Which Markers of Musculoskeletal Health Can Explain Complications in Spinal Surgery?
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Spine Injuries and Disorders
In brief
The present study is related to the project "ORTHOSPINE FITNESS: WHICH MARKERS OF MUSCULOSKELETAL HEALTH CAN EXPLAIN COMPLICATIONS IN SPINE SURGERY?", winner of the Ministry of Health Call, financed by the European Union, "M6/C2\_CALL 2023", Project Code " PNRR- MCNT2-2023-12378098", Call section "Non-chronic chronic diseases transmissible diseases (MCnT2) with a high impact on health systems". Complications of spinal surgery still represent a significant and unsolved problem. Their incidence is between 7 and 20%, with a high percentage of mechanical complications observed in patients operated on for degenerative pathologies. Readmissions, re-operations and subsequent rehabilitation treatments have a heavy impact on patients and the entire healthcare system.
