U članku su obrađene novosti i perspektive u invazivnom liječenju u vertebrologiji s naglaskom na interventne i poluinvazivne postupke te minimalno invazivnu kirurgiju u liječenju hernije ...intervertebralnog diska slabinske kralježnice. Osim toga opisane su novosti u neuroablativnim postupcima u liječenju križobolje, fiksaciji kralježnice i operativnom liječenju skolioza. Članak se osvrće i na metode koje se još ne primjenjuju kod nas, a koje dosta obećavaju kao što su rekonstrukcije nukleusa pulpozusa transplantacijom autolognih hondrocita, a prikazane su najnovije spoznaje u kirurgiji vratne kralježnice. Upozoreno je na uspješnost svake pojedine kirurške metode liječenja. Osim što je informativan, zajedno s odgovarajućim člankom o patofiziologiji spinalne boli, magnetskoj rezonanciji i konzervativnom liječenju ovaj tematski članak o najnovijim spoznajama u tom području može pomoći u pristupu bolesnicima.
We report on the influence of the duration of halogravity traction for achieving curve correction in monozygotic twins with Marfan syndrome who underwent posterior spinal fusion. Review of the ...medical charts and standard radiograph analysis of twin girls treated at our department was performed. Halogravity traction with a four-pin skull construct was applied for 3 weeks in twin A and for 2 weeks in twin B with a maximum of 20% body weight used. Both were on a 24-hours-day halogravity traction regime. Achieved thoracic curve correction after halogravity traction was 31% in twin A and 18% in twin B. Although less curve correction after traction was achieved in twin B, this had no significant implications on final postoperative curve correction. Halogravity traction can be a useful tool in the preoperative treatment of scoliosis in patients with Marfan syndrome if applied for 3 weeks. In order to avoid complications, we propose that lower weights be used with a starting weight of 1.5 kg increased by 1 kg daily until 20% body weight is reached.
Prednji dio čahure zgloba kuka nerviraju n. femoralis i n. obturatorius, dok stražnji dio čahure inervira n. musculi quadratus femoris i povremeno n. glutealis superior (posterolateralni dio) i n. ...ischiadicus (posterosuperiorni dio). Jedna od mogućnosti za primjenu regionalne anestezije u kirurgiji zgloba kuka je blok odjeljka fascije iliace (FICB), koji zahvaća živce bitne za inervaciju kuka te senzornu inervaciju bedra – n. femoralis, n.obturatorius i n. cutaneus femoris lateralis. FICB se može izvesti relativno jednostavno i predstavlja dobru opciju za zbrinjavanje fraktura kuka u hitnim situacijama. Dokazano je kako smanjuje upotrebu morfija preoperativno u pacijenata s frakturom vrata femura, a može biti indicirani za artroplastiku kuka, artroskopije kuka te sanaciju opeklina u regiji bedra. Quadratus Lumborum blok (QLB ) spada u blokove stražnjeg abdominalnog zida te se provodi isključivo pod kontrolom ultrazvuka. Još uvijek nije razjašnjen točan mehanizam njegovog djelovanja. Dokazano je kako prednji QLB dovodi do smanjenja trajanja boravka u bolnici i smanjenja upotrebe opioida nakon operacija kuka. Također, pokazao se kao uspješnija metoda perioperativne analgezije u bolesnika u kojih se provodi zahvat na kuku ili proksimalnom femuru u usporedbi sa standardnom intravenskom analgezijom, te omogućuje ranu mobilizaciju pacijenata, što smanjuje pojavnost duboke venske tromboze i tromboembolijskih komplikacija. S druge strane, neki živčani ogranci koji sudjeluju u inervaciji zgloba kuka nisu zahvaćeni s QLB , što također treba uzeti u obzir. QLB se pokazao kao potencijalna opcija za anesteziju u kirurgiji kuka, no tek se treba dokazati njegova pouzdanost.
In this article authors outline new techniques and prospects in invasive treatment in vertebrology with emphasis on interventional and semi invasive procedures and minimally invasive surgery for ...lumbar disc herniation. They describe new approaches in neuroablative procedures for back pain treatment, in spinal fixation and in surgical treatment of scoliosis. Authors also report methods of great expectations which are not yet in use in our clinical practice but are promising like reconstruction of nucleus pulposus by autologous chondrocytes transplantation. New methods in cervical spine surgery are also discussed. The efficacy of each surgical method is pointed out. Apart from being informative, together with the corresponding article on patophysiology, magnetic resonance imaging and conservative treatment, these articles considering recent developments can be used as an aid in decision making when approaching these patients.
There is a controversy in results about influence of surgery on pulmonary function in idiopathic scoliosis. The aim of the study was to study pulmonary function in severe thoracic idiopathic ...scoliosis and to detect changes in pulmonary function after the three-dimensional anterior surgical correction in severe thoracic scoliosis. 91 patients at the age of 16±5.1yrs underwent surgery in order to make a correction of scoliotic deformity. All the curves were greater than 70° (86±5.1). Group I consisted of 60 patients with scoliotic curves between 70° and 100°, while group II consisted of 31 patients with curves greater than 100°. All the patients were operated by anterior instrumentation and the average correction was 74%±15 for group I, and 71%±18 for group II. Vital capacity (VC) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) in group I remained unchanged. In group II, VC improved for 11%, while forced expiratory volume (FEV) improved for 13.6%. Our conclusion is that there is a significant correlation between the percentage of achieved correction and pulmonary function.
The relationship between trunk and spine deformity has yet not been well defined. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between clinical (contourometric) and radiographic methods ...of scoliotic deformity evaluation. Our second objective was to create mathematical formulas for calculating radiographic parameters based on defined correlations of multiple parameters. We did a study of 136 preoperatively analysed patients with idiopathic scoliosis. Altogether, 189 lateral curvatures were assessed. Based on Lenke’s classification, curves were divided into three groups: a thoracic, a thoracolumbar and a lumbar curve group. Each group was analyzed separately to determine relationships between clinical contourometric (scoliometer value, humpometer values) and radiographic measurement (apical vertebral rotation (AVR) according to Drerup). On the grounds of statistically significant correlation coefficients of most clinical parameters and Drerup rotation we found good relationships between trunk and spine deformity. Using the best correlated clinical parameters and multiple regression statistical analysis we created mathematical formulas for prediction of scoliotic AVR in higher degree curves.
