A recent study has established a direct correlation between the number of spinal surgeries a surgeon has performed and the occurrence of complications. Very clear conclusion: The more interventions the surgeon performs on average, the lower the complication rate and the lower the costs for the healthcare system.
A year ago, rower Matthias Schömann-Finck beamed with his three sports colleagues: world championship gold medal in coxless four. The culmination of a sports career that was suddenly interrupted: the athlete from RV Saarbrücken had to do without the highlights of the season this year due to severe back pain - a severe herniated disc in the last disc floor.
She is 26 years old, 164 centimeters short and likes to race down snow-covered mountains at more than 100 kilometers per hour: Alexandra Coletti , professional skier from Monaco, her country's flag bearer at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, likes it fast. The numerous falls showed that the slopes in international competitions are not always harmless, even for top skiers.
A recent study was able to show that football players from the US national team who suffer from a herniated disc in the cervical spine benefit significantly from surgical treatment.
