A Study of Low Back Pain Land Carriage Workers from Questionnaire.

Orthopedics & Traumatology (1991)

Shintaro Toh H. Oda Toshihiko Taguchi Kou Tanekubo Tosikastu Tominaga

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relation between the low back pain and the circumstance of load carriage workers in Yamaguch prefecture from a questionnaire. It comprised 994 persons (849 men and 145 women) in the following three basic occupations: office worker, truck driver and luggage lifter. The 55.2% of office workers, 80.9% of truck drivers and 78.4% of luggage lifters had experienced low back pain. In this study, the percentage of men who had low back pain was 24.3% among office worker, 56.8% among truck driver and 50.0% among luggage lifter. The workers who treat the heavy load complain their low back pain in higher rate than those who don't treat it. Our data indicates that the incidence of low back pain become high in three basic occupations in comparison with the past data.

A clinical study on evaluation of spasticity and voluntary motor function in spinal spasticity. Study by Cybex. II.

Orthopedics & Traumatology (1990)

Toshikatsu Tominaga Shinya Kawai Kouzou Sunago Katsumi Nakamura Kou Tanekubo

The purpose of this paper is an introduction of the method of quantitative evaluation of spasticity and voluntary motor function of the lower limbs in spinal spasticity, using the Cybex-II. We studied 10 cases of normal subjects and 20 cases of spinal Spasticity. We could analyse the torque-curves and the evoked muscle action potential-curves which were measured by Cybex-II and surface electromyograms by means of personal computer 9801.We considered that the quantitative evaluation of spasticity and voluntary movement in spinal spasticity might be possible.

Follow-up Study of Total Hip Arthroplasty for Hip Osteoarthrosis.

Orthopedics & Traumatology (1993)

Fujio Kawakami Kenji Kido Shinya Kawai Kou Tanekubo Atsuhiko Wakisaka

Post-operative short and long term results of total hip arthroplasty for patients with hip osteoarthrosis were studied. Fifty-six patients, 61 hips with follow-up periods ranging from more than 2 years to 15 years, were clinically and radiologically evaluated. 26 hips had Charnley THAs for more than 5years postoperatively and 23 hips had Harris cementless THAs for 2 to 5years.Overall results were almost satisfactory. In the more than 10 years postoperative Charnley hips 55% had appearent socket loosening, but no case had stem loosening. In the Harris cementless THA series, one case already showed stem sinking.Advanced socket loosening may lead to hip pain, restricted motion, limp, and ADL disabilities.

A clinical study of measurement of the spinal cord in cervical spondylotic myelopathy by CT-myelography.

Orthopedics & Traumatology (1989)

Masayuki Urano Kazunari Tsue Kou Tanekubo Takashi Itoh Yutaka Itoh

A clinical study of computed tomographic myelography with metrizamide was performed in 41 patients operated for cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Anteroposterior (AP) diameter and area of the spinal cord were measured at intervertebral levels. The correlation between these factors and clinical symptoms and surgical results were examined. Results were as follows: 1) AP diameter and area of the spinal cord at the most severely affected level were less than 5mm and 55mm2 deformity and the severity of symptoms; and 3) There was no good correlation between the degree of cord deformity and recovery of symptoms after surgery.

A Comparative Study of Lumbar Lateral Recess Morphometry for CT-Myelography between Lumbar Canal Stenosis (Lateral Stenosis Type) and Lumbar Disc Herniation

Orthopedics & Traumatology (1988)

Masayuki Urano Kazunari Tsue Kou Tanekubo Takashi Itoh Tetsuro Kishimoto

Thirty patients with surgically proved lumbar disc herniation and 25 with surgically proved LCS (lateral stenosis type) were studied retrospectively. Lumbar lateral recess morphometry (depth of the lateral recess, interfacetal diameter and interpedicular diameter) for CT-Myelography (CTM) was performed at the levels of L3/4, L4/5 and L5/S. In the patients with LCS, depth of the lateral recess is narrow, which may tend to result in an entrapment of the nerve root at the peripheral portion of the canal and lateral recess. Also degeneration and hypertrophy of a superior articular facet may tend to progress with aging.

The results of arthroscopic surgery(shaving of ulcerated articular cartilage) for osteoarthritis of knee joints.

Orthopedics & Traumatology (1989)

Kou Tanekubo Kazunari Tsue Masayuki Urano Takashi Itoh Yutaka Itoh

The subjects were 18 cases (21 knee joints) of osteoarthritis in our clinic between 1986 and 1987. Age at surgery ranged from 37 to 73, with an average of 56 years old. Surgical technique was mainly shaving of ulcerated articular cartilage. After surgery, pain and hydrops were improved in many cases, but radiographically, in 7 cases (33.3%), progress of osteoarthitis was observed.

Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Orthopedics & Traumatology (1992)

Akira Matsuoka Kenji Kido Katsumi Nakamura Kozo Nomura Kou Tanekubo

From 1983 to 1991, 158 primary total knee arthroplasties were performed and secondary surgery had been done in fourteen knees in thirteen patients. Nine patients had rheumatoid arthritis and four had osteoarthritis. The reasons were infection in four joints, dislocation of the patella in three joints, loosening in four joints and abnormal sound, femoral fracture, metarosis in each one joint.

Electrophysiological and Histological Investigation of Spinal Cord Injury following Experimental Spinal Cord Traction.

Orthopedics & Traumatology (1992)

Katsuyuki Fukahori Toshikatsu Tominaga Hirotsugu Oda Tadaaki Hashida Kou Tanekubo

An experimental study was carried out on the electrophysiology and histology of spinal cord traction. In 5 kittins and 12 adult cats, spinal cord traction impairment was created by gradual lumbosacral cord traction. The spinal cord vulnerability was different in the kitten compaied, to the adult cat.
