Feodor Lynen died on 6 August 1979 of complications following an operation six weeks before for the repair of an aneurism of the abdominal aorta. Until then he had been fit. The aneurism, of which he had had no symptoms, had come to light when Lynen had been in hospital for a minor operation on his hand, treatment of a Dupuytren contracture, and a general medical check before the planned operation revealed the possibility of an aneurism. A specialist confirmed the diagnosis and suggested surgical treatment. Lynen accepted the advice without hesitation because one of his elder brothers had died of a ruptured aneurism a few years earlier. Lynen’s operation took place on 25 June and was at first thought to have been successful, but complications developed and he became seriously ill. Lynen was one of the outstanding biochemists of his generation and made many highly original discoveries. His intellectual brilliance was combined with an exceptionally attractive, warm-hearted and open personality and with a tremendous zest for life. Students at all levels (especially postgraduate students) and from all over the world, flocked to his laboratory, which became one of the great international centres of biochemistry.

Objective. To clarify indications for dynamic and rigid stabilization based on the analysis of correlation between neuroimaging parameters of facet joints (FJ) and clinical outcomes of surgical treatment of patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine. Material and Methods. A total of 141 patients with degenerative diseases of the lumbar spine were surgically treated. Patients were divided into three groups: patients of Group I (n = 48) underwent surgical intervention with artificial intervertebral disc prosthesis; those of Group II (n = 42) – with interbody fusion and combined transpedicular and transfacetal stabilization; and those of Group III (n = 51) – with interbody fusion and bilateral transpedicular stabilization. The correlation between long-term clinical outcomes (pain syndrome according to VAS, functional state according to ODI, and satisfaction with surgical result according to MacNab scale) and preoperative neuroimaging parameters of FJ (degenerative changes according to Fujiwara, facet angle magnitudes, and the presence of tropism) was analyzed. Results. A direct significant nonparametric correlation of neuroimaging parameters of facet angles and FJ tropism with long-term clinical outcomes of surgical treatment according to VAS and ODI was revealed. It was established that good clinical outcomes were achieved with the following preoperative parameters: in Group I, the facet angle was less than 60°, while the presence of tropism had no correlation dependence; in Group II, the facet angle – more than 60°, in the absence of FJ tropism; and in Group III, the facet angle – more than 60°, in the presence of FJ tropism. Conclusion. Objective neuroimaging parameters of the facet angle magnitude of less than 60°, regardless of the presence of tropism, allow performing total arthroplasty. If the facet angle is more than 60°, the rigid stabilization of the operated segment is indicated; in the absence of tropism, a contralateral transfacetal fixation is possible, and in its presence – a bilateral transpedicular stabilization is reasonable.
