Résumé

To identify the risk factors for distal junctional failure (DJF) in women treated for adult spine deformity with fusion to L5 and to highlight the significance of preoperative assessment, surgical decision-making, and postoperative care. This is a retrospective study of data collected prospectively on the local institutional spine surgery registry (2016-2021). All patients, women older than 18 years, with a diagnosis of adult spine deformity who underwent long posterior instrumentation to L5 and had a minimum of 2-years follow-up were included in the study (two groups: with or without DJF). Demographic and radiographic data, corrective strategy, preoperative level of degeneration at L5/S1 and GAP score were compared between the two groups. Forty-eight patients (n = 48) satisfied eligibility criteria. At two-years follow-up, nine patients (18,7%) developed a DJF that required surgical revision. Thirty-nine patients did not present distal junctional complications. Patients with or without DJF showed significant differences in terms of preoperative spinopelvic parameters (PT: 28°± 6° vs. 23°± 9°, p-value 0.05; DJF group vs. not DJF) and degeneration of L5-S1 (Pfirmann grade L5-S1 disc 3.7 ± 1.0 vs. 2.6 ± 0.8, p-value 0.001; DJF group vs. not DJF) (L5-S1 Facet joint Osteoarthritis 3.1 ± 0.8 vs.2.4 ± 0.8, p-value 0.023; DJF group vs. not DJF). DJF following spinal deformity correction surgery is influenced by a combination of patient-related, surgical and implant-related factors. Fusion construct length, preoperative and postoperative sagittal alignment and the grade of degeneration of the distal disc have been identified as significant risk factors. Surgeons should carefully evaluate these factors and employ appropriate strategies.
