The practice of spine surgery presents numerous ethical challenges. Ethical considerations must be taken into account throughout the patient’s treatment, from the surgical decision to the final follow-up. Surgical decision-making can vary for many commo
undergoing spine surgery in 4 studies, the pooled correlation between spine CT and spine DXA was (r2: 0.64). In MRI studies, the pooled r2 of spine MRI versus spine DXA and spine MRI versus hip DXA were -0.41 and -0.44, respectively. The authors concluded that CT-HU exhibited stronger ...
Furthermore, diabetic patients had an increased risk of undergoing lumbar spinal injection [1.13 (1.12–1.14)], laminectomy [1.19 (1.15–1.23)], and fusion surgery [1.35 (1.29–1.42)]. We demonstrated that type 2 diabetes was significantly associated with lumbar spine disorders and frequent ...
