Redecompression and fusion in failed back syndrome patients.
Between 1979-1985, 45 patients underwent redecompression, neural exploration, and lateral mass fusion for failed back syndrome. Average follow-up was 29.2 months. Of the 45 patients, 47% had good results, 22% fair and 31% poor. Those factors that were found to correlate with a poor result were Workers' Compensation cases, less than six months pain free interval from the previous operation, male sex, history of psychiatric illness, and predominant diagnosis of perineural fibrosis. Our findings show that with meticulous surgical technique and careful selection of patients, a better than satisfactory outcome can be expected in the patient suffering from failed back syndrome.
Avascular nonunion of a subtrochanteric femur fracture with formation of a heterotopic bone strut. A case report.
Comminuted, subtrochanteric fractures of the femur are a complex and challenging form of skeletal injury. Reconstruction and fixation are technically demanding, and fracture nonunion is a known complication of both surgical and closed treatment. A case of an avascular nonunion in a subtrochanteric femur fracture with an interesting resolution is reported.
