| Description | In the 2002-2007 period, 102 patients (65 men, average age 54 years) underwent surgery for problems due to degenerative disc disease manifested by pain, neurological findings. There were 64% of cases with disc degeneration and spinal stenosis. Patients were examined bý X-rays, MRI, neurological examination, pain and functional status by visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI). A total 146 lumbar segments were treated, the L4-5 segment in 80 cases, one level in 61, two levels in 38, three levels in 3 cases. The Dynesys - dynamic transpedicular neutralization system was used in all cases and had a good effect on the quality of life. At 36 months of follow-up the average VAS improved from preoperative value 7,3 to 4,7 and ODI from 54,5 to 39,9. |
