Clinical Evaluation and Management of Spine Deformity

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a presentation where the speaker discusses two cases involving patients with low back pain and sciatica. In the first case, a 59-year-old woman with mechanical low back pain and leg pain presented in the clinic. The speaker reviews her imaging, which shows a small spondylolisthesis at L5-S1 and collapsed discs. The speaker suggests addressing the level causing symptoms with surgery and discusses potential options. The second case involves a 67-year-old woman with low back pain, bilateral sciatica, and failed epidural steroid injections. The speaker reviews her x-rays and MRI, noting a flat back and stenosis at multiple levels. The speaker considers the sagittal and coronal parameters and recommends a multi-level fusion with minimally invasive approaches. The speaker also discusses different types of osteotomies for achieving corrective angulation. The video concludes with the speaker opening the floor for questions. No credits were given in the video.
