- Interventional pain management physicians (IPMPs) and spine surgeons are allies in treating spinal disorders. In addition to medical management, IPMPs can perform procedures such as epidural injections, rhizotomies, or kyphoplasties to bring relief to patients. However, some IPMPs perform procedures traditionally performed by spine surgeons, such as minimally invasive spine surgery, neural decompression, and spinal fusion. The line between spine procedures performed by spine surgeons and interventional pain management procedures performed by IPMPs has blurred. This study aimed to determine the incidence of IPMPs performing interventional spinal procedures traditionally performed by spine surgeons. - Source: PubMed

Alemán-Iñiguez Juan MAlemán-Iñiguez Pedro JGuzman Ordaz Francisco JChico Ponce de León FernandoCastro Canto Jackeline - Cervical spondylosis affects 5%-20% of the population and is commonly managed with posterior decompression. However, early studies of laminectomy without fusion revealed a significant risk of postoperative kyphosis, leading to the adoption of laminectomy with posterior fixation or laminoplasty as the standard of care. The aim of this study was to assess whether posterior decompression performed via a uniportal full endoscopic approach can achieve adequate decompression of the cervical spinal cord while preserving postoperative alignment. - Source: PubMed

Cho Steve SHwang Yoon HaMadi MohammedHeo Dong HwaKim Hyeun Sung - Patient expectations significantly influence perceived success and satisfaction following spine surgery. While objective metrics assess outcomes, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are the gold standard for evaluating subjective outcomes and health-related quality of life. Recent studies highlight the complex relationship between preoperative expectations and postoperative satisfaction in spine surgeries. However, the impact of preoperative expectations on PROs for lumbar decompression remains unexplored. The objective of this study was to examine how preoperative expectations influence postoperative satisfaction following lumbar decompression surgery. - Source: PubMed

Edalati KiumarsBansal AiyushNguyen Kenneth TJeffko MichaelWilson PaulLipson PatriciaSaifi ComronLouie Philip K - BackgroundLipedema is a chronic, progressive adipose tissue disorder affecting mainly women, characterized by bilateral, disproportionate fat accumulation in the lower extremities. The condition is often associated with pain, heaviness, and functional limitations. While the adipose tissue changes in lipedema are well-described, its impact on muscle mass, strength, and functional performance remains underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sarcopenia and its relationship with lipedema severity.Materials and methodsA cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 48 women with clinically diagnosed lower-extremity lipedema. Diagnosis followed the International Lipoedema Association and German S2k guidelines. Sarcopenia was assessed using a multidimensional approach, including ultrasonographic rectus femoris thickness, handgrip strength, the Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test, and four-m walking speed. The lipedema stage was determined using morphological criteria. Statistical analyses evaluated the relationships between sarcopenia, functional parameters, and lipedema stage.ResultsParticipants had a mean age of 47.2 ± 8.4 years and a BMI of 33.0 ± 4.3 kg/m. Sarcopenia was identified in 33.3% of participants, with 14.6% classified as severe. Those with sarcopenia exhibited lower rectus femoris thickness and slower walking speed ( < .05). Advancing lipedema stage correlated with reduced muscle thickness, weaker handgrip strength, slower gait, and prolonged Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test duration ( < .05). Stage 3 patients demonstrated the highest prevalence of sarcopenia, indicating progressive impairment in muscle mass and functional performance with disease severity ( < .05). No significant associations were found between age or BMI and muscle parameters ( > .05).ConclusionsSarcopenia is prevalent in women with lower-extremity lipedema and increases with disease stage. Comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment should be integrated into lipedema management to address functional impairment and optimize patient care. - Source: PubMed
