ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Posterior lumbar non-fusion devices have been developed to control vertebral column movement, change load pattern of instability segment, restrict abnormal action, as well as avoid adjacent segment degeneration.OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the efficiency of Wallis dynamic stabilization system in the treatment of lumbar vertebrae instability.METHODS:
Ten cases suffering from lumbar instability were selected, including 3 males and 7 females, aged 43-65 years. One patient sustained L_(1/2) and L_(4/5) segmental instability, one was L_(2/3) and another was L_(3/4), and the others were L_(4/5). Two patients complicated with lumbar disc herniation and 7 patients combined with lumbar spinal stenosis at the same affected segment, and 3 patients associated with lumbar spinal stenosis at adjacent segment. All unstable segments were treated with decompression, posterior implantation of Wallis dynamic stabilization system. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) scores for low back pain and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate clinical outcomes. In addition, therange of motion (ROM) at the instrumented segment and adjacent segments and posterior disc height (PDH) in standing and extension position at L_(4/5) segment were also measured.RESULTS ANDCONCLUSION:
All the patients were followed-up for 2-13 months, mean 9.2 months. The mean operation duration was 128 minutes (90-185 minutes), with bleeding volume of 264 Ml (50-600 Ml). Sings and symptoms of all patients were improved significantly after operation, except one patient with recurrence of L_(4/5) lumbar spinal stenosis at 3 month after surgery, whose symptoms relieved by revision with fenestration and decompression. The postoperative VAS was dramatically decreased than that of preoperation (P=0.003); the JOA score was obviously increased (P=0.002), and the ODI score was decreased (p=0.008). The postoperative range of motion decreased significantly (P<0.05). However, there was no obviously difference between preoperative and postoperative L_(3/4), L_5/S_1 and posterior disc height (P>0.05). Good clinical results can be achieved by surgical intervention with Wallis dynamic stabilization system in treating lumbar vertebrae instability.
