Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the Neurosurgery by Example series, this volume on spinal neurosurgery presents exemplary cases in which renowned authors guide readers through the assessment and planning, decision making, surgical procedure, after care, and complication management of common and uncommon disorders. The cases explore the spectrum of clinical diversity and complexity within spinal neurosurgery, including occipital cervical dislocation, cervical myelopathy, thoracic cord compression, lumbar stenosis, and more. Each chapter also contains 'pivot points' that illuminate changes required to manage patients in alternate or atypical situations, and pearls for accurate diagnosis, successful treatment, and effective complication management. Containing a focused review of medical evidence and expected outcomes, Spinal Neurosurgery is appropriate for neurosurgeons who wish to learn more about a subspecialty, and those preparing for the American Board of Neurological Surgery oral examination. Advance Praise for Spinal Neurosurgery "I congratulate Drs. Harrop and Maulucci for this well done book that utilizes a unique and very effective format to cover the gamut of spine surgery and spine care topics. The book is well organized, lavishly illustrated with numerous figures and images, and includes oral board review pearls that are of particular value for those studying for their neurosurgery board examinations." -- Edward Benzel, MD, Emeritus Chair of Neurosurgery, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH "Through this extensive collection of various spine related clinical scenarios, the reader is able to learn very pertinent management principles and pearls. This book is particularly useful for those who are preparing for the oral boards, but also serves as excellent reading material for neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons at any stage in their career." -- Charles Sansur, MD, Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD "Drs. Harrop and Maulucci have assembled an excellent compendium of cases/pathologies. The "Case-based" approach of this text lends itself to an easy readability as well as a compartmentalization of the reading for busy practitioners. This book is extremely useful to practitioners at all stages in their career, as it covers both basic and controversial information for each topic, and may be particularly useful for those surgeons reviewing for their oral board examination." -- Michael Y. Wang, MD, FACS, Professor of Neurological Surgery and Rehab, Medicine Spine Fellowship Director, Chief of Neurosurgery, University of Miami Hospital and Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL

Book excerpt: Therefore, this document is an updated review of the evidence since March 2004 for the effectiveness and safety of artificial intervertebral disc replacement for lumbar or cervical degenerative disc disease Clinical Need Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is the term used to describe the deterioration of one or more intervertebral discs of the spine. [...] The goals of spinal fusion are to relieve any existing pressure on the spinal nerves (decompression) and to restore the alignment and stability of the spine. [...] Potential adverse events, reported in the FDA Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data (35) of the Charite artificial disc which might be expected to occur after the implantation of the disc, but were not observed in the FDA IDE clinical trial of the disc, include:. [...] Prodisc II in the The device is intended for use literature) when surgical intervention for the relief of the pain of degenerative disc disease in indicated. [...] As a condition of post market approval, the sponsor is required to monitor those people who participated in the study for 5 years after treatment to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of the artificial disc including correlating range of motion data with disability and pain measures, and assessing the rate of ASD.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this project is to develop a simplified, two-dimensional mathematical model of the lumbar spine for the purpose of studying the behavior the lumbar spine when affected by degenerative disc disease. Several hypothetical treatment options, including fusion and different types of artificial disc replacements (ADR) were examined. The cases presented consisted of three one-degree of freedom artificial discs, three two-degrees of freedom artificial discs, one ideal three-degrees of freedom artificial disc, a degenerated disc, a fused disc and a healthy spine. The equations of motion were generated for a healthy lumbar spine using Lagrange's equations and numerically integrated using Matlab®. Results were obtained for all cases at two different levels, L4-L5 and L5-S1 in response to an impulsive force of 100N applied at L3 in the posterior anterior direction. In the 1-DOF ADR cases at the L4-L5 level, the shear ADR performed better than the other two ADR, while at the L5-S1 level, the rotational ADR performed better than the other two ADR, and significantly better than the fused vertebrae case since it matched the behavior of the healthy spine much more closely. All the other 1-DOF ADR provided little or no improvement when compared to the fused case. In the 2-DOF ADR cases, the shear rotational ADR behaved very similarly to the healthy spine when implanted at both levels, L4-L5 and L5-S1, showing a behavior that varied by less than 1% in the posterior anterior direction and flexion extension rotation and less than 10% in the axial displacement when compared to the behavior of a healthy spine. Overall, the results of this thesis indicate that implanting an artificial disc to replace a damaged disc offers more benefits for the spine than fusion since this allows the spine to behave closer to the natural healthy spine, and hence most likely cause less damage to adjacent discs.
