Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Persistent or recurrent lumbar pain is a common post-surgical complication after vertebral procedures.
  • Multiple factors can contribute to these symptoms following decompression or spinal fusion surgeries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a diagnostic algorithm for evaluating post-vertebral surgery lumbar pain.
  • To emphasize the role of timing in symptom occurrence for accurate diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a clinical diagnostic algorithm based on symptom onset time.
  • Utilization of advanced radiodiagnostic techniques for patient evaluation.

Main Results:

  • The diagnostic algorithm facilitates more rapid and accurate identification of pain causes.
  • Modern radiodiagnostic methods enhance preoperative and postoperative diagnosis.

Conclusions:

  • A time-based diagnostic algorithm is effective for managing post-vertebral surgery lumbar pain.
  • Advanced imaging is crucial for diagnosing pathologies causing persistent or recurrent pain.
