Purpose of study: Numerous stages of the degenerative cascade exist for lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD). Individual stages can be considered diagnostic subgroups, each with a particular pathology, prognosis and treatment requirement. Numerous series have been published concerning results of lumbar ...
What is the prognosis for degenerative disc disease? What is the difference between sciatica and lumbar radiculopathy? Is lumbar spinal stenosis curable? What is considered severe spinal stenosis? What stage is severe degenerative disc disease?
Studies included met the following criteria: prospective and retrospective studies of lumbar TDR in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease; at least 3 years postoperative follow-up; and the clinical prognosis index meeting at least one of the following: visual analogue scale (VAS) of back ...
PELD and OFD both provide acceptable clinical outcomes for LDH. However, PELD is superior to OFD in terms of relieving low back pain, delaying disc degeneration, and maintaining segmental stability.Introduction Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is the most common degenerative disc change, frequently result...
In considering an approach toward the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of lumbar spine disease, a distinction can be made between acute lumbar disc herniation ("soft" disease) and degenerative lumbar spondylosis ("hard" or "bony" disease). The spectrum of the clinical manifestations of lumbar...
To compare outcomes after oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) versus minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MISTLIF) with bilateral decompression via unilateral approach for treating mild to moderate symptomatic degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS). We retrospectively compared patie...
