Effect of heterotopic ossification on cervical motion following Prestige artificial cervical disc replacement / 解剖学报

[Abstract] Objective To analyze the effect of heterotopic ossification(HO) on the postoperative segmental range of motion(ROM)after Prestige artificial cendcal disc replacement, and to explore the related factors leading to the formation of heterotopic ossification after artificial cendcal disc replacement. Methods We recruited of 66 patients who had Prestige artificial cendcal disc replacement from January 2014 to January 2018 in Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University were retrospectively reviewed. To evaluate cendcal spine X-ray, the replacement segment ROM was measured in picture, and the occurrence of HO was defined by the McAfee' s classification. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to analyze the relationship between heterotopic ossification formation and replacement segment ROM,the t test was used to analyze the influence between heterotopic ossification grading and replacement segment ROM. Nine clinical factors including age, gender, bod)' mass index(BMI), number of replacement segments, preoperative ligament ossification, the preoperative disc height ratio of the target level and its adjacent level, preoperative mobility of replacement segments, postoperative mobility of replacement segments, whether to use nonsteroidal autiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during perioperative period. The correlation between these nine clinical factors and the occurrence of postoperative HO was evaluated with logistic regression analysis. Results The occurrence rate of HO was 34. 8% in last follow-up. The replacement segmental ROM of the heterotopic ossification group was significantly smaller than that of the non-ectopic ossification group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05),and the McAfee grade IH-IV group was significantly less than the McAfee grade I-H group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0. 05). Correlation analysis showed that preoperative and postoperative ROM of the replacement segment presented statistical correlation (P < 0. 05). Furthennore analysis of ROC curve showed that heterotopic ossification was more likely to occur when the degree of ROM of the replacement segment

Clinical study of Bryan prosthetic disc in the treatment of ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament of cervical spine / 中国矫形外科杂志

[Objective] To observe the clinical effect of Bryan cervical prosthetic disc in treating ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament(OPLL)of cervical spine.[Method]From October 2005 to June 2007,15 localized OPLL patients were treated surgically by cervical arthroplasty using Bryan disc prosthesis.JOA score and radiological study were performed before and after operation.The range of movement(ROM)of replaced level were investigated postoperatively.[Result]Neurological deficit was alleviated in all patients.All patients were followed up at least 6 months,JOA score increased from an average of 8.5 to 15.8.Replaced segment restored the normal ROM in flexion and extension.[Conclusion]Cervical arthroplasty using Bryan disc prosthesis can achieve good clinical outcome in treating localized OPLL of cervical spine;and the normal ROM can be retained in the replaced level.
