ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effects of single rectangle cage interbody fusion combined with pedicle screw fixa?tion for isthmic spondylolisthesis. Methods Data of the 34 cases with isthmic spondylolisthesis hospitalized at our department from March 2012 to February 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were operated by posterior pedicle screw fixation com?bined with single rectangle cage interbody fusion. There were 21 males and 13 females, aging from 18 to 63 years old (with an aver?age age of 41.6±8.2 years). Lesion segments were L4 in 15 cases and L5 in 19 cases;there were 12 cases in Meyerding I degree, 16 in II degree and 6 in III degree;28 patients had lower back pain associated with lower limb pain;19 patients had lower back pain associated with numbness of lower limb;18 patients had lower back pain associated with lower limb muscle weakness and 2 pa?tients had urination and defecation function disturbance. The surgical operation time, bleeding, postoperative drainage flow, graft fusion rate, complications were measured, and the intervertebral disc height, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA), Oswestry disability indes (ODI), visual analogue scale (VAS) score were compared before and after treatment. Results The operation of 34 patients was successfully completed with the average operation time of 1.8 ± 0.8 h, and the bleeding in operation was 362.4 ± 93.7 ml, while postoperative drainage flow was 116.3±54.2 ml. All patients were effectively followed up for 12 months to 46 months (av?erage, one year and 10 months). Two weeks after operation, the intervertebral disc height were obviously increased (9.85±1.11 mm, 9.63 ± 1.04 mm), and there were significant difference compared with preoperative results (6.53 ± 0.98 mm, 6.24 ± 1.07 mm), but there were no significant difference compared with the latest follow?up results (9.23±1.33 mm, 9.30±1.16 mm). At the latest follow?up, JOA score was 13.19±1.08, ODI score 12.34±7.52, VAS score 2.23±1.51, and there were significantly different in each score compared with preoperative results. The symptoms of low back pain, lower limb nerve dysfunction and quality of life were signifi?cantly improved compared with preoperative situation. At the 16 month follow?up, all postoperative patients with vertebral body bone graft were judged to be fused. There was no pedicle screw loosening, fracture and so on. Conclusion Single rectangle cage interbody fusion combined with pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of isthmic spondylolisthesis is a kind of mini?invasive, less bleeding, safe and effective surgical method.
