Lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration in low back pain
Minerva Anestesiol. 2024 Apr;90(4):330-338. doi: 10.23736/S0375-9393.24.17843-1.ABSTRACTIntervertebral disc degeneration is characterized by deterioration in structural support that is potentially followed by stimulated neuronal ingrowth, and dysfunction of cellular physiology in the disc. Discogenic low back pain originates from nociceptors within the intervertebral disc or the cartilage endplate. This narrative review examines the mechanisms of disc degeneration, the association between degeneration and pain, and the current diagnosis and treatment of discogenic low back pain. Mechanisms of disc degeneration include dysr...

Thoracolumbar fascia and chronic low back pain in idiopathic lumbar scoliosis: an ultrasonographic study
ConclusionsThickening of the TLF was observed in IS, whereby, in the presence of CLBP, it was further intensified. We suggest considering fascial thickening as a potential contributing factor to both pain and limited motion in relevant patients. (Source: European Spine Journal)

Use of General Practitioner Services Among Workers with Work-Related Low Back Pain: A Systematic Review
ConclusionOnly seven studies met the eligibility indicating a relative lack of evidence, despite the acknowledged important role that GPs play in the care of workers with low back pain. More research is needed to understand the prevalence, patterns and determinants to support effective service delivery and policy development. (Source: Journal of Occupational Rehabilitation)

'Armed kyphoplasty with posterior stabilization avoids corpectomy in complex thoracolumbar spine fractures: a case series
Conclusions
Combined AKP and PS is feasible and effective in the treatment of complex thoracolumbar fractures of all etiologies. AKP avoided highly invasive corpectomy. Anterior and posterior support ensured stability, preventing implant failure and re-fracture. The complication rate was low compared with more invasive traditional 360° open surgical approaches.

Do the management and functional outcomes of the surgically treated spinal fractures change in suicidal jumpers?
ConclusionPsychiatric disorders are more common in patients in the suicidal jumpers. The presence of underlying psychiatric problems adversely affects the postoperative functional outcomes of patients with surgically treated spinal fractures. A multidisciplinary approach together with raising awareness in this way can improve the clinical outcomes after orthopedic treatment, even if there is physical disability.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Diagnosis and Management
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Apr;109(4):350-359.ABSTRACTLumbar spinal stenosis is a clinical syndrome that affects more than 200,000 people in the United States annually. It is a common cause of chronic insidious low back pain, especially in older patient populations (mean age = 64 years). Lumbar spinal stenosis is a degenerative condition of the spine leading to narrowing in the spaces around the neurovascular bundles and the classic symptom of low back pain that radiates to the buttocks and lower extremities bilaterally. It is typically a progressive waxing and waning process that may deteriorate over years. The pain is typica...
