79 year old gentleman presented with Right sciatica for 6 months. Despite trying medications and spinal injections his ability to walk was markedly limited. His MRI demonstrates spinal stenosis particularly at the L4 L5 disk level and slippage of the vertebral bones (spondylolisthesis). He underwent a TLIF a procedure to take the pressure off of the nerves and correct the slipped vertebra. A “cage” is placed in the disk space to allow fusion. He was discharged the day after the procedure.

Interesting article which shows that cortisone shots, such as epidural and facet joint injections, do not increase a patient’s risk of fracture even in patients with osteoporosis.

We are often asked by patients if it is safe to have spinal injections if they have osteoporosis. This study may help to answer that question.

Here is a recent case involving a patient who experienced a year of significant neck pain, accompanied by radiating discomfort in both arms and hands. An MRI revealed substantial collapse in the disc spaces, leading to compression of the nerve exit points in the spine and subsequent radiation of pain to the extremities.

The patient underwent surgery utilizing the standard anterior approach, during which the degenerated discs were excised and replaced with spacers to restore disc height and alleviate nerve compression. A thin plate was then positioned and secured over the affected disc spaces to facilitate immobilization and promote healing. Following the procedure, the patient experienced complete relief from arm pain, which had persisted for a year prior to surgery.
