Lumbar discectomy with annulus fibrosus closure: A retrospective series of 53 consecutive patients

Introduction. - Lumbar disc herniation is most common degenerative alteration of the spine. Whenever surgical therapy proves to be necessary, recurrent disc herniation is most frequent concern. Here, primary aim was to determine the percentage of patients ...

Unbiased interrogation of whole brain circuits in spinal cord injury leading to the design of a clinically relevant therapy to improve locomotion

Newton Cho

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a global problem, and despite decades of research there currently is no cure for this disease. Recently, significant advances in the use of neuroprosthetic rehabilitation to improve locomotor outcomes after SCI have been ma ...

Clinical implementation of accelerated T-2 mapping: Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging as a biomarker for annular tear and lumbar disc herniation

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Michael Weber

Objectives This study evaluates GRAPPATINI, an accelerated T-2 mapping sequence combining undersampling and model-based reconstruction to facilitate the clinical implementation of T-2 mapping of the lumbar intervertebral disc. Methods Fifty-eight individua ...

Paragangliomas of the spine: a retrospective case series in a national reference French center

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction Primary paragangliomas (PG) of the spine are extremely rare entities. The present study reviews our experience over a period of 30 years. Methods This is a retrospective, single center, observational study. Patients surgically treated for a sp ...

Locomotion and cadence detection using a single trunk-fixed accelerometer: validity for children with cerebral palsy in daily life-like conditions

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand

BACKGROUND: Physical therapy interventions for ambulatory youth with cerebral palsy (CP) often focus on activity-based strategies to promote functional mobility and participation in physical activity. The use of activity monitors validated for this populat ...

Tailoring swelling to control softening mechanisms during cyclic loading of PEG/cellulose hydrogel composites

Dominique Pioletti, Azadeh Khoushabi, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Baris Çaglar, Céline Samira Wyss

One of the novel approaches for discogenic lower back pain treatment is to permanently replace the core of the intervertebral disc, so-called Nucleus Pulposus, through minimally invasive surgery. Recently, we have proposed Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Dimethacryl ...

A photopolymerized composite hydrogel and surgical implanting tool for a nucleus pulposus replacement

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Christophe Moser, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Nucleus pulposus replacements have been subjected to highly controversial discussions over the last 40 years. Their use has not yet resulted in a positive outcome to treat herniated disc or degenerated disc disease. The main reason is that not a single imp ...

Surgical probe and implant development for nucleus pulposus replacements

Andreas Schmocker

Intervertebral disc degeneration is a major reason why we experience low back pain. Intervertebral discs are located in-between the vertebrae of the spine. They act, among other, as shock absorbers by distributing the mechanical load applied to the spine w ...

Multi-Scale Modeling Of Photopolymerization For Medical Hydrogel-Implant Design

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi, Salma Farahi

We report on the modeling of a photopolymerizable hydrogel and its application as a replacement of the interior of the intervertebral disc (so called Nucleus Pulposus). The hydrogel is initially injected in its liquid form and then photopolymerized via a s ...
