After such surgeries, PT may be considered to facilitate mobilization and...
When the patients experienced poor therapeutic effects as a result of conservative treatment including anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, and local corticosteroid injections, the operation became a suitable scheme [4]. At present, lumbar interbody fusion combined with pedicle screw fixation ...

A limitation in this review may be the exclusion of grey literature consistently with our protocol. Conclusions In this review only studies concerning rehabilitation after surgery for lumbar disc herniation could be pooled in a quantitative analysis. These meta-analyses showed with low quality evidence...
Multilevel pediculolysis often requires surgical intervention, and segment instability is an important consideration in the development of surgical fusion strategies. The etiology of pediculolysis is still complex and unknown, and the spondylolysis protocol can be used as a reference for treatment. Surg...
