Project description:Pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) is an invasive surgical technique allowing the restoration of a well-balanced sagittal profile, however, the risks of pseudarthrosis and instrumentation breakage are still high. Literature studied primary stability and posterior instrumentation loads, neglecting the load shared by the anterior column, which is fundamental to promote fusion early after surgery. The study aimed at quantifying the load-sharing occurring after PSO procedure across the ventral spinal structures and the posterior instrumentation, as affected by simple bilateral fixation alone, with interbody cages adjacent to PSO level and supplementary accessory rods. Lumbar spine segments were loaded in vitro under flexion-extension, lateral bending, and torsion using an established spine tester. Digital image correlation (DIC) and strain-gauge (SG) analyses measured, respectively, the full-field strain distribution on the ventral surface of the spine and the local strain on posterior primary rods. Ventral strains considerably decreased following PSO and instrumentation, confirming the effectiveness of posterior load-sharing. Supplemental accessory rods considerably reduced the posterior rod strains only with interbody cages, but the ventral strains were unaffected: this indicates that the load transfer across the osteotomy could be promoted, thus explaining the higher fusion rate with decreased rod fracture risk reported in clinical literature.

Project description:ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to assess differences in complication profiles between 3-level posterior column osteotomy (PCO) and single-level pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) as both are reported to provide similar degrees of sagittal correction.MethodsThe PearlDiver database was queried retrospectively using International Classification of Disease, 9th and 10th edition and Current Procedural Terminology codes to identify patients who underwent PCO or PSO for degenerative spine disease. Patients under age 18 or with history of spinal malignancy, infection, or trauma were excluded. Patients were separated into 2 cohorts, 3-level PCO or single-level PSO, matched at a 1:1 ratio based on age, sex, Elixhauser comorbidity index, and number of fused posterior segments. Thirtyday systemic and procedure-related complications were compared.ResultsMatching resulted in 631 patients for each cohort. PCO patients had decreased odds of respiratory (odds ratio [OR], 0.58; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.43-0.82; p = 0.001) and renal complications (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.40-0.88; p = 0.009) compared to PSO patients. There was no significant difference in cardiac complications, sepsis, pressure ulcer, dural tear, delirium, neurologic injuries, postoperative hematoma, postoperative anemia, or overall complications.ConclusionPatients who undergo 3-level PCO have decreased respiratory and renal complications compared to single-level PSO. No differences were found in the other complications studied. Considering both procedures achieve similar sagittal correction, surgeons should be aware that 3-level PCO offers an improved safety profile compared to single-level PSO.

Project description:ObjectiveTo compare the clinical outcomes and biomechanical characteristics of 1-, 2-, and 3-level pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO), and establish selection criteria based on preoperative radiographic parameters.MethodsPatients undergone PSO to treat ankylosing spondylitis from February 2009 to May 2019 in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University were enrolled. According to the quantity of osteotomy performed, the participants were divided into group A (1-level PSO, n = 24), group B (2-level PSO, n = 19), and group C (3-level PSO, n = 11). Clinical outcomes were assessed before surgery and at the final follow-up. Comparisons of the radiographic parameters and quality-of-life indicators were performed among and within these groups, and the selection criteria were established by regression. Finite element analysis was conducted to compare the biomechanical characteristics of the spine treated with different quantity of osteotomies under different working conditions.ResultsThree-level PSO improved the sagittal parameters more significantly, but resulted in longer operative time and greater blood loss (p < 0.05). Greater stress was found in the proximal screws and proximal junction area of the vertebra in the model simulating 1-level PSO. Larger stress of screws and vertebra was observed at the distal end in the model simulating 3-level PSO.ConclusionMultilevel PSO works better for larger deformity correction than single-level PSO by allowing greater sagittal parameter correction and obtaining a better distribution of stress in the hardware construct, although with longer operation time and greater blood loss. Three-level osteotomy is recommended for the patients with preoperative of global kyphosis > 85.95°, T1 pelvic angle > 62.3°, sagittal vertical alignment > 299.55 mm, and pelvic tilt+ chin-brow vertical angle > 109.6°.

Project description:Prospective observational cohort study.To determine if postoperative cervical sagittal balance is an independent predictor of health-related quality of life outcome after surgery for cervical spondylotic myelopathy.Both ventral and dorsal fusion procedures for CSM are effective at reducing the symptoms of myelopathy. The importance of cervical sagittal balance in predicting overall health-related quality of life outcome after ventral versus dorsal surgery for CSM has not been previously explored.A prospective, nonrandomized cohort of 49 patients undergoing dorsal and ventral fusion surgery for CSM was examined. Preoperative and postoperative C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis was measured on standing lateral cervical spine radiographs. Outcome was assessed with 2 disease-specific measures-the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association scale and the Oswestry Neck Disability Index and 2 generalized outcome measures-the Short-Form 36 physical component summary (SF-36 PCS) and Euro-QOL-5D. Assessments were performed preoperatively, and at 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Statistical analyses were performed using SAS version 9.3 (SAS Institute).Most patients experienced improvement in all outcome measures regardless of approach. Both preoperative and postoperative C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis measurements were independent predictors of clinically significant improvement in SF-36 PCS scores (P = 0.03 and P = 0.02). The majority of patients with C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis values greater than 40 mm did not improve from an overall health-related quality of life perspective (SF-36 PCS) despite improvement in myelopathy. The postoperative sagittal balance value was inversely correlated with a clinically significant improvement of SF-36 PCS scores in patients undergoing dorsal surgery but not ventral surgery (P = 0.03 vs. P = 0.93).Preoperative and postoperative sagittal balance measurements independently predict clinical outcomes after surgery for CSM.2.

Project description:Introduction Studies document rod fracture in pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) settings where disk spaces were preserved above or adjacent to the PSO. This study compares the multidirectional bending rigidity and fatigue life of PSO segments with or without interbody support. Methods Twelve specimens received bilateral T12-S1 posterior fixation and L3 PSO. Six received extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) cages in addition to PSO at L2-L3 and L3-L4; six had PSO only. Flexion-extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation (AR) tests were conducted up to 7.5 Newton-meters (Nm) for groups: (1) posterior fixation, (2) L3 PSO, (3) addition of cages (six specimens). Relative motion across the osteotomy (L2-L4) and entire fixation site (T12-S1) was measured. All specimens were then fatigue tested for 35K cycles. Results Regardingmultiaxial bending, there was a significant 25.7% reduction in AR range of motion across L2-L4 following addition of cages. Regarding fatigue bending, dynamic stiffness, though not significant (p = 0.095), was 22.2% greater in the PSO + XLIF group than in the PSO-only group. Conclusions Results suggest that placement of interbody cages in PSO settings has a potential stabilizing effect, which is modestly evident in the acute setting. Inserting cages in a second-stage surgery remains a viable option and may benefit patients in terms of recovery but additional clinical studies are necessary to confirm this.

Project description:Study Design Literature review. Objective To discuss the evaluation and management of fixed sagittal plane imbalance. Methods A comprehensive literature review was performed on the preoperative evaluation of patients with sagittal plane malalignment, as well as the surgical strategies to address sagittal plane deformity. Results Sagittal plane imbalance is often caused by de novo scoliosis or iatrogenic flat back deformity. Understanding the etiology and magnitude of sagittal malalignment is crucial in realignment planning. Objective parameters have been developed to guide surgeons in determining how much correction is needed to achieve favorable outcomes. Currently, the goals of surgery are to restore a sagittal vertical axis < 5 cm, pelvic tilt < 20 degrees, and lumbar lordosis equal to pelvic incidence ± 9 degrees. Conclusion Sagittal plane malalignment is an increasingly recognized cause of pain and disability. Treatment of sagittal plane imbalance varies according to the etiology, location, and severity of the deformity. Fixed sagittal malalignment often requires complex reconstructive procedures that include osteotomy correction. Reestablishing harmonious spinopelvic alignment is associated with significant improvement in health-related quality-of-life outcome measures and patient satisfaction.

Project description:The purpose of this retrospective study was to demonstrate the surgical outcomes of anterior spinal fusion (ASF) and posterior subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC). Forty patients who underwent surgery for OVC at the thoracolumbar junction with neurological deficits were included in this study. ASF was primarily chosen for patients without vertebral compression fracture at other levels, and PSO was chosen for patients with more severe kyphosis or with multiple vertebral fractures. ASF was performed in 26 patients and PSO was performed in 14 patients. We evaluated the pre- and postoperative clinical status consisting of pain, gait, paralysis, and bladder function analysis. Additionally, pre- and postoperative kyphosis, correction angle, correction loss, and upright balance were investigated radiologically. Improvements in pain level, gait, paralysis, and bladder function were obtained in both groups. Average correction angles in the ASF and PSO groups were 16 and 37, respectively. Average correction losses at the final follow-up in the ASF and PSO groups were 7 and 13, respectively. Newly developed postsurgical vertebral compression fracture adjacent to the level of instrumentation was observed in four patients (15%) in the ASF group and in 11 patients (79%) from the PSO group. ASF provided satisfactory outcomes for patients with thoracolumbar OVC, who have no vertebral compression fracture at other levels. Although PSO has benefits for the correction of kyphosis, several problems persist with this procedure, especially for patients with severe osteoporosis.
