Unmet Needs of Surgical Care for Children: A Case Study in the Brazilian Publicly-Financed Health System

Abstract Objective To measure and document the clinical impact of the waiting time for surgical treatment of patients with spinal deformities in a quaternary center in Brazil. Methods In total, 59 patients with spinal deformity waiting for surgery on our hospital's list were evaluated to observe the im...

Correction of the spinal sagittal plane: the application of convergent or divergent screws

Coluna/Columna; 19 (4), 2020
ABSTRACT Objective To present a new principle for correction of the sagittal plane of the spine through the convergent or divergent placement of monoaxial pedicle screws in this plane, associated with compression or distraction, to provide lordotizing or kyphotizing leverage force. Method A statistic...

Radiographic analysis of the results of anterior internody arthrodesis on the sagittal lumbopelvic parameters

Coluna/Columna; 19 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Objective The objective of this study is to analyze the radiographs of patients who underwent anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), to compare the values of the lumbopelvic measurements, and to quantify improvements in these parameters achieved through this technique. Methods The radiogra...

Body Mass Index, Age, Sexual Maturation and Incidence of Hyperlordosis in Children and Adolescents

Abstract Introduction: Hyperlordosis can cause several degenerative spinal pathologies in children and adolescents. Objective: Determine whether body mass index, age and sexual maturation predict the occurrence of hyperlordosis in children and adolescents. Method: The study analyzed 380 students aged ...

Valoración de la lordosis lumbar y diámetro foraminal utilizando el Soporte de Cirugía Espinal

Introducción Tenemos como objetivo, cuantificar los cambios de la lordosis fisiológica en las distintas posiciones, de pie y en decúbito ventral, sobre el Soporte de Cirugía Espinal (SCE) y evaluar indirectamente los cambios de diámetro de los distintos forámenes, midiendo la distancia interpedicul...

Modification of the spinopelvic parameters with surgical positioning and the role of the hip

Coluna/Columna; 18 (4), 2019
ABSTRACT Post-operative lumbar pain is related to alterations in the sagittal and spinopelvic parameters. A lumbar fusion that fails to maintain, or that worsens the physiological lordosis alters the sagittal balance. Objective: To analyze spinopelvic variation in different surgical positions. Methods:...

Influence of total hip arthroplasty on sagittal lumbar-pelvic balance: Evaluation of radiographic parameters

Abstract Objective To prospectively analyze the radiographic variables of lumbosacral sagittal balance in the pre- and postoperative period of patients submitted to total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods A prospective, observational, comparative study that evaluated pre- and postoperative radiographic p...

Frontal-Mental Line Inclination Test for assessment of cervical curvature: validation and applicability

Abstract Introduction: Alternative testing for X-rays in the assessment of the spine have the advantage of not causing radiation problems, but need to be validated. Objective: To propose a clinical test for assessment of the cervical spine based on the frontal-mental line inclination, identifying its c...

Evaluation of the discal height gain and lumbar lordosis variation obtained by the techniques of transforaminal and posterior lumbar intersomatic fusion

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the discal height and lumbar lordosis gains, comparatively, according to the two lumbar arthrodesis techniques, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), used in the treatment of spinal degenerative diseases. Methods: The pr...
