Orthopaedics: Spinal
Stenosis. The University of Maryland Medical Center will present a live
webcast of lumbar decompression and spinal fusion surgery at 5:30 pm
EDT (2130 UTC). The surgery will be performed to treat spinal stenosis,
a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on nerves in the
back, and a related condition involving slippage of the vertebrae known
as spondylolisthesis. Both conditions cause pain and weakness in the
lower back and legs, and many patients have difficulty in walking. View Webcast
