Résumé

A prospective multicenter study. The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of loss of cervical lordosis after laminoplasty for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). We also sought to determine associated risk factors and the relationship with patient-reported outcomes. Loss of cervical lordosis is a sequelae often observed after laminoplasty, which may adversely impact surgical outcomes. Cervical kyphosis, especially in OPLL, is associated with reoperation, but risk factors and relationship to postoperative outcomes remain understudied at this time. This study was conducted by the Japanese Multicenter Research Organization for Ossification of the Spinal Ligament. We included 165 patients who underwent laminoplasty and completed Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score or Japanese Orthopaedic Association Cervical Myelopathy Evaluation Questionnaires (JOACMEQ), as well as Visual Analog Scales (VAS) for pain, with imaging. The participants were divided into two groups: those with loss of cervical lordosis of >10° or 20° after surgery and those without loss of cervical lordosis. A paired t test was applied to evaluate the association between changes in cervical spinal angles, range of motion, and cervical JOA and VAS scores before and at 2 years postoperatively. Mann-Whitney U test was used for JOACMEQ. Postoperative loss of cervical lordosis >10° and >20° was observed in 32 (19.4%) and 7 (4.2%), respectively. JOA, JOACMEQ, and VAS scores were not significantly different between those with, and without, loss of cervical lordosis. Preoperative small extension range of motion (eROM) was significantly associated with postoperative loss of cervical lordosis, and the cutoff values of eROM were 7.4° [area under the curve (AUC): 0.76] and 8.2° (AUC: 0.92) for loss of cervical lordosis >10° and >20°, respectively. A large occupation ratio of OPLL was also associated with loss of cervical lordosis, with a cutoff value of 39.9% (AUC: 0.94). Laminoplasty resulted in functional improvement in most patient-reported outcomes; however, neck pain and bladder function tended to become worse postoperatively in cases with postoperative loss of cervical lordosis >20°. JOA, JOACMEQ, and VAS scores were not significantly different between those with, and without, loss of cervical lordosis. Preoperative small eROM and large OPLL may represent factors associated with loss of cervical lordosis after laminoplasty in patients with OPLL.

STUDY DESIGN METHODS
A prospective multicenter study.
OBJECTIVE OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of loss of cervical lordosis after laminoplasty for cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). We also sought to determine associated risk factors and the relationship with patient-reported outcomes.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA BACKGROUND
Loss of cervical lordosis is a sequelae often observed after laminoplasty, which may adversely impact surgical outcomes. Cervical kyphosis, especially in OPLL, is associated with reoperation, but risk factors and relationship to postoperative outcomes remain understudied at this time.
MATERIALS AND METHODS METHODS
This study was conducted by the Japanese Multicenter Research Organization for Ossification of the Spinal Ligament. We included 165 patients who underwent laminoplasty and completed Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score or Japanese Orthopaedic Association Cervical Myelopathy Evaluation Questionnaires (JOACMEQ), as well as Visual Analog Scales (VAS) for pain, with imaging. The participants were divided into two groups: those with loss of cervical lordosis of >10° or 20° after surgery and those without loss of cervical lordosis. A paired t test was applied to evaluate the association between changes in cervical spinal angles, range of motion, and cervical JOA and VAS scores before and at 2 years postoperatively. Mann-Whitney U test was used for JOACMEQ.
RESULTS RESULTS
Postoperative loss of cervical lordosis >10° and >20° was observed in 32 (19.4%) and 7 (4.2%), respectively. JOA, JOACMEQ, and VAS scores were not significantly different between those with, and without, loss of cervical lordosis. Preoperative small extension range of motion (eROM) was significantly associated with postoperative loss of cervical lordosis, and the cutoff values of eROM were 7.4° [area under the curve (AUC): 0.76] and 8.2° (AUC: 0.92) for loss of cervical lordosis >10° and >20°, respectively. A large occupation ratio of OPLL was also associated with loss of cervical lordosis, with a cutoff value of 39.9% (AUC: 0.94). Laminoplasty resulted in functional improvement in most patient-reported outcomes; however, neck pain and bladder function tended to become worse postoperatively in cases with postoperative loss of cervical lordosis >20°.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
JOA, JOACMEQ, and VAS scores were not significantly different between those with, and without, loss of cervical lordosis. Preoperative small eROM and large OPLL may represent factors associated with loss of cervical lordosis after laminoplasty in patients with OPLL.
