Outcome of early versus late primary embolization in ruptured brain arteriovenous malformations Open
Purpose To determine whether patients with a ruptured brain arteriovenous malformation (rBAVM) would benefit from an early embolization. Methods rBAVM treated first by embolization between March 2002 and May 2022 were included. Embolizatio…

Post-lumbar discectomy reoperations that are associated with poor clinical and socioeconomic outcomes can be reduced through use of a novel annular closure device: results from a 2-year randomized controlled trial Open
Post-discectomy reoperation is associated with significantly increased patient morbidity, missed work, and direct treatment costs in a population at high risk for reherniation. Annular closure helped minimize this clinical and socioeconomi…

Annular closure in lumbar microdiscectomy for prevention of reherniation: a randomized clinical trial Open
In patients at high risk of herniation recurrence after lumbar microdiscectomy, annular closure with a bone-anchored implant lowers the risk of symptomatic recurrence and reoperation. Additional study to determine outcomes beyond 2 years w…

Patients at the Highest Risk for Reherniation Following Lumbar Discectomy in a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial Open
Background: The purposes of the present study were to (1) confirm the risk of recurrent lumbar disc herniation in patients with a large anular defect who had undergone limited discectomy and (2) assess potential risk factors within this po…

A multicenter, prospective, randomized study protocol to demonstrate the superiority of a bone-anchored prosthesis for anular closure used in conjunction with limited discectomy to limited discectomy alone for primary lumbar disc herniation Open
Background: Same-level reherniation and progressive degeneration with disc height loss are main causes of poor outcome after discectomy and may necessitate reoperation. A novel prosthesis for anular closure was developed to address these c…
