ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the effects of morphological changes such as vertebral wedge deformation and disc degeneration (collapse) on adult thoracolumbar/lumbar degenerative kyphosis(TL/LDK) deformity.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis of 32 patients with spinal TL/LDK deformity admitted from August 2015 to December 2020, including 8 males and 24 females, aged 48 to 75(60.3±12.4) years old. On the long-cassette standing upright lateral radiographs, the coronal Cobb angle, sagittal thoracic lumbar/lumbar kyphosis angle(KA) of spine were measured, and the height and wedge parameters of apex vertebral(AV) and two vertebrae(AV-1, AV-2, AV+1, AV+2) above and below AV and the intervertebrae and the intervertebral disc(AV-1D, AV-2D, AV+1D, AV+2D) were evaluated, involving anterior vertebral body height(AVH), posterior vertebral body height(PVH), vertebral wedge angle(VWA), ratio of vertebral wedging(RVW), anterior disc height(ADH), posterior disc height(PDH), disc wedge angle(DWA), ratio of disc wedging(RDW), and DWA/KA.@*RESULTS@#The average angle of kyphosis was (44.2±19.1)°. A significant decrease in anterior height of vertebral was observed compared to the posterior height of vertebral(P<0.005). There was no significant difference in anterior and posterior height of discs. The vertebral wedging ratio/contribution ratio:AV-2(14.98±10.95)%/(14.21±8.08)%, AV-1(21.08±12.39)%/(18.09±7.38)%, AV(26.94±11.94)%/(25.52±8.64)%, AV+1(24.19±8.42)%/(20.82±8.69)%, AV+2(20.56±7.80)%/(15.60±9.71)%, total contribution(94.23±22.25)%, the disc wedging ratio/contribution ratio:AV-2D(2.88±2.57)%/(5.27±4.11)%, AV-1D(1.98±1.41)%/(2.29±2.16)%, AV+1D(-5.54±3.75)%/(-0.57±0.46)%, AV+2D(-8.27±4.62)%/(-1.22±1.11)%, total contribution (5.77±4.79)%. And the contribution rate of AV was significantly higher than that of adjacent vertebral(P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The vertebral body and intervertebral disc shape both have influence on thoracolumbar kyphosis. However, the contribution of vertebral morphometry to the angle of TL/LDK deformity is relatively more important than the disc. The contribution of the wedge change of the AV to the TL/LDK deformity is particularly significant.

ABSTRACT

To enhance the fusion of graft bone in thoracolumbar vertebrae and minimize the postoperative loss of correction, short-segment pedicle screw fixation was reinforced with posterior moselizee bone grafting in vertebrae for spinal fusion in patients with thoracrolumbar vertebrate fractures. Seventy patients with thoracrolumbar vertebrate fractures were treated by short-segment pedicle screw fixation and were randomly divided into two groups. Fractures in group A (n=20) were reinforced with posterior morselized bone grafting in vertebrae for spinal fusion, while patients group B (n=50) did not receive the morselized bone grafting for bone fusion. The two groups were compared in terms of kyphotic deformity, anterior vertebral height, instrument failure and neurological functions after the treatment. Frankel grading system was used for the evaluation of neurological evaluation and Denis scoring scale was employed for pain assessment. The results showed that the kyphosis correction was achieved in both group A and group B (group A: 6.4 degree; group B: 5.4 degree)/At the end of follow-up, kyphosis correction was maintained in group A but lost in group B (P=0.0001). Postoperatively, greater anterior height was achieved in group A than in group B (P<0.01). During follow-up study, anterior vertebral height was maintained only in Group A (P<0.001). Both group A and group B showed good Denis pain scores (P1 and P2) but group A outdid group B in terms of control of severe and constant pain (P4 and P5). By Frankel criteria, the changes in neurological functions in group A was better than those of group B (P<0.001). It is concluded that reinforcement of short-segment pedicle fixation with morselized bone grafting for the treatment of patients with thoracolumbar vertebrae fracture could achieve and maintain kyphosis correction, and it may also increase and maintain anterior vertebral height. Morselized bone grafting in vertebrae offers immediate spinal stability in patients with thoracolumbar vertebrate fractures, decreases the instrument failure and provides better postoperative pain control than without the morselized bone grafting.

ABSTRACT

Thoracolumbar burst fractures account for more than half of all thoracolumbar fractures,which often result in neurologic deficit,kyphosis deformity and significant disability.The management of thoracolumbar burst fractures differ with the types.Nowadays,the accepted methods of treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures include conservative therapy,posterior reduction and instrumentation,anterior decompression and instrumentation,combined anterior-posterior approach and minimally invasive approach.Howerer,the optimal technique is not always evident.There is no precise classification system to determine which surgical procedure is the best.The following review summarizes the recent advances in treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures.Recent clinical evidence shows that there is no significant difference between conservative therapy and surgical treatment for thoracolumbar burst fractures without neurologic deficit,and that surgical treatment should be considered for unstable fractures with neurological injuries.Some other clinical evidence shows that short segment combined fractured vertebra plasty with various manners has gained popularity,because it can reconstruct anterior column and decrease the failure of internal fixation and the occurrence of long-term spinal kyphosis deformity.In accordance with the principles of biomechanics and taking into account the occurrence of degeneration of adjacent segment,surgeons gradually applied non-fusion technology in clinical practice,and yet its long-term results need to be confirmed by further studies.

ABSTRACT

@#ObjectiveTo study the clinical outcome and efficacy of closed management of theoracolumbar burst fractures without neurologic deficits.Methods 20 patients with a burst fracture of thoracolumbar vertebrae but without neurologic deficit were reviewed clinically and radiographically following nonoperative management.ResultsAfter treatment, the averaged Cobb angle (8°)was better than that (18.5°) before treatment (P<0.01), and the averaged anterior body height (87.18%) was also better than that (50.68%) before treatment (P<0.01). In 12 patients, averaged occupying area of vertebra in vertebral canal was 27% before treatment and lowered 16% after treatment (P<0.01). During treatment period, one patient developed neurologic deterioration that prompted surgery. All other patients remained neurologically intact. After follow-up (average 2.5 years), an overall outcome evaluation indicated that 70% of patients had excellent outcomes relative to pain and function, 25% had good and 5% had poor outcomes.Conclusions These findings suggest that nonoperative management as the preferred treatment can use in above circumstances.
