Spine: Non-Fusion Spinal Reconstruction
Featuring Jens R. Chapman, M.D., and others
|
 
|
In this program, doctors discuss
motion-preserving options in spine surgery. Dr. Chapman demonstrates
indications and surgical technique of a procedure referred to as
“laminaplasty” for patients who require decompression of their spinal
cord due to severe cervical spinal stenosis. This technique, first
introduced in Japan approximately 20 years ago, allows for effective
spinal canal expansion and indirect spinal cord decompression. In his
lecture on disc arthroplasty, Dr. Dailey reviews the current state of
knowledge on mechanical disc replacements and critically reflects on
their limitations. Ultimately, regeneration of impaired cartilage, such
as in the human disc and on joint surfaces, remains the elusive goal to
date.
