[An alternative treatment strategy in lumbar intervertebral disk damage using an SB Charité modular type intervertebral disk endoprosthesis].

At the Department of Orthopedics, Humboldt University School of Medicine, Charité Hospital, the three-piece disk endoprosthesis SB Charité of the modular type, which works according to the low-friction principle, has been developed combining the advantages of a beneficial effect on the patient's complaints by simultaneous distraction in the vertebral segment, and of achieving movement within the physiological range. So far, this disk endoprosthesis consisting of two cover plates made of implantat steel or titanium sheet, which are fixed without cement, as well as a moveable polyethylene sliding core being vertically adjustable, has been implanted in sixteen patients. The therapeutic results show that it is possible with this method to replace the nucleus pulposus, thus providing, in addition to conventional nucleotomy and segment fusion, another therapeutic alternative for lumbar disk lesions.

Noninvasive diagnosis of cruciate ligament damage with particular reference to computed tomography with arthrography.

Computed tomography (CT) with arthrography, a method not requiring anesthesia, has worked well in cruciate ligament damage diagnosis, particularly in the detection of PCL damage and in differentiation between ACL and PCL lesions. Evidence has been produced of its superior accuracy by comparison, in the study of 40 patients, among clinical findings, findings obtained from initial radiography, and diagnostic data produced by CT alone. Reference is also made to false interpretations in the context of clinical examination and CT.
