A prospective, randomized, multicenter Food and Drug Administration Investigation Device Exemption study using total disc replacement as surgical treatment of degenerative disc disease at 1 or 2 contiguous levels of the cervical spine.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of total disc replacement at single or 2 contiguous levels through 48 months of follow-up.
Cervical total disc replacement has been shown to be a safe and effective alternative to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion at 24 months. Its motion-preserving capabilities may avoid accelerating adjacent segment pathology and thereby lower the rate of associated complications.
Patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio (total disc replacement [TDR]: anterior cervical discectomy and fusion [ACDF]) at 24 sites. Ultimately, 164 patients received TDR at 1 level and 225 patients received TDR at 2 contiguous levels. An additional 24 patients (15 one-level, 9 two-level) were treated with TDR as training cases.Outcome measures included neck disability index, visual analogue scale neck and arm pain, Short Form 12-item Health Survey (SF-12) Mental Composite Score (MCS) and Physical Composite Score (PCS), range of motion, major complication rates, and secondary surgery rates. Patients received follow-up examinations at regular intervals through 4 years after surgery.
Preoperative characteristics were statistically similar for the 1- and 2-level patient groups. Four-year follow-up rates were 83.1% (1-level) and 89.0% (2-level). There was no statistically significant difference between 1- and 2-level TDR groups for all clinical outcome measures. Both TDR groups experienced significant improvement at each follow-up when compared with preoperative scores. One case of migration was reported in the 2-level TDR group.
A 4-year post hoc comparison of 1- and 2-level TDR patients concurrently enrolled in a 24-center, Food and Drug Administration Investigation Device Exemption clinical trial indicated no statistical differences between groups in clinical outcomes, overall complication rates, and subsequent surgery rates.
一项前瞻性、随机、多中心的美国食品药品监督管理局医疗器械豁免研究,采用全椎间盘置换术作为颈椎1个或2个连续节段退变性椎间盘疾病的手术治疗方法。
通过48个月的随访,评估单节段或2个连续节段全椎间盘置换术的安全性和有效性。
颈椎全椎间盘置换术已被证明在24个月时是颈椎前路椎间盘切除融合术的一种安全有效的替代方法。其保留运动功能的能力可避免加速相邻节段病变,从而降低相关并发症的发生率。
在24个地点,患者按2:1的比例随机分组(全椎间盘置换术[TDR]:颈椎前路椎间盘切除融合术[ACDF])。最终,164例患者接受了单节段TDR,225例患者接受了2个连续节段的TDR。另外24例患者(15例单节段,9例双节段)作为培训病例接受了TDR治疗。结果指标包括颈部功能障碍指数、视觉模拟量表颈部和手臂疼痛评分、简短健康调查问卷(SF-12)心理综合评分(MCS)和身体综合评分(PCS)、活动范围、主要并发症发生率和二次手术率。患者在术后4年内定期接受随访检查。
1级和2级患者组的术前特征在统计学上相似。4年随访率分别为83.1%(1级)和89.0%(2级)。在所有临床结果指标方面,1级和2级TDR组之间没有统计学上的显著差异。与术前评分相比,两个TDR组在每次随访时均有显著改善。2级TDR组报告了1例移位病例。
对同时参加24中心美国食品药品监督管理局医疗器械豁免临床试验的1级和2级TDR患者进行4年的事后比较表明,两组在临床结果、总体并发症发生率和后续手术率方面没有统计学差异。
