Conclusion: National Football League linemen have high return-to-play rates after lumbar diskectomy.
2
Interventions: Standard open diskectomy vs nonoperative treatment individualized to the patient.
3
Objective: To compare the treatment effects of diskectomy and usual care.
4
Interventions: Standard open diskectomy vs usual nonoperative care.
5
Purpose: To evaluate the ability of a National Football League lineman to return to play after lumbar diskectomy.
Uso de discectomy en inglés
1
Two hundred twenty-six players underwent lumbar discectomy, and 116 athletes were treated nonoperatively.
2
Cervical discectomy and fusion at unstable segment was carried out in all 20 cases.
3
My personal record for cole-is discectomy is 22 minutes.
4
Reports on adolescent patients with cervical myelopathy who underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion are scarce.
5
Flexion-extension and load-to-failure testing were performed on two single-level discectomy and interbody fusion constructs from each specimen.
6
Results:: Data were analyzed for 23 NFL offensive skill position players who had an LDH and underwent discectomy.
7
Future research should compare additional instrumentation such as screws, plates, and cages against discectomy with or without autograft.
8
The study included 65 patients who were operated for single level discectomy, and their charts were analyzed retrospectively.
9
The surgical intervention will be an anterior discectomy or a posterior foraminotomy that is carried out according to usual care.
10
Anterior cervical discectomy and vertebral interbody fusion is a widely used technique in the treatment of radicular or cord compression.
11
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to determine cost-utility following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in obese patients.
12
Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective examination of consecutive surgical specimens obtained in patients with benign indication for discectomy at four neurosurgical centers.
13
Summary of background data: The US Food and Drug Administration clinical trials compared arthroplasty with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for single-level DDD.
14
He underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion but 6 years later developed significant kyphosis at the adjacent C3-4 level.
15
In 13 patients an anterior release and discectomy was performed prior to CD posterior instrumentation (group 3).
16
When ignoring fusion rates and looking at complication rates, a cage has a weak evidence base over iliac crest autograft, but not over discectomy alone.
