Journal ArticleDOI
Contribution of Lumbar Spine Pathology and Age to Paraspinal Muscle Size and Fatty Infiltration
Bahar Shahidi,Callan L. Parra,David B. Berry,James C. Hubbard,Sara P. Gombatto,Vinko Zlomislic,R. Todd Allen,Jan M. Hughes-Austin,Steven R. Garfin,Samuel R. Ward +9 more
TL;DR: Lumbar muscle fat content, but not CSA, changes with age in individuals with pathology, and in women, this increase is more profound than age-related increases in healthy individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lumbar multifidus muscle degenerates in individuals with chronic degenerative lumbar spine pathology.
Bahar Shahidi,James C. Hubbard,Michael C. Gibbons,Severin Ruoss,Vinko Zlomislic,Richard Todd Allen,Steven R. Garfin,Samuel R. Ward +7 more
TL;DR: High levels of muscle degeneration, inflammation, and decreased vascularity were commonly seen in human multifidus biopsies of individuals with lumbar spine pathology in comparison to normative data, suggesting that changes in muscle tissue are more complex than simple atrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cell populations and muscle fiber morphology associated with acute and chronic muscle degeneration in lumbar spine pathology.
Bahar Shahidi,Michael C. Gibbons,Mary C. Esparza,Vinko Zlomislic,Richard Todd Allen,Steven R. Garfin,Samuel R. Ward +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that degeneration of muscle fibers is localized within a fiber, and is characterized by discontinuous or ragged membrane disruption, cellular infiltration, and apparently vacant space containing limited numbers of nuclei and hyper‐contractile cell debris.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) with open versus percutaneous screw fixation for adult degenerative scoliosis
TL;DR: LLIF with percutaneous posterior fixation, without decompression, should be considered part of the algorithm in select ADS patients with remaining compensatory mechanisms and understanding that greater degrees of correction may require an open, more extensive approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonoperative Management of a Severe Proximal Rectus Femoris Musculotendinous Injury in a Recreational Athlete: A Case Report.
TL;DR: This report describes a severe injury to the proximal rectus femoris muscle in a 37‐year‐old recreational athlete who was able to return to full activity without surgical intervention.
