  1. 1. Outcome after surgery for isthmic spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease

    Författare :Peter Endler; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Individuals with isthmic spondylolisthesis and lumbar degenerative disc disease may have low back and leg pain. Those with persistent symptoms non-responsive to conservative treatment are sometimes treated surgically. Various surgical methods have been introduced, but long-term outcome comparisons are scarce.

  3. 2. On Total Disc Replacement

    Författare :Svante Berg; Hans Tropp; Tycho Tullberg; Claes Olerud; Gunnar B.J. Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Low back pain consumes a large part of the community’s resources dedicated to health care and sick leave. Back disorders also negatively affect the individual leading to pain suffering, decreased quality-of-life and disability. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Cervical Radiculopathy : Studies on Pain Analysis and Treatment

    Författare :Anna MacDowall; Claes Olerud; Helena Brisby; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cervical radiculopahy; Artificial disc replacement; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Knowledge about how to interpret pain-analyzing tools such as the pain drawing test and the visual analog scale (VAS) in cervical spine patients are sparse; hence, they have never been validated for this subgroup of patients. The method of artificial disc replacement (ADR) has been developed as an alternative treatment to fusion surgery after decompression for cervical degenerative disc disease (DDD) with radiculopathy.

  5. 4. Intervertebral disc degeneration in dogs

    Författare :Niklas Bergknut; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Back pain is common in both dogs and humans, and is often associated with intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration. The IVDs are essential structures of the spine and degeneration can ultimately result in diseases such as IVD herniation or spinal instability. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Lumbar fusion for chronic low-back pain in isthmic spondylolisthesis

    Författare :Per Ekman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Exercise; Outcome; Long-term; interbody fusion; spinal fusion; lumbar; Adjacent segment degeneration; Isthmic spondylolisthesis; Degenerative disc disease; Chronic low back pain; predictor; prospective; pain drawing; sciatica; psychologic screening; Randomized controlled trial;

    Sammanfattning : Manifestation of isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS), with a prevalence of 5% in the general population, varies from totally asymptomatic to severe disability. Although fusion has positive short-term effects, the long-term outcome of such treatment, as well as possible accelerated degeneration of adjacent segment discs (ASD) and its clinical significance, are unknown.
