osteochondritis/back pain

OBJECTIVE Low back pain after lumbar epidural anesthesia remains an important clinical problem. Possible causes of the back pain associated with epidural anaesthesia are localized trauma, aseptic periosteitis, tendonitis, inflammation of the ligaments, and osteochondritis. Lornoxicam is a new

OBJECTIVE Scheuermann's disease or deforming vertebral osteochondritis affects about 5% of the population. These patients become permanent users of rehabilitation services due to their discomfort. In periods of acute pain patients can only receive palliative and not very effective

The principal clinical features and radiological findings relating to the locomotor system have been studied in 32 consecutive hospital admissions of patients with Wilson's disease. 5 of these patients were recently diagnosed and had as yet received no treatment, while 27 were routine admissions for

Unspecific back pain is a common phenomenon. Imaging often shows no clear cause for the genesis of back pain and generally has no impact on the therapeutic procedure. In contrast specific back pain, where a morphological cause is present is more infrequent. In these cases imaging and especially

OBJECTIVE: Orthopedic problems in children and adolescents are quite frequent. For that reason, our aim was to give a remarkable insight into five selected topics: spinal deformities, osteochondritis, growing pains, back pain, and corrective shoes. METHODS: We analyzed general concepts of spinal

BACKGROUND The diagnosis of a chronic inflammatory process involving the vertebral body and disk is often very difficult because patient's history, subjective symptoms and physical findings are often unconclusive. Thus imaging techniques play a decisive role. Radiography, tomography, CT and MR have

Three hundred thirty-seven patients with neurological symptoms of lumbar osteochondritis (163 patients, mean age 40.3 +/- 0.51 years), fibromyalgia (32 patients, mean age 45.3 +/- 1.15 years), initial forms of cerebrovascular pathology (142 patients, mean age 46.8 +/- 0.56 years) and 40 healthy

Spinal osteochondrosis, previously known as Scheuermann's disease and spinal osteochondritis, is common and is probably becoming increasingly prevalent. Its incidence in patients whose primary complaint was of backache was shown to be twice as great as that in the general population. There was also

Injuries can counter the beneficial effects of sports participation at a young age if a child or adolescent is unable to continue to participate because of residual effects of injury. This paper reviews current knowledge in the field of long-term health outcomes of youth sports injuries to evaluate
