    • Adjacent Disc Degeneration After Lumbar Total Disc Replacement or Non-operative Treatment: A Randomized Study With Eight-year Follow-up 

      Furunes, Håvard; Hellum, Christian; Espeland, Ansgar; Brox, Jens Ivar; Småstuen, Milada C; Berg, Linda; Storheim, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-15)
      <p><i>Study Design</i>: A randomized controlled multicenter trial with 8-year follow-up.</p> <p><i>Objective</i>: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term development of adjacent disc degeneration (ADD) after lumbar total disc replacement (TDR) or nonoperative treatment, and to analyze the association between ADD development and clinical outcome.</p> <p><i>Summary of Background ...

    • Facet arthropathy evaluation: CT or MRI? 

      Berg, Linda; Thoresen, Hanne; Neckelmann, Gesche F; Furunes, Håvard; Hellum, Christian; Espeland, Ansgar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-22)
      <i>Objective</i> - To assess the reliability of lumbar facet arthropathy evaluation with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with and without lumbar disc prosthesis and to estimate the reliability for individual CT and MRI findings indicating facet arthropathy.<p> <p><i>Methods</i> - Metal-artifact reducing CT and MRI protocols were performed at follow-up of ...

    • Fat in the lumbar multifidus muscles - predictive value and change following disc prosthesis surgery and multidisciplinary rehabilitation in patients with chronic low back pain and degenerative disc: 2-year follow-up of a randomized trial 

      Storheim, Kjersti; Berg, Linda; Hellum, Christian; Gjertsen, Øivind; Neckelmann, Gesche F; Espeland, Ansgar; Keller, Anne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-04)
      Background: <br> Evidence is lacking on whether fat infiltration in the multifidus muscles affects outcomes after total disc replacement (TDR) surgery and if it develops after surgery. The aims of this study were 1) to investigate whether pre-treatment multifidus muscle fat infiltration predicts outcome 2 years after treatment with TDR surgery or multidisciplinary rehabilitation, and 2) to compare ...

    • Lumbar total disc replacement: predictors for long-term outcome 

      Furunes, Håvard; Hellum, Christian; Brox, Jens Ivar; Rossvoll, Ivar; Espeland, Ansgar; Berg, Linda; Brøgger, Helga Maria; Småstuen, Milada C; Storheim, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-04)
      Purpose: We aimed to identify patient characteristics associated with favourable long-term outcomes after lumbar total disc replacement (TDR). <br>Methods: We analysed a cohort of 82 patients with degenerative disc and chronic low back pain (LBP) who were treatedwith TDR and originally participated in a randomised trial comparing TDR and multidisciplinary rehabilitation. Potential predictors were ...
