TL;DR: Patients who underwent surgery showed significantly more improvement in all primary outcomes than did patients who were treated nonsurgically, and the combined as-treated analysis showed a significant advantage for surgery by 3 months for allPrimary outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jeff S. Silber,D. Greg Anderson,Scott D. Daffner,Brian T. Brislin,J. Martin Leland,Alan S. Hilibrand,Alexander R. Vaccaro,Todd J. Albert +7 more
TL;DR: A large percentage of patients report chronic donor site pain after anterior ICBG donation, even when only a single-level ACDF procedure is performed, and long-term functional impairment can also be significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical versus Nonsurgical Treatment for Lumbar Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
James Neil Weinstein,Jon D. Lurie,Tor D. Tosteson,Brett Hanscom,Anna N. A. Tosteson,Emily A. Blood,Nancy J. O. Birkmeyer,Alan S. Hilibrand,Harry N. Herkowitz,Frank P. Cammisa,Todd J. Albert,Sanford E. Emery,Lawrence G. Lenke,William A. Abdu,Michael Longley,Thomas J. Errico,Serena S. Hu +16 more
TL;DR: In nonrandomized as-treated comparisons with careful control for potentially confounding baseline factors, patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis treated surgically showed substantially greater improvement in pain and function during a period of 2 years than patients treated nonsurgically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical vs nonoperative treatment for lumbar disk herniation: the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) observational cohort

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.
