1. 1. On Surgery for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

   Författare :Peter Försth; Bengt Sandén; Helena Brisby; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; spinal stenosis; decompression; fusion; degenerative spondylolisthesis; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; Neurosurgery; Neurokirurgi;

   Sammanfattning : The incidence of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is steadily rising, mostly because of a noticeably older age structure. In Sweden, LSS surgery has increased continuously over the years and is presently the most common argument to undergo spine surgery. The purpose of the surgery is to decompress the neural elements in the stenotic spinal canal. LÄS MER

   Författare :Allan Abbott; Rune Hedlund; Raija Tyni-Lenné; Elisabeth Skargren; Sweden Stockholm Karolinska Institutet Intervention and Technology Department of Clinical Sciences; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Biopsychosocial factors; chronic low back pain; disability; health related quality of life; ICF; mediation; outcome prediction; rehabilitation; spinal fusion; Biopsychosocial factors; chronic low back pain; disability; spinal fusion; health related quality of life; ICF; mediation; outcome prediction; rehabilitation;

   Sammanfattning : Over the last two decades, the economic costs and rates of lumbar fusion surgery for chronic low back pain has risen dramatically in western industrialized countries. Data from the Swedish National Spine Register suggest that 25% of patients experience unimproved pain and up to 40% are not satisfied with the outcome of lumbar fusion surgery. LÄS MER

4. 3. Determinants of outcome in lumbar spinal stenosis surgery

   Författare :Freyr Gauti Sigmundsson; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lumbar spinal stenosis; outcome; pain; function; health related quality of life; decompression; spinal fusion;

   Sammanfattning : Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a degenerative disorder of the spine that predominantly affects the elderly. LSS is the most common spinal disorder leading to surgery in Sweden. Recent randomized controlled studies have showed better outcome with surgery compared to conservative treatment. LÄS MER

5. 4. On the Diagnosis and Treatment of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

   Författare :Konstantinos Pazarlis; Peter Försth; Bengt Sandén; Nikos Schizas; Karl Michaëlsson; Christian Hellum; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; lumbar spinal stenosis; spine surgery; decompression; fusion; sagittal balance; electrodiagnosis; neurophysiology; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; Neurology; Neurologi; Radiology; Radiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is the most common indication for spinal surgery. The aging global population is increasing the demand for strategies that promote physical activity among the elderly. As the prevalence of LSS rises, the condition gains constantly demographic and socioeconomic attention. LÄS MER

7. 5. Novel Materials and Implant Designs for the Treatment of Degenerative Disc Disease
