Treatments A neurosurgical spine specialty center treats problems related to nervous tissue issues of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbosacral spine. PATIENTS The patients seen in the spine specialty center typically present with back pain (with or without leg pain), but also can present with weakness of one or more extremity (arm, leg), and sometimes even with spasticity. Back p ain Para- or quadri-plegia Patients with a spine problem can have weakness below the level of spinal cord affected. Spasticity PHYSIOLOGY Central (spinal cord) and peripheral (nerve roots) nervous system tissue can be injured by pressure and pulling due to abnormalities of the bony anatomy of the vertebral column. Radiculopathy Radiculopathy is a problem with one of the spinal nerve roots. Compression of a nerve root at the neural foramen is a frequent cause of radiculopathy and indication for surgery. Myelopathy Myelopathy is a problem with the spinal cord.

Because they are present at birth, they are usually diagnosed at birth or in early childhood. Dysraphic states (incomplete fusion of the spinal cord) may present themselves in childhood with symptoms such as trouble with bladder control or clubbed feet. Most of these disorders are treated with surgery. Myelomeningocela requires surgery at birth, and hydrocephalis requires inserting a shunt. At St.Vincent, neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons work as a team with pediatric specialists to diagnose and treat these disorders.

Extractions: Prolotherapy Referral Network PROLOTHERAPY AND SPINE DISEASE JAY W. NIELSEN, M.D. The orthopedic surgeons' reliance and emphasis on x-ray procedures and surgery by nature makes him think of the spine as a focally or regionally injured organ. Actually, it's rare for a spine injured by sudden deceleration in an auto accident, lift or fall to receive its injury in one area. The x-ray changes suggesting that simply show the peak of injury, not the breadth. The patient frequently senses this better than the surgeon as he/she notes pain in remote areas where x-rays appear normal. The Prolotherapist like the Chiropractor and Osteopath sees the spine as an integral functioning unit with varying degrees of injury. The surgeon during informed consent cautions the patient that surgical fusion at one level may cause the adjacent disc space to degenerate. This is because the ligaments in the next segment are already injured and will now be put under even more movement and stress. When a patient undergoes disc removal and fusion (PILF) for leg and back pain, the surgeon cautions that he may relieve the leg pain and aggravate the back pain for leave it unchanged. This is because the surgery has done nothing or weakened the back ligaments.

http://www.aaos.org/wordhtml/anmeet93/scipro/ppr012.htm

Extractions: Bjorn Stromqvist, MD, Lund, SWEDEN In a prospective study, 47 consecutive patients aged over 70 years (range, 71-83 years) had operations for degenerative lumbar spine disorders through a three year period. Three patients suffered from disc herniation, 4 from lateral, and 40 from central spinal stenosis. No cardiopulmonary complications or deep vein thrombosis were seen. One patient with a central stenosis had a dural fistula postoperatively which closed spontaneously within one week; one patient had to be reoperated on the first postoperative day because of a hematoma causing cauda equina syndrome and improved subsequently. One patient developed a spondylitis, treated successfully with antibiotics. Within two years from surgery, two patients operated on had died from unrelated disease and two had developed cerebrovascular lesions. Among the 43 remaining patients, 34 experienced improvement from the operation and 9 were unimproved. No patients experienced deterioration. Moderator: Dan M. Spengler, MD, Nashville, TN
