Résumé

Retrospective Cohort Study with prospectively collected data. Transforaminal interbody fusion was initially designed for the lumbar spine. A similar approach was later introduced for the thoracic spine (TTIF). Here we report the surgical technique and the Core Outcome Measures Index (COMI) at 1-year and 2-year follow-ups, as well as the sagittal radiographic kyphosis correction of TTIF, achieved at 1 year and the latest follow-up. All TTIF procedures from 2012 to 2020 were included. COMI scores were collected preoperatively and at 1- and 2-year follow-ups. The sagittal angle between the upper and lower endplates at the segment where TTIF was performed was measured on preoperative, 1-year postoperative, and last available radiographs. Seventy-nine TTIF procedures were performed for 64 patients (36% males; mean age 67.5 (SD 15.3) years). COMI score reduced from a mean value of 8.1 (SD 1.4) preoperatively to 4.7 (SD 2.7) at 1-year follow-up and 4.7 (SD 2.7) at 2-year follow-up. The mean correction of segmental kyphosis was 10.8 (SD 7.3, p < 0.0001) degrees at 1-year follow-up and 9.3 (SD 7.0, p < 0.0001) degrees at the final follow-up 3.4 (SD 1.4) years after the operation. Kaplan-Meier analysis for reoperations showed a 5-year survival of 91% (95% CI 0.795-1) for primary TTIF operations and survival of 77% (95% CI 0.651-0.899) for TTIFs performed after earlier fusion operations. TTIF is a feasible procedure in the thoracic spine. Kyphosis correction of approximately 10° was maintained at 1-year and final follow-up. Over 69% at 1-year and 61% at 2-year follow-up achieved MCID for COMI.
