A Clinical Case of Surgical Treatment of the Adjacent Segment of the Spine during Fusion [PDF]
Every year, the number of operations on the lumbar spine with the use of various spinal fusion techniques increases, which leads to an increase in the number of cases in the long-term period of surgical treatment, the formation of pathology of the ...

Adjacent Segment Infection after Lumbar Fusion: A Case Report and the Literature Review
Introduction. Adjacent segment infective spondylodiscitis is a rare type of surgical spinal infection after lumbar fusion with few reports. We report a further case of adjacent segment infection after three-level lumbar fusion managed successfully with ...

Dome Laminotomies at Adjacent Segments in Cervical Laminoplasty [PDF]
Cervical laminoplasty is an established and effective surgical treatment for neurologic dysfunction associated with cervical myelopathy. "Dome laminotomies" involve undercutting the laminae adjacent to the laminoplasty levels to decompress and prevent spinal cord kinking on the lamina edges.

Effects of different severities of disc degeneration on the range of motion of cervical spine
Aims and Objectives: The human spine degenerates with age. Intervertebral disc degeneration occurs in the cervical spine. The objective of this study is to determine the effects of degenerative disc diseases on the range of motion (ROM) of the human ...

Influence of Spinal Deformity Construct Design on Adjacent-Segment Biomechanics
BACKGROUND: Adjacent level degeneration is a precursor to construct failure in adult spinal deformity surgery, but whether construct design affects adjacent level degeneration risk remains unclear.

Groups of Adjacent Contour Segments for Object Detection [PDF]
We present a family of scale-invariant local shape features formed by chains of k connected, roughly straight contour segments (kAS), and their use for object class detection. kAS are able to cleanly encode pure fragments of an object boundary, without including nearby clutter.
