Additional Decompression at Adjacent Segments Leads to Adjacent Segment Degeneration After PLIF [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 2013 Adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) is one of the major complications of lumbar fusion. Several previous retrospective studies reported ASD after PLIF. However, few reports evaluated whether decompression surgery combined with fusion surgery increases the rate of complications in adjacent segments.

Adjacent Segment Degeneration and Adjacent Segment Disease: The Consequences of Spinal Fusion?
Spine Journal, 2004Given the number of spinal fusions performed annually, concerns have mounted over the potential for adjacent segment degeneration (radiographic changes of degeneration at levels adjacent to a spinal fusion) and adjacent segment disease (development of new symptoms correlating with adjacent segment degeneration). This article reviews documented evidence

Update on the Evidence for Adjacent Segment Degeneration and Disease
Spine Journal, 2013The evidence surrounding the topic of adjacent segment degeneration and disease has increased dramatically with an abundant amount of literature discussing the incidence of and techniques to avoid it. However, this evidence is often confusing to discern because of various definitions of both adjacent segment degeneration and disease.To organize and ...

Adjacent Segment Degeneration After Single-Segment PLIF: The Risk Factor for Degeneration and Its Impact on Clinical Outcomes [PDF]
European Spine Journal, 2011 To investigate: (1) the risk factors for radiologic cranial adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after single-segment PLIF at the same level, and (2) the impact of the ASD on the clinical outcomes.From October 2004 to May 2009, 109 patients who underwent PLIF for degenerative instability at L4/5 and have more than 2 years follow-up were studied ...

ADJACENT SEGMENT DEGENERATION IN THE LUMBAR SPINE
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2004A primary concern after posterior lumbar spine arthrodesis is the potential for adjacent segment degeneration cephalad or caudad to the fusion segment. There is controversy regarding the subsequent degeneration of adjacent segments, and we are aware of no long-term studies that have analyzed both cephalad and caudad degeneration following posterior ...

Spine, 2008
The adjacent discs of 13 goats, originally used in a lumbar spinal fusion model study, were analyzed for symptoms of intervertebral disc degeneration by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), macroscopy, and histology. These goats were followed for 6 months and the results were compared with 6 control goats.To evaluate the development of adjacent ...

Operative Treatment of the Degenerated Segment Adjacent to a Lumbar Fusion
Spine, 1994Fourteen patients with a previous lumbosacral fusion underwent neural decompression and fusion of degenerated adjacent motion segment. The most common level was L3-L4, and there was an average of 3.2 (range 1-7) previous lumbosacral surgical procedures.

Risk Factors for Adjacent Segment Degeneration After PLIF
Spine, 2004A retrospective study of 87 patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) at L4-L5 for L4 degenerative spondylolisthesis.To clarify: 1) the correlation between radiologic degeneration of cranial adjacent segment and clinical results, 2) risk factors for radiologic degeneration of cranial adjacent segment, and 3) preoperative ...

Analysis of adjacent segment degeneration with laminectomy above a fused lumbar segment
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2013Although recent data suggests that lumbar fusion with decompression contributes to some marginal acceleration of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD), few studies have evaluated whether it is safe to perform a laminectomy above a fused segment. This study investigates the hypothesis that laminectomy above a fused lumbar segment does not increase the ...

Adjacent-Segment Degeneration After Lumbar Fusion with Instrumentation
Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1996Adjacent-segment degeneration is a known consequence of spinal fusion. Factors associated with this, and its effect on results, have not been well identified. This study sought to determine factors associated with adjacent-segment degeneration and the effect this degeneration has on results after lumbar fusion and instrumentation.
