MediSum's Neuromuscular Medicine lane is designed for scanning ALS, myasthenia gravis, neuropathy, CIDP, myopathy, muscular dystrophy, and EMG/NCS diagnostic literature. The preview below uses real PubMed-linked records when available and avoids fabricated article cards.

This systematic review (18 studies, 3,346 patients, follow-up 5.0–19.4 years) found lumbar total disc arthroplasty (TDA) produced durable improvements in pain and function with index-level revision rates ranging from 0.67% to 19.9%. Randomized trials showed TDA outcomes comparable or superior to fusion at 5–14 years, but across studies there was no clear evidence that TDA reduces surgically defined adjacent segment disease.

This 10-year population-based cohort included 132 subaxial cervical spine fractures in 127 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (median age 70; 88% male), most from low-energy falls; 94% were AO type B or C and 20% had cervical spinal cord injury. Primary management was surgical in 67% and conservative in 33% (14% of conservatively managed patients required delayed surgery); revision surgery occurred in 9% and 90-day mortality was 16%, which was associated with older age, higher ASA class, and in-hospital pneumonia but not with cord injury or treatment modality.

A meta-analysis of 17 randomized trials (n=2238) comparing full endoscopic discectomy (FED) versus microscopic discectomy (MSD) for adult lumbar disc herniation found comparable leg pain trajectories and similar operative time and length of stay. FED was associated with small improvements in 1-year back pain and 2-year ODI, reduced blood loss and faster return-to-work, and lower wound-related complications (infection, poor healing, hematoma) but greater radiation exposure; risk of bias was low-to-moderate and the authors judged the certainty of evidence moderate.
