  2. TOPS System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOPS_System

    The paper "Mobility-Maintaining Arthroplasty of the Lumbar Spine with the Second-Generation TOPS System" by Werner Lack, Hans Paul Kutschera, and Josef Krugluge found that the TOPS facet replacement can relieve leg and back pain while maintaining nearly normal range-of-motion for four years without causing adjacent segment disease. The study ...

  3. Facet joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facet_joint

    The facet joints (also zygapophysial joints, zygapophyseal, apophyseal, or Z-joints) are a set of synovial, plane joints between the articular processes of two adjacent vertebrae. There are two facet joints in each spinal motion segment and each facet joint is innervated by the recurrent meningeal nerves.

  4. Facet syndrome - Wikipedia

    Facet syndrome is a syndrome in which the facet joints (synovial diarthroses) cause painful symptoms. [1] In conjunction with degenerative disc disease, a distinct but functionally related condition, facet arthropathy is believed to be one of the most common causes of lower back pain. [2] [3]

  5. Minimally invasive spine surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive_spine...

    There are many spinal procedures that make use of minimally invasive techniques. They can involve cutting away tissue (), fixing adjacent vertebrae to one another (spinal fusion), and replacing bone or other tissue.The main philosophy is least bloods, tissue damage, and keep bone/tissue architecture The name of the procedure often includes the region of the spine that is operated on, including ...

  6. Spondylosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spondylosis

    CT scan is helpful to see small bony elements of the spine such as facet joint and to determine whether there is osteoporosis of the spine. However, interverterbral foramen and ligaments are not well visualised on the CT. Therefore, contrast is injected into the spinal canal via lumbar puncture and then imaged using CT scan (known as CT ...

  7. Artificial facet replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_facet_replacement

    An artificial facet replacement is a joint prosthesis intended to replace the natural facets and other posterior elements of the spine, restoring normal (or near-normal) motion while providing stabilization of spinal segments. It is typically used as an adjunct to laminectomy, laminotomy, neural decompression, and facetectomy, in lieu of ...

  8. Vertebral fixation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebral_fixation

    Vertebral fixation (also known as "spinal fixation") is an orthopedic surgical procedure in which two or more vertebrae are anchored to each other through a synthetic "vertebral fixation device", with the aim of reducing vertebral mobility and thus avoiding possible damage to the spinal cord and/or spinal roots.

    On an anterior oblique radiograph of the lumbar spine, the pars is the neck of the imaginary Scottie dog; the Scottie dog's eye is the pedicle, [3] its hindlegs the spinous process, its nose the transverse process, its ear the superior articular facet and its forelegs the inferior articular facet.
