Brief summary

Percutaneous Trans-facet Fixation Massoud-Goel Technique and Theory for Treatment of Degenerative Spine

Detailed description

Massoud-Goel' as rationale treatment for treatment spinal degeneration affected spinal segments using trans-articular screws, without physically distracting the facets, or removal of any part of the bone or ligament. Following fixing of the segment, all the secondary phenomenon reverse, effectively increasing the canal size and reversing the effects of spinal degeneration and spinal canal stenosis. Stabilizes the region and provides an environment for resorption of the herniated disc and ultimate arthrodesis of the spinal segments.

1. Cauda equine syndrome 2. Progressive motor weakness 3. Failed damage control method 4. Spondylolisthesis, Spondyolysis.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain relief3 monthsRelief of pain from neuralgia (sciatica & brachialgia) also claudication pain assessment by visual analogue scale 1-10

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Functional recovery3 monthsfunctional improvement postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include functional recovery (Oswestry Disability Index score)
Less complications1 yearfusion rates (CT scan), and complication rates, assessing both efficacy and safety. Additional measures like hospital stay duration and patient satisfaction provide insights into procedural efficiency and patient-reported outcomes.
Spinal stability6 monthsBy CT spine we can assess facet fusion, stabilization of spine segmental instability
Neurological decompression indirectly6 monthsEarly by position of patients intraoperative and stabilization, late by healing of pathological state of ligament flavum hypertrophic changes, disc degeneration, spinal canal stenosis by Magnetic resonance imaging follow-up
