Journal ArticleDOI
1997 Volvo Award winner in clinical studies. Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis: a prospective, randomized study comparing decompressive laminectomy and arthrodesis with and without spinal instrumentation.

TL;DR: In patients undergoing single‐level posterolateral fusion for degenerative spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis, the use of pedicle screws may lead to a higher fusion rate, but clinical outcome shows no improvement in pain in the back and lower limbs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical vs nonoperative treatment for lumbar disk herniation: the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) observational cohort
James Neil Weinstein,Jon D. Lurie,Tor D. Tosteson,Jonathan Skinner,Brett Hanscom,Anna N. A. Tosteson,Harry N. Herkowitz,Jeffrey S. Fischgrund,Frank P. Cammisa,Todd J. Albert,Richard A. Deyo +10 more
TL;DR: Patients with persistent sciatica from lumbar disk herniation improved in both operated and usual care groups, and those who chose operative intervention reported greater improvements than patients who elected nonoperative care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical versus nonoperative treatment for lumbar disc herniation: four-year results for the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT).
James Neil Weinstein,Jon D. Lurie,Tor D. Tosteson,Anna N. A. Tosteson,Emily A. Blood,William A. Abdu,Harry N. Herkowitz,Alan S. Hilibrand,Todd J. Albert,Jeffrey S. Fischgrund +9 more
TL;DR: For example, the authors found that patients who underwent surgery for lumbar disc herniation achieved greater improvement than nonoperatively treated patients; there was little to no degradation of outcomes in either group (operative and nonoperative) from 4 to 8 years.

Surgical Versus Nonoperative Treatment for Lumbar Disc Herniation
James Neil Weinstein,Jon D. Lurie,Tor D. Tosteson,Anna N. A. Tosteson,Emily A. Blood,William A. Abdu,Harry N. Herkowitz,Alan S. Hilibrand,Todd J. Albert,Jeffrey S. Fischgrund +9 more
TL;DR: Patients who underwent surgery for a lumbar disc herniation achieved greater improvement than nonoperatively treated patients in all primary and secondary outcomes except work status at 4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis with spinal stenosis: a prospective long-term study comparing fusion and pseudarthrosis.
Martin B. Kornblum,Jeffrey S. Fischgrund,Harry N. Herkowitz,David A. Abraham,David L. Berkower,Jeff S. Ditkoff +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective, randomized study on patients who underwent posterior lumbar decompression with bilateral posterolateral arthrodesis was conducted to determine the longterm influence of pseudarthrosis on the clinical outcome of patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis.
