Journal ArticleDOI
Heterotopic ossification in total cervical artificial disc replacement.
Christoph Mehren,Petr Suchomel,Frank Grochulla,Pavel Barsa,Petra Sourkova,Jan Hradil,Andreas Korge,H. Michael Mayer +7 more
TL;DR: Whether segmental motion can be preserved, and whether TCDR can provide improvement of the patient’s ability to perform activities of daily living as well as a decrease of pain, are tested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical results of total lumbar disc replacement with ProDisc II: three-year results for different indications.
TL;DR: Beneficial clinical results of TDR for treatment of DDD in a highly selected group of patients are suggested, significantly dependent on preoperative diagnosis and patient selection, number of replaced segments, and age of the patient at the time of operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Total lumbar disc replacement: different results for different levels.
TL;DR: The level and the number of lumbar disc replacements influence postoperative outcome significantly and the incidence of postoperative pain originating from facet and/or iliosacral joints is currently underestimated and will require further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Oblique Anterolateral Approach to the Lumbar Spine Provides Access to the Lumbar Spine With Few Early Complications
TL;DR: The risk of vascular complications after oblique lumbar interbody fusion seems to be lower compared with reported risk for anterior midline approaches, and the risk of neurologic complications after bowels-gauging surgery seems toBe lower than what has been reported with the extreme lateral transpsoas approach; however, readers are cautioned that head-to-head studies will need to be performed to confirm the very preliminary comparisons and results with the oblique psoas-sparing approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Histological analysis of surgical lumbar intervertebral disc tissue provides evidence for an association between disc degeneration and increased body mass index
Christoph Weiler,Mercedes Lopez-Ramos,H. Michael Mayer,Andreas Korge,Christoph J. Siepe,Karin Wuertz,Véronique Weiler,Norbert Boos,Andreas G. Nerlich +8 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated that histological disc alterations in surgical specimens can be graded in a reliable manner based on a quantitative histologic degeneration score (HDS), and increased BMI was identified as a positive risk factor for the development of symptomatic, clinically significant disc degeneration.
