An animal model of anterior and posterior column Instability was developed to allow in vivo
observation of bone remodeling and arthrodesis after spinal instrumentation. After an initial …

A retrospective review of the cases of fifteen patients with a three-part fracture of the proximal
part of the humerus is presented. Fourteen of the fractures were treated with tension-band …

An animal model of anterior and posterior cojumn instability was developed to allow in vivo
observation of bone remodeling and arthrodesis following spinal instrumentation. After an …

To simulate the spinal instability that is found clinically after anterior corpectomy for the
treatment of a fracture or a neoplasm, twelve fresh calf-spine segments, each containing five …

Background The treatment of chronic sciatica caused by herniation of a lumbar disk has not
been well studied in comparison with acute disk herniation. Data are needed on whether …

Background context Thoracolumbar burst fractures have good outcomes when treated with
early ambulation and orthosis (TLSO). If equally good outcomes could be achieved with early …

OBJECTIVE The object of this study was to determine the association between
postoperative sagittal spinopelvic alignment and patient-rated outcome measures following …

BACKGROUND Approximately 75% of hospitalized patients with a cervical spinal cord injury
(CSCI) will require intubation and mechanical ventilation (MV) because of compromised …

Object The authors compared the outcome of patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures
treated with and without a thoracolumbosacral orthosis (TLSO). Methods As of June 2002, all …

Traumatic injury can cause a systemic inflammatory response, increasing oxidative activity
of circulating leukocytes and potentially exacerbating the original injury, as well as causing …
