Is Closed-Suction Drainage Essential after Minimally Invasive Lumbar Fusion Surgery?: A Retrospective Review of 381 Cases [PDF]
Objective Closed suction drains have been widely used after lumbar fusion surgeries but with controversial evidence. The recent advances in the minimally invasive spine surgeries (MIS) lead to smaller dead space, lesser blood loss and fewer infections ...

From Stoop to Squat: A comprehensive analysis of lumbar loading among different lifting styles [PDF]
Lifting up objects from the floor has been identified as a risk factor for low back pain, whereby a flexed spine during lifting is often associated with producing higher loads in the lumbar spine. Even though recent biomechanical studies challenge these assumptions, conclusive evidence is still lacking.

Parametric study of lumbar belts in the case of low back pain: effect of patients' specific characteristics [PDF]
Objective: A numerical 3D model of the human trunk was developed to study the biomechanical effects of lumbar belts used to treat low back pain. Methods: This model was taken from trunk radiographies of a person and simplified so as to make a parametric study by varying morphological parameters of the patient, characteristic parameters of the lumbar ...
