Aim of this study is to estimate the risk for symptomatic adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) and examine the association between spino-pelvic parameters and ASD.
22 patients operated upon by instrumented lumbar or lumbosacral spinal fusion and re-operated upon for ASD were enrolled in the study. 83 consecutive patients with the same surgery and never re-operated upon were the controls. Pelvic incidence, sacral slope (SS), pelvic tilt (PT), and lumbar lordosis were calculated.
Patients with ASD had significantly lower SS (p = 0.005) and higher PT values (p < 0.001). Patients with SS <39° or PT >21°, were at higher risk for symptomatic ASD (relative risk 1.73 for SS and 3.663 for PT).
In patients re-operated upon for ASD, pelvic retroversion and hyperlordosis are the main mechanisms of compensation for the unbalanced spine. Patients with PT above 21° and SS below 39° are at higher risk for symptomatic ASD.
本研究旨在评估症状性相邻节段退变(ASD)的风险,并研究脊柱-骨盆参数与ASD之间的关联。
本研究纳入了22例行器械辅助腰椎或腰骶部脊柱融合手术并因ASD再次手术的患者。83例接受相同手术且从未再次手术的连续患者作为对照。计算骨盆入射角、骶骨倾斜角(SS)、骨盆倾斜角(PT)和腰椎前凸。
ASD患者的SS显著更低(p = 0.005),PT值更高(p < 0.001)。SS < 39°或PT > 21°的患者出现症状性ASD的风险更高(SS的相对风险为1.73,PT的相对风险为3.663)。
在因ASD再次手术的患者中,骨盆后倾和腰椎前凸增加是脊柱失衡的主要代偿机制。PT高于21°且SS低于39°的患者出现症状性ASD的风险更高。
