To explore the pathogenic mechanism, operative techniques and therapeutic efficacy of lumbar degenerative scoliosis.
A retrospective analysis was performed for 32 patients (14 males and 18 females with a mean age of 67.4 years old) with degenerative lumbar scoliosis undergoing posterior decompression and fusion with pedicle screw system from January 2007 to March 2010. The post-operative outcomes were radiologically evaluated with Oswestry disability index (ODI), Cobb' angle and lumbar lordosis angle.
All patients received a mean follow-up of 28.5 months (range: 12 - 50). All lumbar joints achieved bony fusion at Month 6 post-operation. No complications occurred due to instrumentation. There was no pseudoarthrosis. The significant differences of ODI existed between pre-operation and post-operation [(60 ± 11)% vs (21 ± 6)%, P < 0.01], Cobb' angle [(28 ± 9)° vs (13 ± 5)°, P < 0.01] and lumbar lordosis angle [(41 ± 12)° vs (20 ± 10)°, P < 0.01].
Individualized operations should be performed for degenerative lumbar scoliosis patients. Proper lumbar decompression and the reconstruction of coronal and sagittal balances may relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life.
探讨腰椎退变性侧凸的发病机制、手术技巧及治疗效果。
对2007年1月至2010年3月间32例(男14例,女18例,平均年龄67.4岁)接受后路减压及椎弓根螺钉系统融合术治疗的退变性腰椎侧凸患者进行回顾性分析。采用Oswestry功能障碍指数(ODI)、Cobb角和腰椎前凸角对术后结果进行影像学评估。
所有患者平均随访28.5个月(范围:12 - 50个月)。所有腰椎节段均在术后6个月实现骨性融合。未发生与内固定相关的并发症。无假关节形成。术前与术后ODI[(60±11)%对(21±6)%,P<0.01]、Cobb角[(28±9)°对(13±5)°,P<0.01]及腰椎前凸角[(41±12)°对(20±10)°,P<0.01]比较差异均有统计学意义。
退变性腰椎侧凸患者应行个体化手术。适当的腰椎减压及冠状面和矢状面平衡重建可缓解症状,提高生活质量。
