Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of pedicle screw placement in lumbar vertebrae.
TL;DR: Correct placement of transpedicular screws for spinal fusion seems to be more difficult than it looks and the computed tomography scanning is useful for differential diagnosis of postoperative radicular syndromes after lumbartranspedicular fixation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do "whiplash injuries" occur in low-speed rear impacts?
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to find out whether in a rear-impact motor vehicle accident, velocity changes in the impact vehicle of between 10 and 15 km/h can cause so-called "whiplash injuries" based on experimental biochemical, kinematic and clinical analysis with volunteers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive three-dimensional analysis of cervical spine motion in normal subjects in relation to age and sex. An experimental examination.
TL;DR: The CMS 50 device provides precise reproducible measurements of the active range of motion of the cervical spine in all three planes and shows significantly better mobility than men of the same age, only above the age of 70.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of pedicle screws following instrumented dorsal fusion of the lumbar spine
TL;DR: The technique of transpedicular screw fixation for spinal fusion is highly demanding and should be performed only by experienced surgeons after a clear indication and after a trial of intense conservative therapy.
Journal Article
Septic arthritis: arthroscopic management with local antibiotic treatment
TL;DR: Because of the advantages of arthroscopic treatment, it should be performed as soon as joint infection is confirmed and in 10 out of 12 cases the infection was cured by one operation.
