Expandable cages for interbody fusion allow for in situ expansion optimizing fit while mitigating endplate damage. Studies comparing outcomes after using expandable or static cages have been conflicting.
This was a meta-analysis A systematic search was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines identifying studies reporting outcomes among patients who underwent minimally invasive lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-LIF).
Fourteen articles with 1129 patients met inclusion criteria. Compared with MIS-LIFs performed with static cages, those with expandable cages had a significantly lower incidence of graft subsidence (expandable: incidence 0.03, I 22.50%; static: incidence 0.27, I 51.03%, P interaction <0.001), length of hospital stay (expandable: mean difference [MD] 3.55 days, I 97%; static: MD 7.1 days, I 97%, P interaction <0.01), and a greater increase in disc height (expandable: MD -4.41 mm, I 99.56%; static: MD -0.79 mm, I 99.17%, P interaction = 0.02). There was no statistically significant difference among Oswestry Disability Index (expandable: MD -22.75, I 98.17%; static: MD -17.11, I 95.26%, P interaction = 0.15), fusion rate (expandable: incidence 0.94, I 0%; static incidence 0.92, I 0%, P interaction = 0.44), overall change in lumbar lordosis (expandable: MD 3.48 degrees, I 59.29%; static: MD 3.67 degrees, I 0.00%, P interaction 0.88), blood loss (expandable: MD 228.9 mL, I 100%; static: MD 261.1 mL, I 94%, P interaction = 0.69) and operative time (expandable: MD 184 minutes, I 95.32%; static: MD 150.4 minutes, I 91%, P interaction = 0.56).
Expandable interbody cages in MIS-LIF were associated with a decrease in subsidence rate, operative time and greater in increase in disc height.
用于椎间融合的可扩张 cage 可在优化贴合度的同时实现原位扩张,同时减轻终板损伤。比较使用可扩张 cage 和静态 cage 后结果的研究结果存在冲突。
这是一项荟萃分析,按照系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)指南进行了系统搜索,确定了报告接受微创腰椎椎间融合术(MIS-LIF)患者结果的研究。
14 篇文章共 1129 名患者符合纳入标准。与使用静态 cage 进行的 MIS-LIF 相比,使用可扩张 cage 的患者植骨下沉的发生率明显较低(可扩张:发生率 0.03,I 2 =22.50%;静态:发生率 0.27,I 2 =51.03%,P 交互作用 <0.001),住院时间较短(可扩张:平均差值[MD]3.55 天,I 97%;静态:MD 7.1 天,I 97%,P 交互作用 <0.01),椎间盘高度增加较大(可扩张:MD-4.41 毫米,I 99.56%;静态:MD-0.79 毫米,I 99.17%,P 交互作用 =0.02)。Oswestry 残疾指数(可扩张:MD-22.75,I 98.17%;静态:MD-17.11,I 95.26%,P 交互作用 =0.15)、融合率(可扩张:发生率 0.94,I 0%;静态发生率 0.92,I 0%,P 交互作用 =0.44)、腰椎前凸总体变化(可扩张:MD3.48 度,I 59.29%;静态:MD3.67 度,I 0.00%,P 交互作用 0.88)、出血量(可扩张:MD228.9 毫升,I 100%;静态:MD261.1 毫升,I 94%,P 交互作用 =0.69)和手术时间(可扩张:MD184 分钟,I 95.32%;静态:MD150.4 分钟,I 91%,P 交互作用 =0.56)之间无统计学意义。
在 MIS-LIF 中使用可扩张椎间 cage 可降低沉降率、手术时间,并增加椎间盘高度。
