Intraspinal metalloma resulting in late paraparesis
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer, 2005)The metal-related complications caused by orthopedic implants have long been a concern but these problems have been considered mostly in the field of arthroplasty or internal fixation of fractures. The recent prevalence of spinal instrumentation has evoked a similar concern among spine surgeons.

Myositis ossificans of psoas muscle: Magnetic resonance imaging findings
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Blackwell Munksgaard, 2004)Myositis ossificans is a benign localized self-limiting ossifying soft tissue mass with unknown pathogenesis. It may be confused with a malignant tumor of bone or soft tissues especially in the early stages of the disease. In this report we present a case of myositis ossificans affecting unilateral psoas muscle which to our knowledge is a very uncommon location. There was no history of trauma. We describe the imaging findings and clues to early diagnosis of myositis ossificans.

All but one had a double-major thoracic and lumbar curve. One had a mild scoliotic curve but severe thoracic lordosis. Anterior discectomy and fusion and posterior instrumentation was performed in a single stage in two patients while two had anterior and posterior surgery performed in two stages.

Vertebral osteomyelitis after cardiac surgery
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science Inc, 2003)Background. Mediastinitis after open-heart surgery is a serious complication that has a decreasing incidence but still a significantly high mortality rate. Back pain may develop during the course of treatment for mediastinitis and this should suggest vertebral osteomyelitis in the differential diagnosis. Diagnosis of vertebral osteomyelitis may be difficult because of the insidious onset and delayed diagnosis and treatment may result in serious neurologic compromise and even death of the patient. ...
