A STUDY OF 60 CASES

ABSTRACT Objectives: Determine the most prevalent type of curve in our population, to quantify the radiographic parameters such as PT, IP, SS and compare the physical function according to ODI and SRS-22r. Methods: Retrospective, observational, longitudinal, single-center study, carried out from January 2010 to May 2015 at the Centro Médico ISSEMYM Ecatepec, Spine Surgery Service. Results: A total of 60 patients were obtained, 60% female, with curvatures according to SRS-Schwab, type T (28%), TL (46.6%), D (15%), N (10%), with a mean preoperative VAS of 7 for all curves and post-surgical 2 after 6 months. The SRS-22r preoperative test was 2.1 and postoperatively was 3.75, with p<0.001. Conclusions: Deformities of the adult spine are a growing disease in our country. The surgical management of deformities requires proper clinical and radiographic planning. Patients undergoing surgical treatment in our study showed curvature type TL and demonstrated significant improvement in ODI and SRS-22r. Keywords: Scoliosis; Classification SRS-schwab; Sagittal balance; Radiographic criteria. RESUMO Objetivos: Determinar o tipo de curva mais prevalente em nossa população, quantificar os parâmetros radiográficos, tais como PT, PI, SS e comparar a função física de acordo com ODI e SR

INCIDENCE OF THE ADJACENT SEGMENT DISEASE TREATED AT THE ISSEMYM MEDICAL CENTER

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the incidence and rate of disc degeneration adjacent to a lumbar fusion, as well as to analyze possible risk factors for its development. Methods: A retrospective study of a level of evidence IIB case series of 125 patients diagnosed with lumbar canal stenosis and spondylolisthesis, who underwent surgery from January 2011 to December 2016, with subsequent instrumentation and posterolateral fusion and outpatient follow-up in which the symptomatology and radiographic findings were evaluated to establish the diagnosis and management. Results: Twelve patients with adjacent segment disease were identified, with an incidence of 9.6%, higher both among female patients and in the seventh decade of life. The most frequent pathology was canal stenosis (42.4%), the most affected level was L4 / L5, and the procedure most associated with the prevalence of adjacent level degeneration was L4-L5 posterior transpedicular instrumentation. Conclusions: Sagittalization of the facet joint was a constant factor in all patients with involvement of the adjacent disc. The main clinical findings were treatment-resistant root pain and radiographic alterations characterized by spondylolisthesis, facet osteoarthritis and intervertebral disc herniation. Level of Evidence IIB; Retrospective study
