degenerative disk disease, which wears down the disks between the spine’s vertebrae. This shrinks the space between vertebrae, narrowing nerve passageways and possibly pinching the sciatic nerve. Injury to the lumbar spine or the sciatic nerve itself (such as a car accident). Osteoarthritis, whic...
Measurement of lamina loss area and height changes. A The MIP plane was parallel to the longitudinal axis of the target vertebral body in the sagittal position, and the distance in the transverse position was from the facet joint to the junction of the spinous process and the lamina. B, C...
Development of an Experimental Animal Model for Lower Back Pain by Percutaneous Injury-Induced Lumbar Facet Joint Osteoarthritis. We report generation and characterization of pain-related behavior in a minimally invasive facet joint degeneration (FJD) animal model in rats. FJD was pro... JS Kim,K...
Conventional open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) using unilateral pedicle screws and a translaminar facet screw has been performed for many years with good results. The outcomes of minimally invasive TLIF (MIS TLIF) are similar to the good outcomes of open TLIF, with the additional ...
