Rapid (enhanced) recovery for fusion surgery in the degenerative spine: Clinical outcomes in 100 consecutive patients with a minimum 1-year follow-up Open
Introduction: Spinal surgical procedures became very frequent in the last decades with fusion techniques being widely used for several indications. Many of these surgeries imply a significant tissue disruption and muscle atrophy with subse…

Can screening for degenerative cervical myelopathy (SCREEN-DCM) be effectively undertaken based on signs, symptoms and known risk factors? Rationale and research protocol for a prospective, multicentre, observational study Open
Introduction Degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of spinal cord impairment. Unfortunately, the condition remains poorly recognised and underdiagnosed. To better identify patients, screening tests that target ind…
