ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate variation of lumbar spine stability in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP) after two types selective posterior rhizotomy (SPR) at lumbosacral and conical sites.Methods Forty-five cases of SCP have undergone with lumbosacral SPR and 38 with conical SPR. Posteroanterior, lateral, 40°-double-oblique, and dynamic (hyperextension and hyperflexion) position lumbar Xray films were taken for all of them before and three months to seven years ( 19 months in average) after operation to observe postoperative lumbar deformity, lumbosacral angle, lateral Cobb' s angle, arch-vertex distance, lordotic index, Posner's definition, and other stability indicators pre- and post-operation of the two groups. Results ① There was statistically significant difference in lumbosacral angle, lateral Cobb's angle, arch-vertex distance, lordotic index and Posner's definition at the 1 st to 2nd lumbar vertebrae (L1-L2 ), the 4th to 5th lumbar vertebrae ( L4 - L5 ), and the 5th lumbar to the 1st sacral vertebrae ( L5 - S1 ) among those with lumbosacral SPR before and after operation (P <0. 05). But, only Posner's definition at the 12th thoracic vertebra to the 2nd lumbar vertebra ( T12 - L2 ) varied significantly ( P < 0. 05 ) among those with conical SPR ② Various lumbar deformity was observed in six cases ( 13% ) with lumbosacral SPR, three of them with instable neurological symptoms; while two cases (5%) did so after conical SPR,one with neurological symptoms, with statistical significance ( P < 0. 05). Conclusions Little variation of lumbar spine stability is found among children with spastic cerebral palsy in mid-short term after SPR, while influence of conical SPR is much less on lumbar stability. Their long-term postoperative influence has to be followed-up further.
