Case Files 21: Rady Children’s Part 5

But there are all these different angles that they mention and lines and distances. And I think the ones that are the most studied are what I talked about before, that measurements If your spinal cord hangs lower than L2, most physicians, most neurosurgeons would say it deserves looking into to see if there is a tethering that's causing it to pull down. And then the herniation.

If the Chiari drops below 5 millimeters and you put a room full of neurosurgeons, most are going to agree that that is a Chiari malformation. Then you get into all these different ones. angle measurements for how much that area is being compressed and all of that. It sounds very mathematical.

And so there is reason to believe that people are like, great, if this gives us a measurement, that makes our lives easier because if they meet that measurement, then most would agree. The thing is, it's not there yet. those measurements are not to the point, those more, the measurements that are not reviewed as much in the studies is going to be very operator dependent, very doctor dependent.

And if you look them up, the studies that have documented them are by Thomas Millerat, Paolo Bolognese, and this Masao Nishikawa. And so if they're the ones doing the studies and they're the ones doing the measurements, And if it's a certain measurement, it means they qualify for a surgery. And then that means they do the surgery.

I'm just saying it needs to be there needs to be I keep saying this word grounding, but there needs to be an objective outlier, a person who is not benefiting from all this that is doing the measurements. Because if that person is also benefiting, I mean, I'm just going to say you're human and there's going to be some, you know, inherent bias versus it being measured by an outside entity.
