Description
An account of the resource
Study Design. A description of a method for standardizing the nomenclature used in reporting the size and location of lesions in the lumbar or thoracic spine is presented. Objectives. To make the reporting of findings on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging scans simpler and more accurate. Summary of Background Data. Over the past 10 years, three other systems have been proposed, and parts of each have been incorporated in this system. Methods. This is a multicenter report. A group of 12 prominent physicians, including radiologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and physiatrists, at 11 centers collaborated in the formulation of this system. Results. In this system, areas in the axial plane, i.e., medial to lateral, are called ''zones,'' and in the cuadocranial direction, they are called ''levels.'' The zones are the central canal zone, the subarticular zone, the foraminal zone, and the extraforaminal zone. In the caudocranial direction, the levels from above downward are the suprapedicle level, the pedicle level, the infrapedicle level, and the disc level. The size of a lesion can be rated by the descriptive words normal, mild, moderate, moderately severe, and severe, or by the numbers 1 to 5, with the number 1 indicating normal and the number 5 indicating severe. Conclusions. The authors of the present study believe that all health care professionals who care for the spine will find this nomenclature valuable in communicating with each other, in writing medical reports, in presenting reports at meetings, or in writing scientific articles.

Description
An account of the resource
Study Design. A description of the technique for lumbar microdecompression and a prospective study of the outcomes. Objective. To describe and analyze a technique that affords an excellent decompression while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Summary of Background Data. Commonly used techniques of lumbar decompression that include bilateral takedown of paraspinal musculature and aggressive bony resection can result in significant iatrogenic sequelae. A less destructive alternative is needed. Methods. Unilateral limited takedown of multifidus was undertaken, and ipsilateral decompression performed. The contralateral side then was addressed under the midline structures with microscopic visualization-thereby preserving the supra-/interspinous ligament complex and the contralateral musculature. Thirty consecutive patients undergoing the procedure were analyzed prospectively and after a follow-up period by independent observers using a modified validated functional outcome score and patient satisfaction measures. Results. The technique affords an excellent decompression while minimizing destruction to tissues not directly involved in the pathologic process. Functional outcome scores doubled, and 87% of patients reported high satisfaction rates. Conclusions. Lumbar microdecompression is a minimally invasive technique that appears to provide excellent functional outcomes.

Description
An account of the resource
Patients with symptomatic L-5 nerve root compression and associated lytic spondylolisthesis are commonly treated by bilateral wide posterior decompression and concomitant fusion, often accompanied by transpedicular instrumentation. More limited surgery aimed solely at the relief of nerve root compression offers the potential for significant relief of radicular pain while avoiding iatrogenic instability, thereby alleviating the need for arthrodesis with its increased surgical morbidity. Nine patients with unilateral radicular symptoms referable to the L-5 nerve root, minimal back pain, and a lytic pars lesion with mild spondylolisthesis underwent unilateral microdecompression on their symptomatic side without associated fusion. All patients obtained relief of radicular pain at both short- and long-term follow-up examination. One patient demonstrated increased back pain and, accordingly, the procedure is now recommended only for patients with no greater than a 25% spondylolisthesis. Unilateral microdecompression without stabilization is an effective and safe method for relieving radicular pain in patients with a lytic pars defect, a mild spondylolisthesis, and minimal back pain. This therapeutic option should be considered in select cases as an alternative to bilateral wide decompression with fusion and instrumentation.

Description
An account of the resource
Low back pain (LBP) is a significant public health problem that frequently restricts patient activity and boosts health care costs. LBP is also a vexing clinical problem. Although it is usually associated with specific work and social factors, in most cases the precise cause of pain cannot be determined. As a result, approaches to diagnosis and treatment are often ill-defined and inconsistent. A clear strategy for diagnosis of commonly seen LBP problems can lead to more effective initial treatment and referrals. This strategy places LBP problems in 1 of 4 general diagnostic categories: disk herniations, spinal canal stenosis, diskogenic LBP, or severe nonmechanical LBP Specific initial treatment and referral recommendations are made for each category.

STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective review was completed on 21 patients who had a "least invasive" (one or two level) microdecompression and uninstrumented single-segment lumbar fusion for spinal canal stenosis with degenerative spondylolisthesis. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a "least invasive" approach to lumbar spinal canal stenosis and degenerative spondylolisthesis would yield acceptable results. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: The prevailing surgical technique for symptomatic spinal canal stenosis with degenerative spondylolisthesis is a wide midline decompression and instrumented fusion. METHODS: On an average of 38 months postoperatively, 21 patients were personally assessed on four scores: 1) their overall satisfaction with the outcome of surgery, 2) an analog back and leg pain scale, 3) a functional evaluation scale, and 4) Ferguson (upshot) anterior-posterior lumbosacral and lateral flexion-extension radiographs. RESULTS: The overall satisfactory outcome on all four scales was 16 (76%) of 21. Twenty of twenty-one patients had relief of their claudicant leg pain; the overall fusion rate was 18 (86%) of 21. Two of three patients with a pseudarthrosis had a successful outcome on the patient-oriented outcome (1, 2, and 3) scales (excluding the radiograph scale), and one was a failure. One patient with a solid fusion was a failure because of continuing back pain. One patient with a solid fusion was a failure because of continuing leg pain. The overall satisfactory outcome on the nonradiographic scales was 18 of 21, for an 86% patient satisfaction rate. CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, a "least invasive" surgical approach to lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis with spinal canal stenosis causing claudicant leg pain produced acceptable results.

Description
An account of the resource
This paper is based on a review, analysis, and discussion of the extensive literature on indications, technique, and complications of discectomy (macro and micro) for lumbar disc herniation. Outcomes for lumbar discectomy for disc herniation depend on patient selection. Short-term results of discectomy are excellent when there is agreement between the clinical presentation and imaging studies. Long-term results of surgery are only slightly better than conservative measures and the natural history of a lumbar disc herniation. A review of the literature reveals success rates for lumbar discectomy ranging from 80-96%. The outcome of lumbar discectomy does not appear to be affected by the use of a microscope and depends more on patient selection than on surgical technique.

The limited soft-tissue envelope technique for an uninstrumented single-level posterolateral lumbar fusion has been studied in a group of 23 patients. It resulted in a solid fusion in 21 of 23 (91%) patients. Overall, 18 of 23 (78%) patients had a satisfactory outcome to this fusion technique, which can be performed in any community-based hospital.
