Conventional treatment of rigid deformity in Scheuermann's kyphosis (SK) in young patients includes a preliminary anterior spinal release and fusion (ASF) followed by posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation (PSF). However, recently there are more trends to do posterior-only surgery for correction of this deformity. The aim of our study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of ASF/PSF and PSF-only procedures in treatment of SK.
In a prospective clinical and radiological review, thirty operated SK patients in two groups were evaluated. Group A: ASF/PSF technique (n: 16) and group B: PSF-only procedure (n: 14) were followed for at least 2 years (average 57.6 months). Two groups were well matched for the following four criteria: average age, flexibility status, posterior fusion levels, and preoperative Cobb's kyphosis angle. Oswestry disability index (ODI) and scoliosis research society questionnaire-30 (SRS-30) and radiological (kyphosis correction, correction loss, sagittal balance) parameters were evaluated before and after surgery and at the final follow-up.
In group A, primary thoracic Cobb's kyphosis, immediate post-operative kyphosis, and final follow-up kyphosis angle were 83.6°, 41.4° and 43°, respectively (P < 0.05). Correction rate and correction loss were 50.5 % and 1.6° ± 2.4, respectively. In group B, the corresponding values were 81.9°, 40.1° and 43.2°, respectively (P < 0.05). Correction rate and correction loss were 51 % and 3.1° ± 2.5, respectively. SRS-30 and ODI scores in group A were averaged 68.5 and 21.3 preoperatively and 128.7 and 6.25 at the final follow-up, respectively. In group B, the corresponding values were 64 and 23.2 preoperatively and 133.5 and 5.8 at the final follow-up, respectively.
Clinical and radiological parameters were similar in both groups after surgical correction while, complication rates, operation time and blood loss were significantly higher in ASF/PSF procedure.
年轻患者休门氏后凸畸形(SK)的传统治疗方法包括先行前路脊柱松解融合术(ASF),随后进行后路脊柱融合内固定术(PSF)。然而,近来越来越多的趋势是仅采用后路手术来矫正这种畸形。我们研究的目的是比较ASF/PSF和单纯PSF手术治疗SK的临床和影像学结果。
在一项前瞻性临床和影像学回顾研究中,对两组30例接受手术的SK患者进行了评估。A组:ASF/PSF技术(n = 16),B组:单纯PSF手术(n = 14),随访至少2年(平均57.6个月)。两组在以下四个标准上匹配良好:平均年龄、柔韧性状况、后路融合节段以及术前Cobb角后凸角度。术前、术后及末次随访时评估奥斯维斯特残疾指数(ODI)、脊柱侧弯研究协会问卷-30(SRS-30)以及影像学参数(后凸矫正、矫正丢失、矢状面平衡)。
A组中,原发胸段Cobb角后凸、术后即刻后凸及末次随访时的后凸角度分别为83.6°、41.4°和43°(P < 0.05)。矫正率和矫正丢失分别为50.5%和1.6°±2.4。B组中,相应数值分别为81.9°、40.1°和43.2°(P < 0.05)。矫正率和矫正丢失分别为51%和3.1°±2.5。A组术前SRS-30和ODI评分分别平均为68.5和21.3,末次随访时分别为128.7和6.25。B组中,相应数值术前分别为64和23.2,末次随访时分别为133.5和5.8。
手术矫正后两组的临床和影像学参数相似,而ASF/PSF手术的并发症发生率、手术时间和失血量显著更高。
