SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the value of magnetic resonance combined with dual-source spectral computed tomography in improving the clinical diagnosis and treatment efficiency of lumbar disk herniation. METHODS: Two hundred patients with lumbar disk herniation were enrolled. Mag...
Introducción: La enfermedad degenerativa discal es una entidad frecuente y uno de los principales motivos de consulta. Genera altas tasas de discapacidad, años útiles perdidos, así como altos costos económicos por asistencia médica y grandes pérdidas monetarias. Su tratamiento es generalmente con...
Abstract Populational aging increases the incidence of musculoskeletal degenerative processes, such as adult scoliosis (AS). Adult scoliosis is defined as a spinal deformity in the coronal plane with a Cobb angle > 10º. Adult scoliosis may be iatrogenic or result from a degenerative process (scoliosi...
Abstract Objective To virtually prototype a device for external circular fixation of long bone fractures with controlled dynamization made of two different materials and predict their mechanical behavior by using the finite element analysis (FEA) method. Method A software was used for 3D modeling two m...
Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease characterized by the degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVDs), accompanied by imbalance of metabolic and inflammatory homeostasis. Current studies establish that IVD degeneration is induced by increased apoptosis of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. However, the u...
RESUMEN Los estudios han determinado la importancia del balance sagital en el desarrollo de entidades degenerativas de la columna vertebral, fundamentalmente de la región lumbar; así como en los resultados de las intervenciones quirúrgicas de estas afecciones. Es propósito de este trabajo revisar y d...

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate facet joint degeneration following surgical treatment in patients with lumbar disc herniation, seeking to correlate it with possible determining factors. Methods Cross-sectional observational study, which analyzed medical records, radiographs and magnetic resonance imag...
ABSTRACT Objective To assess postoperative outcomes following lumbar microdiscectomy (LMD) with and without the use of a dynamic intralaminar device IntraSPINE ® . Methods A non-randomized single-surgeon retrospective analysis. Consecutive elective surgery was performed on patients with lumbar disc ...
Several surgical procedures aim to decompress and/or stabilize the lumbosacral (LS) joint of dogs; however, the lumbar interbody fusion technique, by using a cage combined with a bone graft, is the most indicated and used in human medicine. No specific implant is available for application to the canine l...
