452 Dailey, Andrew T.Guidelines for the performance of fusion procedures for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Part 17: bone growth stimulators and lumbar fusionTreatment Standards. There is insufficient evidence to recommend a treatment standard. Treatment Guidelines. Either DCS or CCS is recommended as an adjunct to spinal fusion to increase fusion rates in patients who are at high risk for arthrodesis failure following lumbar PLF. Pulsed electromagnetic...Fusion procedures; Degenerative disease; Lumbar spine; Lumbar fusion; Bone growth stimulators; Electrical stimulation devices2005
453 Dailey, Andrew T.Guidelines for the performance of fusion procedures for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Part 1: introduction and methodologyAs scientific understanding of the pathophysiology of degenerative disease of the lumbar spine has increased, the possibilities for correcting the underlying problem and the resulting improvement in clinical function have expanded exponentially. Fueled by advances in material technology and surgica...Lumbar fusion; Lumbar spine; Degenerative disease; Practice guidelines2005
454 Dailey, Andrew T.Guidelines for the performance of fusion procedures for degenerative disease of the lumbar spine. Part 2: assessment of functional outcomeStandards. It is recommended that functional outcome be measured in patients treated for low-back pain due to degenerative disease of the lumbar spine by using reliable, valid, and responsive scales. Examples of these scales in the low-back pain population include the following: The Spinal Stenosi...Lumbar fusion; Lumbar spine; Degenerative disease; Practice guidelines; Treatment outcome; Functional outcome2005

465 Couldwell, William T.Hearing restoration after resection of an intracanalicular vestibular schwannoma: a role for emergency surgery?Patients with vestibular schwannomas (VSs) most commonly present with sensorineural hearing loss, which is often insidious or gradual. Up to 26% of patients may present with sudden hearing loss, however, which poses an important surgical challenge. Sudden hearing loss has been attributed to spasm or...Vestibular schwannoma; Hearing preservation2002
