RESUMEN

Electrical stimulation is an important adjuvant therapy for spinal surgery, but whether receiving electrical stimulation can improve the fusion rate after spinal surgery is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to analyse and evaluate the effect of electrical stimulation on the fusion rate after spinal surgery. We systematically searched for related articles published in the PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases on or before September 30, 2023. The odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and the fusion rates of the experimental group and the control group were calculated by a random-effects meta-analysis model. The analysis showed that receiving electrical stimulation significantly increased the probability of successful spinal fusion (OR 2.66 [95% CI 1.79-3.97]), and the average fusion rate of the electrical stimulation group (86.8%) was significantly greater than that of the control group (73.7%). The fusion rate in the direct current (DC) stimulation group was 2.33 times greater than that in the control group (OR 2.33 [95% CI 1.37-3.96]), and that in the pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) group was 2.60 times greater than that in the control group (OR 2.60 [95% CI 1.29-5.27]). Similarly, the fusion rate in the capacitive coupling (CC) electrical stimulation group was 3.44 times greater than that in the control group (OR 3.44 [95% CI 1.75-6.75]), indicating that regardless of the type of electrical stimulation, the fusion rate after spinal surgery improved to a certain extent. Electrical stimulation as an adjuvant therapy seems to improve the fusion rate after spinal surgery to a certain extent, but the specific effectiveness of this therapy needs to be further studied.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: In spinal surgery adverse events (AE) and surgical complications (SC) significantly affect patient's outcome and quality of life. The duration of surgery has been investigated in different surgical field as risk factor for complications. The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation between operative time and adverse events in spinal surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data collected prospectively in a cohort of 336 patients surgically treated for spinal diseases of oncological and degenerative origin in a single center, between January 2017 to January 2018. Demographics and clinical data were collected. Adverse events were classified using Spinal Adverse Events Severity System version 2 (SAVES-V2) capture system. Focusing on degenerative patients, bivariate analysis and univariate logistic regression were used to determine the association between operative time and complications. RESULTS: A total of 105/336 patients experienced an AE related to surgery, respectively 38% in the oncological group and 28% in the degenerative group. The average age at surgery was 60.3 years (SD 17.1) and the mean operative time was 164.8 ± 138 min. A total of 206 adverse events (30 intraoperative, 135 early postoperative and 41 late postoperative AEs) were recorded. Early post-operative complications accounted for the most recorded AEs (55.5% in the oncological group and 73.2% in the degenerative group). Univariate logistic regression analyses confirmed that operative time correlated with increased risk of intra-operative (p-value = 0.0008), early post-operative (p-value < 0.001) and late post-operative (p-value < 0.001) adverse events. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the strong correlation between the occurrence of adverse events in spinal surgery and prolonged operative time and suggests that efforts should be made to minimize the duration of surgical procedures while prioritizing patient's safety, without compromising the technical achievement of the procedure.

RESUMEN

Technological innovation has advanced the efficacy of spine surgery for patients; however, these advances do not consistently translate into clinical effectiveness. Some patients who undergo spine surgery experience continued chronic back pain and other complications that were not present before the procedure. Defects in healthcare value, such as the lack of clinical benefit from spine surgery, are, unfortunately, common, and the US healthcare system spends $1.4 trillion annually on value defects. In this article, we examine how avoidable complications, postacute healthcare use, revision surgeries, and readmissions among spine surgery patients contribute to $67 million of wasteful spending on value defects. Furthermore, we estimate that almost $27 million of these costs could be recuperated simply by redirecting patients to facilities referred to as centers of excellence. In total, quality improvement efforts are costly to implement but may only cost about $36 million to fully correct the $67 million in finances misappropriated to value defects. The objectives of this article are to present an approach to eliminate defects in spine surgery, including a center-of-excellence framework for eliminating defects specific to this group of procedures.

RESUMEN

Back pain is one of the most urgent healthcare problems in many countries of the world. The high prevalence of the disease among persons of working age, the high disability indices and the high economic losses determine the relevance of this problem and its epidemiological and socio-economic significance. OBJECTIVE: To analyze sources of scientific and technical literature and study materials of meta-analyses, systematic reviews on the issues of evaluation of the spinal traction effectiveness (dry and underwater, horizontal and vertical) in the treatment of patients with degenerative spine diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An analysis of 67 sources, including 54 periodical articles, 5 meta-analyses and 8 systematic reviews was conducted. The search depth was 20 years. RESULTS: The ability of the spinal traction method to influence on the pain intensity, functional state, general improvement or return to work in patients with degenerative spine diseases has been identified. There has been a statistically significant regression of lumbar and radicular pain under the influence of «dry¼ horizontal tractions of the spine (13389 patients with degenerative spine diseases received them), including in combination with physiotherapy (vibration, impulse currents, laser therapy), and there has been an improvement in the motor function of the spine, a decrease in the disability rate in patients with herniated disks. These results were also obvious in short-term observation (up to 3 months after intervention). Underwater traction (5533 patients received it) had a positive impact on pain syndrome at rest and during activity, increased the activity of patients. All registered effects were related to short-term effect for up to 3 months after the intervention. CONCLUSION: The evidence, based on the materials of meta-analyses and systematic reviews of medium and low quality, that «dry¼ and underwater spinal traction can be considered as a therapeutic tool for short-term (within 3 months) reducing pain and disability in patients with lumbar pain and lumbar radiculopathy, is presented.

RESUMEN

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES: Surgical infections are unfortunately a fairly common occurrence in spine surgery, with rates reported as high as 16 %. However, there is a relative paucity of studies that look to understand how surgical infections may impact outcome variables. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of surgical infection on other perioperative complications, extended hospital length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and unplanned readmission following spine surgery. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed using the 2016-2022 ACS NSQIP database. Adults receiving spine surgery for trauma, degenerative disease, and tumors were identified using CPT and ICD-9/10 codes. Patients were divided into two cohorts: surgical infection (superficial surgical site infection, deep surgical site infection, organ space surgical site infection, or wound dehiscence) and no surgical infection (those who did not experience any infection). Patient demographics, comorbidities, intraoperative variables, postoperative adverse events (AEs), and healthcare resource utilization were assessed. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify predictors of AEs, extended hospital length of stay, non-routine discharge, and unplanned readmission. RESULTS: In our cohort of 410,930 patients, 7854 (2.2 %) were found to have experienced a surgical infection. Regarding preoperative variables, a greater proportion of the surgical infection cohort was a female (p < 0.001) and had a higher mean BMI (p < 0.001), greater frailty and ASA scores (p < 0.001), and higher rates of all presenting comorbidities included in the study. Rates of AEs (p < 0.001), unplanned readmission (p < 0.001), reoperation (p < 0.001), non-home discharge (p < 0.001), and 30-day mortality were all greater in the surgical infection group when compared to the group without surgical infection. On multivariate analysis, surgical infection was found to be an independent predictor of experiencing postoperative complications [aOR: 6.15, 95 % CI: (5.72, 6.60), p < 0.001], prolonged LOS [2.71, 95 % CI: (2.54, 2.89), p < 0.001], non-routine discharge [aOR: 1.74, 95 % CI: (1.61, 1.88), p < 0.001], and unplanned readmission [aOR: 22.57, 95 % CI: (21.06, 24.19), p < 0.001]. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that surgical infection increases the risk of complications, extended LOS, non-routine discharge, and unplanned readmission. Such findings warrant further studies that aim to validate these results and identify risk factors for surgical infections.

RESUMEN

Longitudinal physical activity monitoring is a novel and promising objective outcome measure for patients with degenerative spine disorder (DSD) that currently lacks established standards for data collection and interpretation. Here, we monitored 100 patients with DSD with the Apple Watch to establish the optimal duration and pattern of step count monitoring needed to estimate their weekly physical activity before their elective surgery. Participants were predominantly female (65.3%), had an average age of 61.5 years, and showed consistent step counts between preoperative days, as well as across weekends and weekdays. Intraclass correlations (ICC) analysis showed that a step count average over 2 days achieved an ICC of 0.92 when compared to a 7-day average before surgery, while 4 days were required for a similar agreement of 0.93 with a 14-day average. Sequential linear regression demonstrated that incorporating additional preoperative days improved the model's ability to predict 7- and 14-days step count averages. We conclude that, while daily preoperative step counts remain relatively stable, longer activity monitoring is necessary to account for the variance in step count over an increasing time frame, and the full extent of data fluctuation may only become apparent with long-term trend analysis.

RESUMEN

Spanning two decades since the 1st generation spinal robotics inception, the robot-assisted spine surgery (RSS) technology has evolved through generations, culminating in the 4th generation characterized by real-time visual navigation and wire-free screw placement. The fundamental principles of RSS technology include surgical planning, tracking, image registration, and robotic arm control technologies. Currently, RSS technology is maturely employed in thoracolumbar procedures and is progressively being applied in cervical surgeries, spinal tumor resections, and percutaneous operations, offering advantages in reducing tissue trauma and exposure to radiation, thereby improving patient outcomes. Emerging research also focuses on the cost-effectiveness of clinical applications and robot-specific complications. With the integration of artificial intelligence into surgical planning, RSS technology is poised to further incorporate emerging technologies and expand its application across a broader clinical spectrum.

RESUMEN

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of spinal robot-assisted pedicle screw placement through different surgical approaches and to guide the clinical selection of appropriate robot-assisted surgical approaches. Methods: The clinical data of 14 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral diseases who met the selection criteria between January 2023 and August 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, and all of them underwent pedicle screw placement under assistant of the Mazor X spinal surgery robot through different surgical approaches. The patients were divided into posterior median approach (PMA) group ( n=6) and intermuscular approach (IMA) group ( n=8) according to the surgical approaches, and there was no significant difference in age, gender, body mass index, disease type, and fixed segment between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, screw-related complications, and reoperation rate were recorded and compared between the two groups; the inclination angle of the screw, the distance between the screw and the midline, and the caudal inclination angle of the screw were measured based on X-ray films at immediate after operation. Results: There was no significant difference in operation time and intraoperative blood loss between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no screw-related complication such as nerve injury in both groups, and no patients underwent secondary surgery. At immediate after operation, the inclination angle of the screw, the distance between the screw and the midline, and the caudal inclination angle of the screw in the IMA group were significantly greater than those in the PMA group ( P<0.05). Conclusion: There are differences in the position and inclination angle of screws placed with robot-assisted surgery through different surgical approaches, which may be due to the obstruction of the screw path by soft tissues such as skin and muscles. When using spinal robot-assisted surgery, selecting the appropriate surgical approach for different diseases can make the treatment more reasonable and effective.

RESUMEN

The implementation of information technologies into treatment practice of modern health care significantly increases efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of dorsopathies. The purpose of the study is to develop software module to evaluate post-urological status of patients with spine dorsopathy to optimize diagnostic process and treatment planning. The article describes application of original software module to assess the post-urological status of patients with spine dorsopathy. The proposed software module is designed for objective assessment of post-urological status of patients with spine dorsopathy based on photographic images of examined patient. The most important advantage of software module is built-in forecasting function that is implemented by calculation of severity of pain perceptions and movement disorders using generated regression equations. The possibility to record data obtained during measurements permits to store information in single system. The implementation of software module into clinical practice will contribute to qualitative improvement of diagnostic processes, simplify work of osteopath and reduce the time spent on examination.

RESUMEN

Low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal complaint accounting for over 30 million visits to primary care physicians annually. Serious pathology is found in less than 1% of these visits. Therefore it is often a challenge to distinguish worrisome findings requiring further workup and treatment from common complaints of pain. Gout is an inflammatory arthritis that most commonly affects the appendicular skeleton. It is characterized by the saturation of uric acid and deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints and tissues. Spinal involvement is rare and is not typically considered on the differential diagnosis for a patient presenting with acute low back pain. We present such a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with intractable back pain, highlighting the need to recognize signs and symptoms that raise suspicion for spinal gout.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of super-resolution deep-learning-based reconstruction (SR-DLR), which leverages k-space data, on the image quality of lumbar spine magnetic resonance (MR) bone imaging using a 3D multi-echo in-phase sequence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, 29 patients who underwent lumbar spine MRI, including an MR bone imaging sequence between January and April 2023, were analyzed. Images were reconstructed with and without SR-DLR (Matrix sizes: 960 × 960 and 320 × 320, respectively). The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the vertebral body and spinal canal and the contrast and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) between the vertebral body and spinal canal were quantitatively evaluated. Furthermore, the slope at half-peak points of the profile curve drawn across the posterior border of the vertebral body was calculated. Two radiologists independently assessed image noise, contrast, artifacts, sharpness, and overall image quality of both image types using a 4-point scale. Interobserver agreement was evaluated using weighted kappa coefficients, and quantitative and qualitative scores were compared via the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS: SNRs of the vertebral body and spinal canal were notably improved in images with SR-DLR (p < 0.001). Contrast and CNR were significantly enhanced with SR-DLR compared to those without SR-DLR (p = 0.023 and p = 0.022, respectively). The slope of the profile curve at half-peak points across the posterior border of the vertebral body and spinal canal was markedly higher with SR-DLR (p < 0.001). Qualitative scores (noise: p < 0.001, contrast: p < 0.001, artifact p = 0.042, sharpness: p < 0.001, overall image quality: p < 0.001) were superior in images with SR-DLR compared to those without. Kappa analysis indicated moderate to good agreement (noise: κ = 0.56, contrast: κ = 0.51, artifact: κ = 0.46, sharpness: κ = 0.76, overall image quality: κ = 0.44). CONCLUSION: SR-DLR, which is based on k-space data, has the potential to enhance the image quality of lumbar spine MR bone imaging utilizing a 3D gradient echo in-phase sequence. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The application of SR-DLR can lead to improvements in lumbar spine MR bone imaging quality.

RESUMEN

Spinal magnetic resonance (MR) scans are a vital tool for diagnosing the cause of back pain for many diseases and conditions. However, interpreting clinically useful information from these scans can be challenging, time-consuming and hard to reproduce across different radiologists. In this paper, we alleviate these problems by introducing a multi-stage automated pipeline for analysing spinal MR scans. This pipeline first detects and labels vertebral bodies across several commonly used sequences (e.g. T1w, T2w and STIR) and fields of view (e.g. lumbar, cervical, whole spine). Using these detections it then performs automated diagnosis for several spinal disorders, including intervertebral disc degenerative changes in T1w and T2w lumbar scans, and spinal metastases, cord compression and vertebral fractures. To achieve this, we propose a new method of vertebrae detection and labelling, using vector fields to group together detected vertebral landmarks and a language-modelling inspired beam search to determine the corresponding levels of the detections. We also employ a new transformer-based architecture to perform radiological grading which incorporates context from multiple vertebrae and sequences, as a real radiologist would. The performance of each stage of the pipeline is tested in isolation on several clinical datasets, each consisting of 66 to 421 scans. The outputs are compared to manual annotations of expert radiologists, demonstrating accurate vertebrae detection across a range of scan parameters. Similarly, the model's grading predictions for various types of disc degeneration and detection of spinal metastases closely match those of an expert radiologist. To aid future research, our code and trained models are made publicly available.

RESUMEN

Three Shiba goats aged 1 to 7 years kept in Ibaraki prefecture in Japan were presented with chief complaint of lumbar paralysis or gait abnormalities. As cerebrospinal setariasis were suspected in all cases at the first stage, ivermectin was administered to treat, but the response was insufficient. Necropsy revealed abscess formation on the ventral side of the spine at T5 in Case 1, T5-6 in Case 2, and C7-T1 in Case 3, causing compression of the spinal cord in all three cases. In addition to cerebrospinal setariasis, vertebral abscess should be considered as a cause of paresis or gait abnormalities in goats in Japan. Computed tomography was a useful for diagnosing vertebral abscess.

RESUMEN

Objective: This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) for detecting pathogens in spinal infections and to identify the differences in the diagnostic performance between mNGS and targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS). Methods: A total of 76 consecutive patients with suspected spinal infections who underwent mNGS, culture, and histopathological examinations were retrospectively studied. The final diagnosis of the patient was determined by combining the clinical treatment results, pathological examinations, imaging changes and laboratory indicators. The sensitivity and specificity of mNGS and culture were determined. Results: The difference between the two detection rates was statistically significant (p < 0.001), with mNGS exhibiting a significantly higher detection rate (77.6% versus 18.4%). The average diagnosis time of mNGS was significantly shorter than that of bacterial culture (p < 0.001, 1.65 versus 3.07 days). The sensitivity and accuracy of mNGS were significantly higher than that of the culture group (p < 0.001, 82.3% versus 17.5%; 75% versus 27.6%), whereas the specificity of mNGS (42.9%) was lower than that of the culture group (p > 0.05, 42.9% versus 76.9%). The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and positive predictive value (PPV) of pus were higher than those of tissue samples for mNGS, whereas for culture, the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and PPV of tissue samples were higher than those of pus. tNGS demonstrated higher sensitivity and accuracy in diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) than mNGS (80% versus 50%; 87.5% versus 68.8%). Conclusion: mNGS for spinal infection demonstrated better diagnostic value in developing an antibiotic regimen earlier, and it is recommended to prioritize pus samples for testing through mNGS. Moreover, tNGS outperformed other methods for diagnosing spinal TB and identifying antibiotic-resistance genes in drug-resistant TB.

RESUMEN

Spinal diseases and frozen shoulder are prevalent health problems in Asian populations. Early assessment and treatment are very important to prevent the disease from getting worse and reduce pain. In the field of computer vision, it is a challenging problem to assess the range of motion. In order to realize efficient, real-time and accurate assessment of the range of motion, an assessment system combining MediaPipe and YOLOv5 technologies was proposed in this study. On this basis, Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) is introduced into the YOLOv5 target detection model, which can enhance the extraction of feature information, suppress background interference, and improve the generalization ability of the model. In order to meet the requirements of large-scale computing, a client/server (C/S) framework structure is adopted. The evaluation results can be obtained quickly after the client uploads the image data, providing a convenient and practical solution. In addition, a game of "Picking Bayberries" was developed as an auxiliary treatment method to provide patients with interesting rehabilitation training.

RESUMEN

Spinal diseases, including intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), ankylosing spondylitis, spinal cord injury and other non­infectious spinal diseases, severely affect the quality of life of patients. Current treatments for IDD and other spinal diseases can only relieve symptoms and do not completely cure the disease. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore the causes of these diseases and develop new treatment approaches. Long non­coding RNA (lncRNA), a form of non­coding RNA, is abundant in diverse sources, has numerous functions, and plays an important role in the occurrence and development of spinal diseases such as IDD. However, the mechanism of action of lncRNAs has not been fully elucidated, and significant challenges remain in the use of lncRNAs as new therapeutic targets. The present article reviews the sources, classification and functions of lncRNAs, and introduces the role of lncRNAs in spinal diseases, such as IDD, and their therapeutic potential.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: To assess the image quality and impact on acquisition time of a novel deep learning based T2 Dixon sequence (T2DL) of the spine. METHODS: This prospective, single center study included n = 44 consecutive patients with a clinical indication for lumbar MRI at our university radiology department between September 2022 and March 2023. MRI examinations were performed on 1.5-T and 3-T scanners (MAGNETOM Aera and Vida; Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) using dedicated spine coils. The MR study protocol consisted of our standard clinical protocol, including a T2 weighted standard Dixon sequence (T2std) and an additional T2DL acquisition. The latter used a conventional sampling pattern with a higher parallel acceleration factor. The individual contrasts acquired for Dixon water-fat separation were then reconstructed using a dedicated research application. After reconstruction of the contrast images from k-space data, a conventional water-fat separation was performed to provide derived water images. Two readers with 6 and 4 years of experience in interpreting MSK imaging, respectively, analyzed the images in a randomized fashion. Regarding overall image quality, banding artifacts, artifacts, sharpness, noise, and diagnostic confidence were analyzed using a 5-point Likert scale (from 1 = non-diagnostic to 5 = excellent image quality). Statistical analyses included the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and weighted Cohen's kappa statistics. RESULTS: Forty-four patients (mean age 53 years (±18), male sex: 39 %) were prospectively included. Thirty-one examinations were performed on 1.5 T and 13 examinations on 3 T scanners. A sequence was successfully acquired in all patients. The total acquisition time of T2DL was 93 s at 1.5-T and 86 s at 3-T, compared to 235 s, and 257 s, respectively for T2std (reduction of acquisition time: 60.4 % at 1.5-T, and 66.5 % at 3-T; p < 0.01). Overall image quality was rated equal for both sequences (median T2DL: 5[3 -5], and median T2std: 5 [2 -5]; p = 0.57). T2DL showed significantly reduced noise levels compared to T2std (5 [4 -5] versus 4 [3 -4]; p < 0.001). In addition, sharpness was rated to be significantly higher in T2DL (5 [4 -5] versus 4 [3 -5]; p < 0.001). Although T2DL displayed significantly more banding artifacts (5 [2 -5] versus 5 [4 -5]; p < 0.001), no significant impact on readers diagnostic confidence between sequences was noted (T2std: 5 [2 -5], and T2DL: 5 [3 -5]; p = 0.61). Substantial inter-reader and intrareader agreement was observed for T2DL overall image quality (κ: 0.77, and κ: 0.8, respectively). CONCLUSION: T2DL is feasible, yields an image quality comparable to the reference standard while substantially reducing the acquisition time.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an inflammatory disorder of bone, typically arising adjacent to the physes of long bones but also seen throughout the skeleton. For patients with spinal involvement, CRMO lesions can cause compression deformities with a range of severity from minimal anterior wedging to circumferential height loss, known as vertebra plana. This study examines a large cohort of CRMO patients to determine the prevalence of spine involvement and vertebral deformity. METHODS: This is a retrospective review of all patients with a diagnosis of CRMO seen at our institution between January 2003 and December 2020. These patients were identified through a prospectively maintained database of all CRMO patients seen at the institution. A retrospective review was undertaken to identify all patients with spinal involvement and determine the prevalence of CRMO in the spine and its effects on vertebral height and deformity. RESULTS: Of 170 patients included in this study, 48 (28.2%) were found to have spinal involvement. Among patients with spinal involvement, vertebral body lesions were identified in 27 (56.3%) patients. The remaining lesions were in the sacrum or posterior elements. Radiographic evidence of the vertebral body height loss was noted in 23 of these 27 patients. CONCLUSIONS: This cohort of CRMO patients demonstrates that 28% of patients have spinal involvement, and 48% of those patients have vertebral body height loss. While the ideal treatment for spinal CRMO has yet to be determined, imaging studies, including whole-body MRI and spine-specific MRI, are useful in identifying vertebral lesions and deformities. Identification and surveillance of these lesions are important as the disorder has a relapsing and remitting course, and patients can develop significant vertebral body height loss. Once deformity has developed, we have seen no evidence of reconstitution of the height of the collapsed vertebra. Bisphosphonates have been successful in preventing the progression of vertebral body height loss. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II: Retrospective study investigating spinal involvement and prevalence of vertebral body deformity in patients diagnosed with CRMO.
