Effect of spinal fusion on joint space narrowing of the hip: comparison among non-fusion, short fusion, and middle or long fusion.

Lumbar fusion corrects spinal deformities and improves spinal complications. Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is strongly correlated with spinal mobility, and joint space narrowing of the hip after spinal fusi... We retrospectively examined 530 hips of 270 patients who underwent spinal surgery. All the patients underwent whole-spine radiography before and at the final follow-up. Patients were divided into thre... The rate of joint space narrowing was significantly higher in the L group than in the N and S groups (P < 0.001). No significant difference in the rate of joint space narrowing was observed between th... Long spinal fusion (more than four levels) led to significantly greater joint space narrowing of the hip than short (up to three levels) or no fusion. Spinal alignment did not affect joint space narro... IV, retrospective study....

Prophylactic Spinal Cord Untethering in Children with Spinal Dysraphism Undergoing Thoracolumbar Fusion for Scoliosis.

It remains unclear whether spinal cord untethering is necessary to reduce the chances of neurologic decline in children with myelomeningocele and complex closed spinal dysraphism who undergo thoracolu... Retrospective, single-center review of patients with spinal dysraphism treated with thoracolumbar fusion over the last 10 years (2009-2019) with or without prophylactic spinal cord untethering.... Seventeen patients with myelomeningocele and complex closed spinal dysraphism underwent spinal fusion for scoliosis. Mean age at time of surgery was 13.9 years. Prophylactic spinal cord untethering wa... Our data suggest that prophylactic spinal cord untethering in children with spinal dysraphism undergoing thoracolumbar fusion for scoliosis may not be necessary in patients with moderate curvatures. O...

Spinal Fusion in Patients With Classic Amyoplasia and General Arthrogryposis.

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is a group of conditions characterized by joint contractures affecting 2 or more joints. This study describes results of spinal fusion in patients with classic amyop... IRB approved retrospective review of patients with a diagnosis of classic amyoplasia and general arthrogryposis who had a primary definitive posterior spinal fusion between 1990 and 2017 at a single p... Over the 28-year period, 342 patients were diagnosed with amyoplasia and general arthrogryposis. Among the 342 patients, 60 (18%) had scoliosis, and 22 (6% of the cohort and 37% of those with scoliosi... Complication rates after spinal fusion for scoliosis in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita patients are high, especially in patients undergoing ASF/PSF, deep infection is common, and major coronal pla...

Association Between Lenke Classification, The Extent of Lumbar Spinal Fusion, and Health-Related Quality of Life After Instrumented Spinal Fusion for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Prospective cohort study.... Lenke classification is used to define the curve type in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The association of Lenke classification and long-term postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQo... The purpose of this study was to assess the association between Lenke classification and HRQoL in patients who underwent spinal fusion for AIS.... In all, 146 consecutive patients (mean age 15.1 yr) operated for AIS between 2007 and 2019 with a minimum 2-year follow-up were included. Fifty-three (36%) patients reached the 10-year follow-up. Thei... The preoperative major curve was the largest in Lenke 3 (mean 63 ° ) and 4 (mean 62 ° ) groups and the lowest in Lenke 5 groups (mean 48 ° , P <0.05). These curves were corrected to a mean of 15 ° wit... Lenke classification and especially its curve type (major thoracic vs. major thoracolumbar scoliosis) was associated with long-term health-related quality of life after instrumented spinal fusion for ...

Predictors of Blood Transfusion in Patients Undergoing Lumbar Spinal Fusion.

To determine risk factors for perioperative blood transfusion after lumbar fusion surgery.... After institutional review board approval, a retrospective cohort study of adult patients who underwent lumbar fusion at a single, urban tertiary academic center was retrospectively retrieved. Our pri... Of the 3,842 patients, 282 (7.3%) required a blood transfusion. For patients undergoing posterolateral decompression and fusion, predictors of transfusion included age (P < 0.001) and more levels fuse... Our analysis identified older age, lower body mass index, greater Elixhauser comorbidity index, longer operative duration, more levels fused, and lower preoperative hemoglobin levels as independent pr...

Vertebropexy as a semi-rigid ligamentous alternative to lumbar spinal fusion.

To develop ligamentous vertebral stabilization techniques ("vertebropexy") that can be used after microsurgical decompression (intact posterior structures) and midline decompression (removed posterior... Fifteen spinal segments were biomechanically tested in a stepwise surgical decompression and ligamentous stabilization study. Stabilization was achieved with a gracilis or semitendinosus tendon allogr... Interspinous vertebropexy significantly reduced the range of motion (ROM) in all loading scenarios compared to microsurgical decompression: in FE by 70% (p < 0.001), in LS by 22% (p < 0.001), in LB by... Vertebropexy is a new concept of semi-rigid spinal stabilization based on ligamentous reinforcement of the spinal segment. It is able to reduce motion, especially in flexion-extension. Studies are nee...

Biomechanical Analysis of Multilevel Posterior Cervical Spinal Fusion Constructs.

Controlled Laboratory Study.... To compare multilevel posterior cervical fusion (PCF) constructs stopping at C7, T1, and T2 under cyclic load to determine the range of motion (ROM) between the lowest instrumented level and lowest in... PCF is a mainstay of treatment for various cervical spine conditions. The transition between the flexible cervical spine and rigid thoracic spine can lead to construct failure at the cervicothoracic j... Fifteen human cadaveric cervicothoracic spines were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups: PCF stopping at C7, T1, or T2. Specimens were tested in their native state, following a simulated PCF,... The C7 group had greater flexion-extension motion than the T1 and T2 groups following instrumentation (10.17±0.83 degree vs. 2.77±1.66 degree and 1.06±0.55 degree, P <0.001), and after cyclic loading ... Motion at the cervicothoracic junction is significantly greater when a multilevel PCF stops at C7 rather than T1 or T2. This is likely attributable to the transition from a flexible cervical spine to ... Not applicable....

Outcomes of Posterior Spinal Fusion in Pediatric Patients with Down Syndrome.

Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome is associated with multiple orthopaedic manifestations.

A total of 23 patients were included: 96% had ≥1 medical comorbidities, including 16 (70%) with congenital heart disease, of whom 88% had previous cardiac surgery, and 10 (44%) with thyroid disorders....
