CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old female with some dysmorphism and mild osteoporosis had a fall in the shower, resulting in a Y-shaped sacral fracture and non-displaced fractures of the superior and inferior pubic ...
Practice Good Posture Slumped over or asymmetrical (leaning over to one side) creates an imbalance in the spine and supportive muscles and joints. This often creates a problem with the shoulder. ...
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the two-year effectiveness of this restorative neurostimulator in patients with disabling CLBP secondary to multifidus muscle dysfunction and no indications for spine surgery. Materials and Methods Open-label follow-up of 204 participants implanted with a restorative neurostimulation system (ReActiv8, Mainstay Medical, Dublin, Ireland) ...
Surgical Navigation provides real-time guidance and precise measurements for accurately placing the pedicle screws to help stabilize the spine. A preoperative CT scan gives a detailed visualization of the structure decreasing the potential for implant-related complications and verifies that the rods are placed according to the dimensions of the bone structure. ...
Summary Due to their anatomical positioning, contraction of the deep abdominal muscles is often difficult to feel and therefore for patients to master. However, they are actively involved in spinal (or lumbar spine) stabilisation, and also in several biological processes [1]. They therefore constitute an important target in several physiotherapeutic treatments [1]. Questions are often raised ...
The early fixation of pedicle screws is crucial for improving spinal stabilisation. Firm and immediate fixation between pedicle screws and bone prevents aseptic loosening and implant failure. Coating with hydroxyapatite is a possible method to improve the fixation of metallic implants in bone. In this study, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has been used to investigate the ...
