Clinical observation and efficacy on lumbar interbody fusion for spine pelvic sagittal balance / 局解手术学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the clinical therapeutic effect of lumbar fusion in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases in the spine pelvic sagittal balance. Methods From June 2009 to June 2012,the clinical data of 92 cases with lumbar degenerative diseases ac-cepted lumbar spinal fusion operation in our hospital was collected. The contrast lumbar lordosis ( LL) ,lumbar sagittal vertical axis ( SVA) , pelvic incidence angle ( PI) ,sacral inclination angle ( SS) ,pelvic tilt angle ( PT) and other numerical parameters,using the Oswestry disabil-ity index ( ODI) ,visual analogue scale ( VAS) and the Japan Society of Department of orthopedics ( JOA) score were followed up two years after operation,and the postoperative effect was evaluated. Results The spinal pelvic parameters SVA,LL,SS and PT after surgery were changed obviously,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). The postoperative follow-up of VAS,ODI and JOA score were better than that of preoperation,the difference was significant(P<0. 05). Conclusion Lumbar fusion operation can restore lumbar lordosis, to maintain the spine pelvic sagittal balance and improve the effect of operation,and have positive significance to improve the postoperative symptoms.
