Biochemical measurement of muscle injury created by lumbar surgery.
Abstract
PURPOSES: 1. To determine whether lumbar disc surgery (LS) provides a sufficiently detectable rise in serum creatine kinase (CK) concentration to serve as a model to study biochemical measurement of muscle injury, and 2. To use the model to examine the consistency of the time course of CK concentration changes.
METHOD: The study used a repeated measures design. Six women and six men scheduled for LS were recruited. Blood samples were taken in …
