Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A post-hoc analysis of a prospective cohort study. PURPOSE This study aimed to identify factors at the time of injury associated with declining activities of daily living (ADLs) in the chronic phase of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) managed conservatively. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Although a conservative approach is the treatment of choice for OVFs, ADLs do not improve or eventually decrease in some cases. However, the risk factors for ADL decline after the occurrence of OVFs, particularly the difference between those with or without initial bed rest, are unknown. METHODS A total of 224 consecutive patients with OVFs aged ≥65 years who received treatment within 2 weeks after the occurrence of injury were enrolled. The patients were followed up for 6 months thereafter. The criteria for evaluating the degree of independence were applied to evaluate ADLs. Multivariable analysis with a logistic regression model was performed to evaluate the risk factors for ADL decline. RESULTS In total, 49/224 patients (21.9%) showed a decline in ADLs. Of these, 23/116 patients (19.8%) in the rest group and 26/108 patients (24.1%) in the no-rest group experienced a decline in ADLs. In the logistic regression analyses, a diffuse low signal on T2- weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (odds ratio, 5.78; 95% confidence interval, 2.09-16.0; p=0.0007) and vertebral instability (odds ratio, 3.89; 95% confidence interval, 1.32-11.4; p=0.0135) were identified as independent factors in the rest and no-rest groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In patients with acute OVFs, a diffuse low signal on T2-weighted MRI and severe vertebral instability were independently associated with ADL decline in patients treated with and without initial bed rest, respectively.

Osteoporos Int 2024; 35:645-651. [PMID: 38108858 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06976-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
We conduct a longitudinal study to examine how new VCF alter spinal sagittal balance. New VCF increased SVA by an average of 2.8 cm. Sagittal balance deteriorates as a VCF develops in the lower lumbar spine. A new fracture below L1 increased the relative risk of a deterioration of sagittal balance 2.9-fold compared to one above Th12. PURPOSE Studies on the relationship between osteoporotic vertebral fractures and spinal sagittal balance have all been limited to cross-sectional studies. The aim of this study is to conduct a longitudinal study to examine how new vertebral compression fracture (VCF) alter spinal sagittal balance. METHODS Subjects were patients undergoing periodic examinations after treatment of a vertebral fracture or lumbar spinal canal stenosis. Forty patients who developed a new VCF were included in this study. Full-spine standing radiographs were compared before and after the fracture to examine changes in spinopelvic parameters and factors determining the changes in sagittal balance. RESULTS The mean age of the patients was 79.0 years. The mean interval between pre- and post-fracture radiographs was 22.7 months, and the mean time between development of a fracture and post-fracture radiographs was 4.6 months. After a fracture, sagittal vertical axis (SVA) increased an average of 2.78 cm and spino-sacral angle (SSA) decreased an average of 5.3°. Both ⊿SVA and ⊿SSA were not related to pre-fracture parameters. The wedge angle of the fractured vertebra was not related to changes in sagittal balance. ⊿SVA increased markedly in patients with a fracture of the lower lumbar vertebrae. receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that the relative risk of a deterioration of sagittal balance was 2.9 times higher for a new fracture below L1 than for a fracture above Th12. CONCLUSION New VCF increased SVA by an average of 2.8 cm. Sagittal balance deteriorates as a new fracture develops in the lower lumbar spine. Early intervention in osteoporosis is vital for the elderly.

Long-term outcomes of spine surgery in dialysis patients, focusing on activities of daily living, life expectancy, and the risk factors for postoperative mortality. J Orthop Sci 2024; 29:508-513. [PMID: 36894404 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2023.02.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2023] [Accepted: 02/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Because of the high incidence of major perioperative adverse events, spine surgery in dialysis patients should be recommended carefully after consideration of its risks and benefits. However, the benefits of spine surgery in dialysis patients remain unclear because of the lack of long-term outcomes. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the long-term outcomes of spine surgery in dialysis patients, focusing on activities of daily living (ADLs), life expectancy, and risk factors for postoperative mortality. METHODS Data for 65 dialysis patients who underwent spine surgery at our institution and were followed up for a mean duration of 6.2 years were retrospectively reviewed. ADLs, number of surgeries, and survival times were recorded. The postoperative survival rate was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and risk factors for postoperative mortality were investigated using a generalized Wilcoxon test and multivariate Cox proportional-hazards model. RESULTS Compared with preoperative ADLs, ADLs significantly improved at discharge after surgery and at the final follow-up. However, 16 of the 65 patients (24.6%) underwent multiple surgeries, and 34 (52.3%) died during the follow-up period. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the survival rate after spine surgery was 95.4% at 1 year, 86.2% at 3 years, 69.6% at 5 years, 59.7% at 7 years, and 28.7% at 10 years, and the overall median survival time was 99 months. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that a dialysis period of ≥10 years was a significant risk factor. CONCLUSIONS Spine surgery in dialysis patients improved and maintained ADLs in the long term and did not shorten life expectancy. However, dialysis patients undergoing spine surgery require multiple surgeries more frequently, and a dialysis period of ≥10 years is a significant risk factor for postoperative mortality.

Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion within Three-level for Patients with Neurological Symptoms due to Vertebral Fragility Fractures in the Lumbar Spine. Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo) 2023; 63:548-554. [PMID: 37853614 PMCID: PMC10788486 DOI: 10.2176/jns-nmc.2023-0064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 07/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/20/2023] Open
Abstract
There is a lack of agreement on whether minimally invasive lateral lumbar intervertebral fusion (LLIF) is a suitable treatment option for vertebral fragility fractures (VFFs). Hence, we sought to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LLIF in the management of VFF with neurological deficits in the lumbar spine. Between April 2015 and March 2020, we conducted a retrospective observational study of patients with VFF treated with three-level or less LLIF. The participants had previously received conservative treatment but had not been able to control their neurological symptoms. To assess the outcomes of the LLIF procedures, the patients were followed up for a minimum of 1 year. Clinical and radiological results, which include the timing and location of the bony fusion, were analyzed. The study involved 19 patients with 23 vertebral fracture levels. The residual height of the fractured vertebra was found to be 57.0 ± 12.3% of the height of the adjacent level. The mean Japanese Orthopedic Association score significantly improved postoperatively. Postoperative radiological parameters were significantly maintained at 1 year, and lumbar lordosis was maintained at the last follow-up (45.0 ± 26.7). In total 31 LLIF levels, bone fusion was observed in four levels at 6 months postoperatively, in 16 levels at 1 year, and in 23 levels at the last follow-up. The facet joint had the highest bony fusion location. LLIF within three levels can be safely performed in certain VFF cases with sufficient residual vertebral height.

Abstract
With an aging population, the osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) has become a constant concern for its physical and neurological complications, such as spinal kyphosis and refractory pains. Compared with traditional conservative treatments, the open surgery is more superior in some ways because of its direct decompression and correction. Various operation methods applying to different indications have been developed to deal with different fracture situations, including anterior, posterior, and combined surgery. In this review, we have concluded the latest developments of the surgery treating OVCF and the internal fixation as references for spinal surgeons of the choice of suitable treatments.

Abstract
Background Various operative procedures have been described for the treatment of traumatic paraplegia caused by unstable thoracolumbar fractures. We prospectively evaluated interbody fusion (IBF) with SS-PSF in these cases with regard to clinico-radiological outcome with the objectives: (1) Does IBF and short segment pedicle screw fixation (SS-PSF) prevent progression of kyphotic angle after surgery? (2) Can this procedure be safely performed in the setting of acute trauma?. Methods Sixteen patients suffering from traumatic paraplegia caused by acute unstable thoracolumbar fractures were enrolled prospectively and underwent IBF with SS-PSF. They were evaluated for magnitude of shortening in spine, progression of kyphotic angle, and neurological improvement by American spinal injury association scale (ASIA). Results Out of total sixteen, 14 patients were ASIA grade A and 2 were grade C, at the time of presentation. Thirteen out of these 14 remained grade A and one improved to B. Both the patients who had grade C involvement at the time of presentation improved to grade D at one-year follow-up. The mean blood loss was 750 ml (range; 650 ml-1150 ml). Mean kyphotic angle decreased from 20.6° (range; 13° to 37°) preoperatively to 6.2° (range; 3° to 10°) at postoperative day 2 (p = 0.002). Its mean value after 6 months was 6.5° (range; 3° to 11°). The procedure resulted in mean spinal column shortening of 18 mm (range; 16 mm-22 mm) in the spinal column. All the patients achieved bony union by a mean duration of 3.9 months (range; 3 months-6 months). Conclusions IBF with SS-PSF has the shortest possible instrumented construct for thoracolumbar junction fusion done by posterior approach. The interbody fusion for unstable thoracolumbar junction fractures prevents the progression of kyphotic angle post-operatively. Level of evidence Level 4.

Effect of adjuvant therapy with teriparatide in patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic vertebral fractures who underwent vertebroplasty with posterior spinal fusion. Sci Rep 2022; 12:8854. [PMID: 35614084 PMCID: PMC9133049 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-12655-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2021] [Accepted: 05/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Teriparatide (TPTD) administration has a potent osteogenic action and promotes the healing of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs). We aimed to investigate the outcomes of vertebroplasty with posterior spinal fusion (VP + PSF) and determine the impact of perioperative TPTD administration. We included 73 patients (18 male and 55 female patients; mean age: 78 years) with thoracolumbar OVFs who underwent VP + PSF and were followed-up for at least 2 years. Twenty-three patients who received TPTD perioperatively for > 3 months were included in the TPTD group, and the remaining 50 patients were included in the non-TPTD group. Radiographic findings regarding sagittal alignment and clinical outcomes in both groups were compared. The mean duration of TPTD administration was 17.5 ± 5.0 months (range 4–24 months). The mean loss of correction of local kyphosis angle in the TPTD group (4.0°) was lesser than that in the non-TPTD group (7.5°; p < 0.05); however, no significant differences were observed between the groups regarding global sagittal alignment, the occurrence of subsequent vertebral fractures, pedicle screw loosening and treatment-efficacy rates of clinical outcomes. Local kyphosis correction in patients who underwent VP + PSF for OVFs could be maintained through perioperative TPTD administration; however, TPTD administration had little effect on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
INTODUCTION Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) are common due to aging populations. Their clinical management remains controversial. Although conservative approaches are sufficient in most cases, there are certain conditions where decompression or fusion surgery are necessary. This manuscript aims to clarify the indications and types of surgeries for OVF. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A Medline and Pubmed search spanning the period between 2010 and 2020 was performed using the keywords "osteoporotic vertebral fractures and decompression surgery" and "osteoporotic vertebral fractures and fusion surgery". In addition, we reviewed up-to-date information on decompression and fusion in osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) to reach an agreement in two consensus meetings of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) Spine Committee that was held in January and February 2021. The Delphi method was utilized to improve the validity of the questionnaire. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS A total of 19 studies examining decompression and fusion surgery in OVF were reviewed. Literature supports the statement that decompression and fusion surgery are necessary for progressive neurological deficits after OVF. The Spine Section of the German Society for Orthopedics and Trauma (DGOU) classification revealed that it might help make surgical decisions. We also noted that in patients planning to undergo surgery to correct significant kyphosis after OVF, several techniques, including multilevel fixation, cement augmentation, preservation of sagittal balance, and avoiding termination at the apex of kyphosis are necessary to prevent complications. Additionally, it became clear that there is no consensus to choose the type of open surgery (anterior, posterior, combined, using cement or bone or vertebral body cage, the levels, and kind of instrumentation). The current literature indicated that implant failure in the osteoporotic spine is a common complication, and many techniques have been described to prevent implant failure in the osteoporotic spine. However, the superiority of one method over another is unclear. CONCLUSIONS Open surgery for osteoporotic vertebral fractures should be considered if neurologic deficits and significant painful kyphosis. The apparent indications of surgery and most ideal surgical technique for OVF remain unclear in the literature; therefore, the decision must be individualized.

Abstract
The combined anteroposterior fusion with vertebral body replacement (VBR) using a wide footplate expandable cage with a minimally invasive lateral approach has been widely used for pseudoarthrosis after osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the radiological results of combined anteroposterior surgery using VBR and to recommend the optimal procedure. Thirty-eight elderly patients were included in this study. The mean preoperative local kyphosis angle was 29.3°, and the mean correction loss angle was 6.3°. Cage subsidence was observed in ten patients (26.3%), and UIV or LIV fracture in twelve patients (31.6%). Patients with cage subsidence were compared to those without cage subsidence to determine the causal factors. The mean number of fixed vertebrae was 5.4 vertebrae with cage subsidence and 7.4 vertebrae without cage subsidence. In addition, to precisely clarify the optimal number of fixed vertebrae, those patients with two above–two below fixation were compared to those with less than two above–two below fixation, which revealed that the correction loss angle was significantly less in two above–two below fixation (p = 0.016). Based on these results, we recommend at least two above–two below fixation with VBR to minimize the correction loss angle and prevent cage subsidence.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to compare outcomes between lateral access vertebral reconstruction (LAVR) using a rectangular footplate cage and the conventional procedure using a cylindrical footplate cage in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). We included 46 patients who underwent anterior-posterior combined surgery for OVF: 24 patients underwent LAVR (Group L) and 22 underwent the conventional procedure (Group C). Preoperative, postoperative, and 1- and 2-year follow-up X-ray images were used to measure local lordotic angle, correction loss, and cage subsidence (>2 mm in vertebral endplate depression). In anterior surgery, the operation time was significantly shorter (183 vs. 248 min, p < 0.001) and the blood loss was significantly less (148 vs. 406 mL, p = 0.01) in Group L than in Group C. In Group C, two patients had anterior instrumentation failure. Correction loss was significantly smaller in Group L than in Group C (1.9° vs. 4.9° at 1 year, p = 0.02; 2.5° vs. 6.5° at 2 years, p = 0.04, respectively). Cage subsidence was significantly less in Group L than in Group C (29% vs. 80%, p < 0.001). LAVR using a rectangular footplate cage is an effective treatment for OVF to minimize surgical invasiveness and postoperative correction loss.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective observational study of a cohort of consecutive patients. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare surgical invasion, mechanical complications, and clinical and radiological outcomes 2 years after surgery between minimally invasive corpectomy following percutaneous pedicle screw placements (X-core/PPS) and posterior fixation with vertebroplasty (VP) for treating osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs), which failed conservative treatment due to neurological deficits. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Numerous studies have proposed surgical procedures to treat OVFs that fail conservative treatment. However, an optimal approach remains controversial because patients often have numerous comorbid medical complications, frequent instrumentation failure, and/or adjacent vertebral fracture (AVF). Recently, a minimally invasive lateral approach has attracted attention as an alternative procedure to the thoracolumbar junction for corpectomy and expandable cage replacement (X-Core Adjustable VBR System). However, its usefulness and validity is largely unknown. METHODS A cohort of 102 consecutive patients with OVF at T11-L1 who underwent surgery were followed up for >2 years after surgery. Ultimately 50 patients were included in the VP group and 45 in the X-core/PPS group. Surgical invasion, radiological examinations, and clinical outcomes between two procedures were compared. RESULTS Both X-core/PPS and VP procedures were safe and acceptable for neurological improvement and surgical invasion. The correction loss of local kyphotic angle (LKA) and occurrence of AVF were significantly less in the X-core/PPS group. Oswestry Disability Index in the X-core/PPS group at 2 years after surgery showed better recovery than that in the VP group, and no revision surgery was needed in the X-core/PPS group. Postoperative correction loss of LKA increased significantly when intraoperative endplate injury developed. CONCLUSION This next-generation minimally invasive anterior and posterior combined surgery was found to be a safe and useful procedure for OVF treatment to reduce correction loss, mechanical complication, and AVF, resulting in less postoperative low back pain.Level of Evidence: 3.

Abstract
Recently, an expandable cage equipped with rectangular footplates has been used for anterior vertebral replacement in osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). However, the postoperative changes in global alignment have not been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate local and global spinal alignment after anterior and posterior spinal fixation (APSF) using an expandable cage in elderly OVF patients. This retrospective multicenter review assessed 54 consecutive patients who underwent APSF for OVF. Clinical outcomes were compared between postoperative sagittal vertical axis (SVA) > 95 mm and ≤95 mm groups to investigate the impact of malalignment. SVA improved by only 18.7 mm (from 111.8 mm to 93.1 mm). VAS score of back pain at final follow-up was significantly higher in patients with SVA > 95 mm than SVA ≤ 95 mm (42.4 vs. 22.6, p = 0.007). Adjacent vertebral fracture after surgery was significantly more frequent in the SVA > 95 mm (37% vs. 11%, p = 0.038). Multiple logistic regression showed significantly increased OR for developing adjacent vertebral fracture (OR = 4.76, 95% CI 1.10–20.58). APSF using the newly developed cage improves local kyphotic angle but not SVA. The main cause for the spinal malalignment after surgery was postoperative development of adjacent vertebral fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Various reconstructive surgical procedures have been described for lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS) with osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC); however, the optimal surgery remains controversial. In this study, the authors aimed to report the clinical and radiographic outcomes of their novel, less invasive, short-segment anteroposterior combined surgery (APCS) that utilized oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) and posterior fusion without corpectomy to achieve decompression and reconstruction of anterior support in patients with LSCS-OVC. METHODS In this retrospective study, 20 patients with LSCS-OVC (mean age 79.6 years) underwent APCS and received follow-up for a mean of 38.6 months. All patients were unable to walk without support owing to severe low-back and leg pain. Cleft formations in the fractured vertebrae were identified on CT. APCS was performed on the basis of a novel classification of OVC into three types. In type A fractures with a collapsed rostral endplate, combined monosegment OLIF and posterior spinal fusion (PSF) were performed between the collapsed and rostral adjacent vertebrae. In type B fractures with a collapsed caudal endplate, combined monosegment OLIF and PSF were performed between the collapsed and caudal adjacent vertebrae. In type C fractures with severe collapse of both the rostral and caudal endplates, bisegment OLIF and PSF were performed between the rostral and caudal adjacent vertebrae, and pedicle screws were also inserted into the collapsed vertebra. Preoperative and postoperative clinical and radiographical status were reviewed. RESULTS The mean number of fusion segments was 1.6. Walking ability improved in all patients, and the mean Japanese Orthopaedic Association score for recovery rate was 65.7%. At 1 year postoperatively, the mean preoperative Oswestry Disability Index of 65.6% had significantly improved to 21.1%. The mean local lordotic angle, which was -5.9° preoperatively, was corrected to 10.5° with surgery and was maintained at 7.7° at the final follow-up. The mean corrective angle was 16.4°, and the mean correction loss was 2.8°. CONCLUSIONS The authors have proposed using minimally invasive, short-segment APCS with OLIF, tailored to the morphology of the collapsed vertebra, to treat LSCS-OVC. APCS achieves neural decompression, reconstruction of anterior support, and correction of local alignment.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of clinical and radiological parameters. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of transpedicular impaction bone grafting (TIBG) with long segmental posterior instrumentation for the treatment of stage III Kümmell disease. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The optimal treatment for stage III Kümmell disease remains controversial and unclear. Theoretically, transpedicular bone grafting can reconstruct anterior column support and reduce the failure of internal fixation, which is an intuitive method for the treatment of Kümmell disease. However, the use of this technique has rarely been reported for the treatment of this disease. This study reported the clinical and radiological results of TIBG with long segmental posterior instrumentation for the treatment of stage III Kümmell disease. METHODS Between August 2011 and December 2017, we retrospectively analyzed 24 patients with stage III Kümmell disease who underwent TIBG with long segmental posterior instrumentation. Anterior vertebral heights, kyphotic Cobb angle, visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale were used to evaluate the effects of surgery. RESULTS The mean time to follow-up was 38.1 ± 10.2 months. The average operative duration was 136 ± 16.5 minutes, and the average intraoperative blood loss was 293 ± 41.3 mL. The VAS, ODI, anterior vertebral heights, and kyphotic Cobb angles were improved significantly at 1 week after surgery compared the preoperative examinations, and were well maintained at the final follow-up evaluation. Fourteen patients (58%) had mild neurological impairments before surgery, with neurological function returning to normal at the final follow-up evaluation. There was no instance of instrumentation failure. CONCLUSION TIBG combined with long segmental posterior instrumentation is a safe and effective surgical option for stage III Kümmell disease.Level of Evidence: 4.

Purpose Various surgical methods have been reported for Kummell's disease with neurologic deficits. The aim of this study was to introduce long-segmental posterior fusion (LPF) combined with vertebroplasty (VP) and wiring as an alternative surgical technique. Material and Methods We retrospectively analyzed 10 patients undergoing posterior decompression and LPF combined with VP and wiring for Kummell's disease with neurologic deficits from January 2011 to December 2014. The radiologic outcomes included the local kyphotic angle (LKA) and segmental kyphotic angle (SKA). Clinical outcomes, including the visual analog scale (VAS), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the Frankel grade were assessed. Surgery-related complications were also evaluated. Results The mean age of the included patients was 77 ± 8 years with a mean follow-up period of 31.4 ± 4.9 months and a mean bone mineral density of -3.5 ± 0.7 (T-score). The mean operation time was 220 ± 32.3 minutes with a mean blood loss of 555 ± 125.7 mL. The preoperative LKA and SKA were significantly corrected postoperatively (37.9 ± 8.7° vs. 15.3 ± 5.3°, p = 0.005 for LKA; 21.3 ± 5.1° vs. 7.6 ± 2.8°, p = 0.005 for SKA) without a loss of correction at the last follow-up. The VAS and ODI were also significantly improved (7.7 ± 1.1 vs. 3.0 ± 1.6, p = 0.007 for VAS; 90.3 ± 8.9 vs. 49.6 ± 22.7, p = 0.007 for ODI). The Frankel grade of all patients was improved by at least 1 or 2 grades at the last follow-up. Surgery-related complications such as intraoperative cement leakage and implant loosening during the follow-up were not observed. Conclusions LPF combined with VP and wiring might be an effective surgical option for Kummell's disease with neurologic deficits, especially for the elderly patients with morbidities.

Differences in surgical outcome after anterior corpectomy and reconstruction with an expandable cage with rectangular footplates between thoracolumbar and lumbar osteoporotic vertebral fracture. NORTH AMERICAN SPINE SOCIETY JOURNAL (NASSJ) 2021; 6:100071. [PMID: 35141636 PMCID: PMC8819965 DOI: 10.1016/j.xnsj.2021.100071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Revised: 05/16/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Background Anterior and posterior spinal fixation (APSF) can provide rigid structural anterior column support in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). A new rectangular footplate designed based on biomechanical studies of endplates provides better resistance to subsidence. However, differences in characteristics exist between the thoracolumbar and lower lumbar spine. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes following APSF using an expandable cage with rectangular footplates in the thoracolumbar/lumbar region. Methods Consecutive patients who underwent APSF for OVF at multiple centers were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed by dividing the patients into thoracolumbar (TL, T10–L2) and lumbar (L, L3–L5) groups. Surgical indications were incomplete neurologic deficit or intractable back pain with segmental spinal instability. Surgical outcomes including the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and reoperation rate were compared between TL and L groups. Results Sixty-nine patients were followed-up for more than 12 months and analyzed. Operative intervention was required for 35 patients in the TL group and 34 patients in the L group. Mean ages in the TL and L groups were 76.5 years and 75.1 years, respectively. Intra-vertebral instability was more frequent in the TL group (p<0.001). Screw fixation range was significantly longer in the TL group (p=0.012). The rate of cage subsidence did not differ significantly between the TL group (46%) and L group (44%). Reoperation rate tended to be higher in the TL group (p=0.095). Improvement ratio of JOA score was significantly better in the L group (60%) than in the TL group (46.9%, p=0.029). Conclusion APSF using an expandable cage was effective to treat OVF at both lumbar and thoracolumbar levels. However, the improvement ratio of the JOA score was better in the L group than in the TL group.

Abstract
Purpose The current study aimed to compare the clinical and radiographic results of the 3D-printed artificial vertebral body (3DP-AVB) and titanium mesh cage (TMC) for the treatment of Kümmell’s disease (KD) complicated by neurological deficits. Patients and Methods From January 2014 to July 2018, 28 consecutive patients diagnosed with KD and nerve injuries in our department were treated by posterior vertebral column resection and internal fixation. The patients were divided into two groups (3DP-AVB group and TMC group) based on the different anterior column reconstruction implants. Clinical and radiographic parameters were used to evaluate the outcomes. Results The two groups achieved excellent clinical and radiographic results 1 month after surgery with no significant difference (P>0.05), while 3DP-AVB group showed better outcomes compared with TMC group during the follow-up after 6 months (P<0.05). The risk of subsidence in 3DP-AVB group was lower than that in TMC group (41.6% vs 87.5%, P<0.05), and severe subsidence (≥5 mm) was correlated with the recurrence of back pain and bad daily life function. No significant difference was found in the improvement of neurological function between the two groups (P>0.05). The blood loss and operation time in 3DP-AVB group were significantly less than both in TMC group (P<0.05). Conclusion The lower incidence of cage subsidence, with a better long-term efficacy in maintaining the height of the fused segment, relieving back pain, and improving daily life function indicates that the 3DP-AVB may be a superior alternative for KD with neurological deficits.

Abstract
BACKGROUD Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are often associated with delayed myelopathy. Surgical treatment of delayed myelopathy following an OVCF comprises spinal canal decompression and stable fixation of the vertebral column with an acceptable sagittal alignment. However, such surgical methods are not usually feasible because of medical comorbidities and osteoporosis. We devised a novel, simple technique to decompress the spinal canal and reconstruct the middle column by translating the fractured vertebral body anteriorly through a posterior approach and verified the validity of the new technique. METHODS We conducted a single-center, retrospective study. Patients who underwent vertebral body anterior translation (VBaT) between 2014 and 2017 due to delayed myelopathy after OVCFs were included. Through a posterior approach, discs between the fractured vertebra and the adjacent vertebrae were released. The fractured vertebra was translated anteriorly with pedicle screws and rods to realign the middle column. Radiological and functional improvement was analyzed. RESULTS There were 12 consecutive patients. The mean age was 70.3 ± 9.4 years. There were 8 female and 4 male patients. Follow-up period was 35.9 ± 13.1 months. Nine patients had pedicle screw augmentation with polymethyl methacrylate. The mean number of fusion segments was 3.4 (range, 2-4). There were 3 types of spinal canal invasion. Five patients had vertebral body vacuum clefts with posterior wall fractures. Five patients had vertebral body angulation with endplate protrusion. Two patients had 3 column fractures. In radiological analysis, the regional kyphotic angle was 35.1° ± 9.1° preoperatively and improved to 8.8° ± 6.8° postoperatively and 9.8° ± 6.1° at the final follow-up (p < 0.001). The anterior vertebral body height ratio was 27.6% ± 7.0% preoperatively and improved to 80.5% ± 13.7% postoperatively and 83.7% ± 12.5% at the final follow-up (p < 0.001). The spinal canal invasion ratio was 52.6% ± 9.1% preoperatively and improved to 25.2% ± 10.4% postoperatively (p < 0.001). Neurological deficit was improved in all patients by 1-3 grades according to Nurick's grading system. CONCLUSIONS In delayed myelopathy following an OVCF, although the posterior cortex invades the spinal canal, it is usually already in the union state. Therefore, it can bear compression force as a middle column if realigned to be in line with the adjoining vertebrae. VBaT demonstrated satisfactory reduction of kyphosis and maintenance of stability until the last follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to present early clinical and radiological outcomes of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPSF) combined with vertebroplasty (VP) in the treatment of Kümmell's disease with intravertebral instability. METHODS In this study, 21 consecutive patients (4 male and 17 female; mean age = 75.6 years; age range=65-86 years) who suffered from stage II and III Kümmell's disease with intravertebral instability were prospectively recruited from 2012 to 2016 and treated with PPSF combined with VP. The Cobb angle (CA) or wedge angle (WA) in both flexion and extension positions was measured using lateral radiographs, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging. In addition to these radiological parameters, clinical outcome measures, including the visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were collected preoperatively; 1 week and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively; and then annually. Complications were also recorded. RESULTS The mean follow-up was 19.3 (range=12-36) months. The mean operating time was 135.4 (range, 110-175) min, and the mean estimated blood loss was 106.9 (range, 50-165) mL. The mean VAS score and ODI significantly decreased from 7.7±1.1 and 65.3%±7.7% preoperatively to 3.4±0.6 and 30.0%±7.6% postoperatively, respectively (p<0.05). At the final follow-up, the mean VAS score and ODI were 2.5±0.8 and 21.5%±8.8%, respectively (p>0.05). CA and WA significantly decreased from 26.9°±9.7° and 21.3°±6.0° preoperatively to 12.7°±7.2° to 8.6°±4.5° postoperatively, respectively (p<0.05). At the final follow-up, CA was 4.2°±2.0°, and WA was 4.7°±1.8° (p>0.05). No major complications were encountered during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION PPSF combined with VP seems to be an effective surgical option for the treatment of Kümmell's disease with intravertebral instability. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, Therapeutic study.

Factors affecting postoperative mortality of patients with insufficient union following osteoporotic vertebral fractures and impact of preoperative serum albumin on mortality.

[PMID: 32778080 PMCID: PMC7418372 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-020-03564-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2019] [Accepted: 08/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Numerous comparative studies of surgical procedures have focused on clinical and radiographical outcomes, as well as the effect of bone fragility on the outcome of spinal surgery; however, insights concerning a risk of mortality or morbidity have been limited. Additionally, the effect of surgical therapy on survival after vertebral compression fractures remains controversial. Our aim was to evaluate the preoperative factors that affected the long-term survival of patients who underwent spinal surgery for an insufficient union following osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF) and to determine postoperative mortality. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the cases of 105 consecutive patients who underwent spinal surgery for OVF. Mortality was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and a log-rank test. The preoperative backgrounds of patients were analyzed to determine which risk factors led to death among the OVF cases. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate survival based on preoperative albumin levels of ≤3.5 g/dL (hypoalbuminemia) versus > 3.5 mg/dL. Results The mean follow-up time was 4.1 ± 0.8 years. Two years after surgery, percentage of patients who had died was 15%. The VAS scores and modified Frankel classification were significantly improved one year after surgery. The ratio of male-to-female was significantly higher for patients with OVF who died than for those who were still alive. No significant difference in mortality was observed among surgical procedures for OVF. The univariate analysis showed that male gender, serum albumin < 3.5 g/dl, creatinine clearance< 60 mg/dl, and the American Society of Anesthesiologists classificat0ion ≥3 were significant risk factors for postoperative mortality. Multivariate analysis revealed that only serum albumin ≤3.5 g/dL was a significant risk factor for long-term postoperative mortality of patients with OVF. Conclusions Preoperative hypoalbuminemia was associated with postoperative mortality following surgery for OVF. Level of evidence Level 3.

Abstract
Background Vertebroplasty with posterior spinal fusion (VP + PSF) is one of the most widely accepted surgical techniques for treating osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC). Nevertheless, the effect of the extent of fusion on surgical outcomes remains to be established. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of short- versus long-segment VP + PSF for OVC with neurological impairment in thoracolumbar spine. Methods We retrospectively collected data from 133 patients (median age, 77 years; 42 men and 91 women) from 27 university hospitals and their affiliated hospitals. We divided patients into two groups: a short-segment fusion group (S group) with 2- or 3-segment fusion (87 patients) and a long-segment fusion group (L group) with 4- through 6-segment fusion (46 patients). Surgical invasion, clinical outcomes, local kyphosis angle (LKA), and complications were evaluated. Results No significant differences between the two groups were observed in terms of neurological recovery, pain scale scores, and complications. Surgical time was shorter and blood loss was less in the S group, whereas LKA at the final follow-up and correction loss were superior in the L group. Conclusion Although less invasiveness and validity of pain and neurological relief are secured by short-segment VP + PSF, surgeons should be cautious regarding correction loss.

Vertebroplasty with posterior spinal fusion for osteoporotic vertebral fracture using computer-assisted rod contouring system: A new minimally invasive technique. Int J Surg Case Rep 2020; 72:301-305. [PMID: 32563090 PMCID: PMC7305354 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijscr.2020.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Surgical treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) is challenging. A new minimally invasive technique of posterior spinal fusion was performed for OVF. This technique would be beneficial for elderly or immunocompromised patients.
Introduction Surgical treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) has been challenging for spine surgeons, because there are potential risks of instrumentation failure; such as screw loosening, loss of correction, or pseudarthrosis, due to bone fragility in elderly patients with several comorbidities. Presentation of case A 68-year-old female presented with a severe low back pain and bilateral thigh pain. She had a history of systemic scleroderma, which was complicated by interstitial lung disease. Although she initially underwent non-surgical treatment with bracing for 7 months, her symptoms had progressively deteriorated, and her radiographs showed non-union at L1 and progressive kyphotic deformity at the thoracolumbar spine. Because an anterior approach was inadvisable due to interstitial lung disease, vertebroplasty with posterior spinal fusion was performed using percutaneous pedicle screws (PPS) at the upper most and lowest instrumented vertebra combined with sublaminar taping and computer-assisted rod contouring system. Good bony union was achieved with no screw loosening at 1-year follow-up. Discussion Various surgical procedures have been applied according to the fracture type or medical condition of the patient. Minimally invasive posterior spinal fusion would be a less invasive approach in patients with poor medical condition. PPS can prevent the excessive dissection of paravertebral muscles, and this is especially advantageous at the proximal and distal end of long constructs. A recent computer-assisted rod contouring system accurately matches each screw head resulting in reduced strength of the screw-bone interface. Conclusion This technique would be beneficial in the elderly or immunocompromised patients with OVF.

Activities of Daily Living after Surgical Treatment for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fracture with or without Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis: A Retrospective Single-Institutional Study. Asian Spine J 2020; 14:847-856. [PMID: 32460468 PMCID: PMC7788374 DOI: 10.31616/asj.2019.0372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2019] [Accepted: 01/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Study Design This investigation was a retrospective observational study. Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate whether having diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) as a comorbidity affects the patient’s ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) after surgical treatment for osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). Overview of Literature A few studies have extensively evaluated elderly patients with comorbidities such as DISH and OVF-induced persistent back pain and their ability to perform ADL postoperatively. Methods In this study, 63 patients (21 men and 42 women) who underwent surgical treatment for OVF were enrolled. Of these patients, 26 had DISH (D+) and 37 did not have DISH (D-). Patient demographic characteristics and surgical, clinical, and radiological findings were compared between those with and without DISH. The change in their ability to perform ADL after surgery was also evaluated. Results Age, number of comorbidities, and 1-year mortality rate were significantly higher in the D+ group (p<0.05). Postoperative Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores were significantly higher in patients with impaired (n=6, p=0.04) abilities to perform ADL, and improvements in VAS scores were significantly higher in patients with unchanged abilities to perform ADL (n=54, p=0.03) after surgery. The average postoperative VAS scores were 2.2 for the D+ group and 2.3 for the D- group, which were not significantly different. Conclusions The frequency of OVF with DISH was higher in elderly men with multiple comorbidities and contributed to a higher 1-year mortality rate than those in patients without DISH. However, preoperative and postoperative VAS scores and improvements in VAS scores were similar between those with and without DISH. Postoperative impaired ability to perform ADL was associated with old age, high postoperative VAS scores, and little improvements in VAS scores, which were limitedly influenced by DISH. Surgical treatment of OVF combined with DISH is effective and appropriate for elderly patients.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Systematic literature review with meta-analysis. OBJECTIVE Osteoporosis is common in elderly patients, who frequently suffer from spinal fractures or degenerative diseases and often require surgical treatment with spinal instrumentation. Diminished bone quality impairs primary screw purchase, which may lead to loosening and its sequelae, in the worst case, revision surgery. Information about the incidence of spinal instrumentation-related complications in osteoporotic patients is currently limited to individual reports. We conducted a systematic literature review with the aim of quantifying the incidence of screw loosening in osteoporotic spines. METHODS Publications on spinal instrumentation of osteoporotic patients reporting screw-related complications were identified in 3 databases. Data on screw loosening and other local complications was collected. Pooled risks of experiencing such complications were estimated with random effects models. Risk of bias in the individual studies was assessed with an adapted McHarm Scale. RESULTS From 1831 initial matches, 32 were eligible and 19 reported screw loosening rates. Studies were heterogeneous concerning procedures performed and risk of bias. Screw loosening incidences were variable with a pooled risk of 22.5% (95% CI 10.8%-36.6%, 95% prediction interval [PI] 0%-81.2%) in reports on nonaugmented screws and 2.2% (95% CI 0.0%-7.2%, 95% PI 0%-25.1%) in reports on augmented screws. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this meta-analysis suggest that screw loosening incidences may be considerably higher in osteoporotic spines than with normal bone mineral density. Screw augmentation may reduce loosening rates; however, this requires confirmation through clinical studies. Standardized reporting of prespecified complications should be enforced by publishers.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) is the most common osteoporotic fracture, and some patients require surgical intervention to improve their impaired activities of daily living with neurological deficits. However, many previous reports have focused on OVF around the thoracolumbar junction, and the surgical outcomes of lumbar OVF have not been thoroughly discussed. We aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes for lumbar OVF with a neurological deficit. Methods Patients who underwent fusion surgery for thoracolumbar OVF with a neurological deficit were enrolled at 28 institutions. Clinical information, comorbidities, perioperative complications, Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores, visual analog scale scores, and radiographic parameters were compared between patients with lower lumbar fracture (L3-5) and those with thoracolumbar junction fracture (T10-L2). Each patient with lower lumbar fracture (L group) was matched with to patients with thoracolumbar junction fracture (T group). Results A total 403 patients (89 males and 314 females, mean age: 73.8 ± 7.8 years, mean follow-up: 3.9 ± 1.7 years) were included in this study. Lower lumbar OVF was frequently found in patients with lower bone mineral density. After matching, mechanical failure was more frequent in the L group (L group: 64%, T group: 39%; p < 0.001). There was no difference between groups in the clinical and radiographical outcomes, although the rates of complication and revision surgery were still high in both groups. Conclusions The surgical intervention for OVF is effective in patients with myelopathy or radiculopathy regardless of the surgical level, although further study is required to improve clinical and radiographical outcomes.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate clinico-radiological outcomes of posterior surgery (decompression + instrumentation + transpedicular bone graft) in osteoporotic burst fracture associated with neurological deficit [OFND]. Materials and Methods Forty patients with neurological deficit due to delayed osteoporotic vertebral collapse managed by posterior surgery (decompression + instrumentation + transpedicular bone graft) with minimum 2 years follow-up were included in the study. Approval from the Institutional Review Board was taken. Demographic data (age, sex, mode of injury, and the severity of osteoporosis); clinical parameters (Visual Analog Score [VAS], Oswestry Disability Index [ODI], Frankel grade), radiological parameters (local kyphosis), and surgical variables (blood loss, surgery duration, and intraoperative events) were recorded. Neurological worsening/improvement, complications, and implant failures were noted. Results Significant improvement was noted in VAS (preoperative 8.20 ± 0.65/postoperative 4.1 ± 0.64) and ODI (preoperative 76.54 ± 6.96/postoperative 30.5 ± 6.56). Complete neurological recovery was noted in 37 patients (Frankel Grade E), three patients remained nonambulatory (Frankel Grade C). Significant improvement was noted in local kyphosis angle (preoperative = 21.80 ± 2.70; postoperative 11.40 ± 1.80), with 10% loss of correction (2.5 ± 0.90) at final follow-up. Symptomatic implant failure was noted in two patients and proximal junctional failure in one patient requiring an extension of fixation. Conclusions OFND can be managed with a single posterior-only surgery with significant improvement in neurology and functional scores of patients. Aggressive kyphosis correction is often not required and optimal correction of kyphosis is noticed due to prone-positioning alone. Transpedicular grafting is safe and simple alternative to cement augmentation or anterior surgery for collapsed vertebrae.

J Orthop Surg Res 2019; 14:413. [PMID: 31806033 PMCID: PMC6894466 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-019-1498-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2019] [Accepted: 11/27/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effect of the second puncture and injection technique during a percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) procedure. METHODS Patients treated with a second puncture and injection (group A) or a single puncture and injection (group B) during PVP at our institution during 2010-2017 were reviewed. Vertebral height loss, visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry disability index (ODI), adjacent vertebral fractures, and cement leakage were compared between the groups. RESULTS A total of 193 patients were enrolled (86 cases in group A, 107 cases in group B). The follow-up period was 15.64 (12-20) months. The loss of anterior (group A 0.01 ± 0.03; group B 0.14 ± 0.17) and middle (group A 0.13 ± 0.12; group B 0.16 ± 0.11) vertebral height in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P < 0.05). The VAS score and ODI were also significantly higher in group B than in group A at the final follow-up; the VAS score and ODI in group B were 1.65 ± 0.70 and 14.50 ± 4.16, respectively, and those in group A were 1.00 ± 0.74 and 12.81 ± 4.02, respectively (P < 0.05). Three patients in group A and two in group B experienced adjacent vertebral fractures. Regarding mild, moderate, and severe cement leakage, there were 25 (29%), 5 (5%), and 0 cases, respectively, in group A and 28 (26%), 3 (2.8%), and 1 (0.009%) case, respectively, in group B (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The second puncture and injection technique may effectively increase the dispersion of cement, thus preventing recompression of the cemented vertebral body, and it does not increase the risk of cement leakage or adjacent vertebral fracture.

Complications after spinal fixation surgery for osteoporotic vertebral collapse with neurological deficits: Japan Association of Spine Surgeons with ambition multicenter study. J Orthop Sci 2019; 24:985-990. [PMID: 31521452 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2019.08.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2019] [Revised: 08/20/2019] [Accepted: 08/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been few reports on the incidence and risk factors of the complications after spinal fixation surgery for osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC) with neurological deficits. This study aimed to identify the incidence and risk factors of the complications after OVC surgery. METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, a total of 403 patients (314 women and 89 men; mean age 73.8 years) who underwent spinal fixation surgery for OVC with neurological deficits between 2005 and 2014 were enrolled. Data on patient demographics were collected, including age, sex, body mass index, smoking, steroid use, medical comorbidities, and surgical procedures. All postoperative complications that occurred within 6 weeks were recorded. Patients were classified into two groups, namely, complication group and no complication group, and risk factors for postoperative complications were investigated by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Postoperative complications occurred in 57 patients (14.1%), and the most common complication was delirium (5.7%). In the univariate analysis, the complication group was found to be older (p = 0.039) and predominantly male (p = 0.049), with higher occurrence rate of liver disease (p = 0.001) and Parkinson's disease (p = 0.039) compared with the no-complication group. In the multivariate analysis, the significant independent risk factors were age (p = 0.021; odds ratio [OR] 1.051, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.007-1.097), liver disease (p < 0.001; OR 8.993, 95% CI 2.882-28.065), and Parkinson's disease (p = 0.009; OR 3.636, 95% CI 1.378-9.599). CONCLUSIONS Complications after spinal fixation surgery for OVC with neurological deficits occurred in 14.1%. Age, liver disease, and Parkinson's disease were demonstrated to be independent risk factors for postoperative complications.

Surgical outcomes of spinal fusion for osteoporotic vertebral fracture in the thoracolumbar spine: Comprehensive evaluations of 5 typical surgical fusion techniques. J Orthop Sci 2019; 24:1020-1026. [PMID: 31445858 DOI: 10.1016/j.jos.2019.07.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2019] [Revised: 06/20/2019] [Accepted: 07/23/2019] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A consensus on the optimal surgical procedure for thoracolumbar OVF has yet to be reached due to the previous relatively small number of case series. The study was conducted to investigate surgical outcomes for osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) in the thoracolumbar spine. METHODS In total, 315 OVF patients (mean age, 74 years; 68 men and 247 women) with neurological symptoms who underwent spinal fusion with a minimum 2-year follow-up were included. The patients were divided into 5 groups by procedure: anterior spinal fusion alone (ASF group, n = 19), anterior/posterior combined fusion (APSF group, n = 27), posterior spinal fusion alone (PSF group, n = 40), PSF with 3-column osteotomy (3CO group, n = 92), and PSF with vertebroplasty (VP + PSF group, n = 137). RESULTS Mean operation time was longer in the APSF group (p < 0.05), and intraoperative blood loss was lower in the VP + PSF group (p < 0.05). The amount of local kyphosis correction was greater in the APSF and 3CO groups (p < 0.05). Clinical outcomes were approximately equivalent among all groups. CONCLUSION All 5 procedures resulted in acceptable neurological outcomes and functional improvement in walking ability. Moreover, they were similar with regard to complication rates, prevalence of mechanical failure related to the instrumentation, and subsequent vertebral fracture. Individual surgical techniques can be adapted to suit patient condition or severity of OVF.

The factors related to the poor ADL in the patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture after instrumentation surgery. EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL : OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE EUROPEAN SPINE SOCIETY, THE EUROPEAN SPINAL DEFORMITY SOCIETY, AND THE EUROPEAN SECTION OF THE CERVICAL SPINE RESEARCH SOCIETY 2019; 29:1597-1605. [PMID: 31401687 DOI: 10.1007/s00586-019-06092-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2019] [Revised: 06/02/2019] [Accepted: 07/31/2019] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) with nonunion or neurological deficit may be a candidate for surgical treatment. However, some patients do not show improvement as expected. Therefore, we conducted a nationwide multicenter study to determine the predictors for postoperative poor activity of daily living (ADL) in patients with OVF. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the case histories of 309 patients with OVF who underwent surgery. To determine the factors predicting postoperative poor ADL, uni- and multivariate statistical analyses were performed. RESULTS The frequency of poor ADL at final follow-up period was 9.1%. In univariate analysis, preoperative neurological deficit (OR, 4.1; 95% CI, 1.8-10.3; P < 0.001), perioperative complication (OR, 3.4; P = 0.006), absence of preoperative bone-modifying agent (BMA) administration (OR, 2.7; P = 0.03), and absence of postoperative recombinant human parathyroid hormone (rPTH) administration (OR, 3.9; P = 0.006) were significantly associated. In multivariate analysis, preoperative neurological deficit (OR, 4.6; P < 0.001), perioperative complication (OR, 3.4; P = 0.01), and absence of postoperative rPTH administration (OR, 3.9; P = 0.02) showed statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative neurological deficit, perioperative complication, and absence of postoperative rPTH administration were considered as predictors for postoperative poor ADL in patients with OVF. Neurological deficits and complications are often inevitable factors; therefore, rPTH is an important option for postoperative treatment for OVF.

Endplate and intervertebral disc injuries in acute and single level osteoporotic vertebral fractures: is there any association with the process of bone healing? BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2019; 20:336. [PMID: 31324243 PMCID: PMC6642561 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-019-2719-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2018] [Accepted: 07/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The endplate-intervertebral disc (IVD) complex is closely interrelated with the vertebral body (VB) in the structural integrity of the anterior spinal column, including biomechanical and biological functions. Endplate and IVD injuries are usually found in association with vertebral fractures (VFs); however, little is known about their relevance to the healing of osteoporotic VFs (OVFs). The first purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and occurrence pattern of endplate and IVD injuries associated with single- and acute-OVFs, and the second was to evaluate the influence of endplate and IVD injuries on the occurrence of delayed union. Methods Endplate and IVD injuries associated with single- and acute-OVFs were retrospectively evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Vertebrae of 168 patients were included in the study. The occurrence rate and type of endplate and IVD injuries were radiologically evaluated, and the association between endplate and IVD injuries was statistically analyzed. Vertebrae of 85 patients, who received conservative treatment for acute OVFs, were included in the study and classified into two groups, union and delayed union, at 6 months after injury. To identify factors predicting delayed union, uni- and multivariate statistical analyses were performed. Vertebral MRI signal alternation patterns and endplate and IVD injuries were included as candidate factors in the logistic model. Results In association with OVFs, endplate injuries were observed in 103 of the 168 vertebrae (61%), and IVDs lesions were observed in 101 of 168 OVFs (60%); the occurrence of both injuries was significantly associated. Although no significant association with endplate and IVD injuries was identified, multivariate analysis demonstrated that intravertebral signal alternation (focal high signal intensity) and posterior wall injury were independent risk factors that predicted delayed union. Conclusions The results of this study showed that endplate and IVD injuries were found in approximately 60% of single and acute OVFs. These results suggest that fracture healing of OVFs would be mainly attributed to vertebral factors, including mechanical stress and metabolic status, among the three components of the anterior spinal column.

Effects of Weekly Teriparatide Administration for Vertebral Stability and Bony Union in Patients with Acute Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures. Asian Spine J 2019; 13:763-771. [PMID: 31000686 PMCID: PMC6774000 DOI: 10.31616/asj.2018.0311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2018] [Accepted: 02/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Study Design An open-label, non-randomized prospective study. Purpose Teriparatide (TPTD) is known to be an antiosteoporotic agent that may accelerate the healing of fractures. This study was designed to investigate the effect of once-weekly TPTD administration on vertebral stability and bony union after acute osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). Overview of Literature Once-weekly TPTD administration can lead to early vertebral stability and promote bony union of fractured vertebrae in patients with severe osteoporosis. Methods Forty-eight subjects with acute OVF were assigned to receive activated vitamin D3 and calcium supplementation or onceweekly subcutaneous injection of TPTD (56.5 μg) in combination with activated vitamin D3 and calcium supplementation for 12 weeks. Vertebral stability was assessed using lateral plain radiography. Vertebral height at the anterior location (VHa) and the difference in VHa {ΔVHa=VHa (supine position)−VHa (weight-bearing position)} were measured at baseline and 12 weeks after starting treatment. Bony union was defined as the absence of a vertebral cleft or abnormal motion (ΔVHa >2 mm). Results Although not significant, ΔVHa, indicating vertebral stability, tended to be lower in the TPTD group at 12 weeks (p =0.17). As for subjects with severe osteoporosis, ΔVHa at 12 weeks was significantly lower in the TPTD group than in the control group (mean ΔVHa: control group, 3.1 mm (n=15); TPTD group, 1.4 mm (n=16); p =0.02). The rate of bony union was significantly higher in the TPTD group than in the control group (control group, 40%; TPTD group, 81%; p =0.03). Conclusions Once-weekly TPTD administration may facilitate early bony union after acute OVF accompanied by severe osteoporosis.

Abstract
Introduction The prevalence of patients with osteoporosis continues to increase in aging societies, including Japan. The first choice for managing osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVF) is conservative treatment. Failure in conservative treatment for OVF may lead to non-union or vertebral collapse, resulting in neurological deficit and subsequently requiring surgical intervention. This multicenter nationwide study in Japan was conducted to comprehensively understand the outcomes of surgical treatments for OVF non-union. Methods This multicenter, retrospective study included 403 patients (89 males, 314 females, mean age 73.8 ± 7.8 years, mean follow-up 3.9 ± 1.7 years) with neurological deficit due to vertebral collapse or non-union after OVF at T10-L5 who underwent fusion surgery with a minimum 1-year follow-up. Radiological and clinical outcomes at baseline and at the final follow-up (FU) were evaluated. Results OVF was present at a thoracolumbar junction such as T12 (124 patients) and L1 (117 patients). A majority of OVF occurred after a minor trauma, such as falling down (55.3%) or lifting objects (8.4%). Short segment fusion, including affected vertebra, was conducted (mean 4.0 ± 2.0 vertebrae) with 256.8 minutes of surgery and 676.1 g of blood loss. A posterior approach was employed in 86.6% of the patients, followed by a combined anterior and posterior (8.7%), and an anterior (4.7%) approach. Perioperative complications and implant failures were observed in 18.1% and 41.2%, respectively. VAS scores of low back pain (74.7 to 30.8 mm) and leg pain (56.8 to 20.7 mm) improved significantly at FU. Preoperatively, 52.6% of the patients were unable to walk and the rate of non-ambulatory patients decreased to 7.5% at FU. Conclusions This study demonstrated that substantial improvement in activity of daily living (ADL) was achieved by fusion surgery. Although there was a considerable rate of complications, fusion surgery is beneficial for elderly OVF patients with non-union.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, there have been little published data on surgical outcomes for patients with PD with thoracolumbar OVF. We conducted a retrospective multicenter study of registry data to investigate the outcomes of fusion surgery for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) with osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF) in the thoracolumbar junction. METHODS Retrospectively registered data were collected from 27 universities and their affiliated hospitals in Japan. In total, 26 patients with PD (mean age, 76 years; 3 men and 23 women) with thoracolumbar OVF who underwent spinal fusion with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up were included (PD group). Surgical invasion, perioperative complications, radiographic sagittal alignment, mechanical failure (MF) related to instrumentation, and clinical outcomes were evaluated. A control group of 296 non-PD patients (non-PD group) matched for age, sex, distribution of surgical procedures, number of fused segments, and follow-up period were used for comparison. RESULTS The PD group showed higher rates of perioperative complications (p < 0.01) and frequency of delirium than the non-PD group (p < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the degree of kyphosis correction, frequency of MF, visual analog scale of the symptoms, and improvement according to the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scoring system between the two groups. However, the PD group showed a higher proportion of non-ambulators and dependent ambulators with walkers at the final follow-up (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS A similar surgical strategy can be applicable to patients with PD with OVF in the thoracolumbar junction. However, physicians should pay extra attention to intensive perioperative care to prevent various adverse events and implement a rehabilitation regimen to regain walking ability.

Effect of Teriparatide on Subsequent Vertebral Fractures after Instrumented Fusion Surgery for Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures with Neurological Deficits. Asian Spine J 2018; 13:283-289. [PMID: 30481980 PMCID: PMC6454279 DOI: 10.31616/asj.2018.0098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2018] [Accepted: 08/22/2018] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case review. PURPOSE To assess the incidence and effect of teriparatide (TP) on subsequent vertebral fractures following a long-instrumented fusion surgery for osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE TP treatment may be a useful strategy for patients with OVFs treated with a long-instrumented surgery. METHODS Overall, 47 patients who underwent long-instrumented fusion surgery (≥3 levels) for OVFs with neurological deficits between 2010 and 2013 were enrolled. The mean age of the subjects was 76 years; the study population comprised 20 males and 27 females. The mean follow-up duration was 23 months. The average of fused vertebrae was 4.9. TP was used for 19 patients who comprised the TP group. The incidence of subsequent VFs was estimated with Kaplan-Meier analyses and compared between the TP and non-TP groups using the log-rank test. Risk factors were evaluated using a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS A total of 38% (18/47 cases) of the subjects were identified with subsequent VFs. There were no significant differences in the age, sex, fused levels, presence of prevalent fractures, and correction loss of the two groups. The occurrence of subsequent VFs was lower in the TP group than in the non-TP group (16% vs. 54%, p=0.014). The log-rank test revealed that the TP treatment significantly reduced the risk of subsequent VFs (p=0.048). A Cox proportional hazards model revealed that preoperative TP treatment is only a protective factor of subsequent VFs after instrumented fusion surgery for OVFs (hazard ratio, 0.281; p=0.047). CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective study, pre- and postoperative TP treatment significantly reduced the incidence of subsequent VFs after instrumented fusion surgery for OVFs. A prospective randomized study is warranted to determine the efficacy of TP treatments.

Risk Factors for Proximal Junctional Fracture Following Fusion Surgery for Osteoporotic Vertebral Collapse with Delayed Neurological Deficits: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 403 Patients. Spine Surg Relat Res 2018; 3:171-177. [PMID: 31435571 PMCID: PMC6690093 DOI: 10.22603/ssrr.2018-0068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2018] [Accepted: 09/17/2018] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Approximately 3% of osteoporotic vertebral fractures develop osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC) with neurological deficits, and such patients are recommended to be treated surgically. However, a proximal junctional fracture (PJFr) following surgery for OVC can be a serious concern. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify the incidence and risk factors of PJFr following fusion surgery for OVC. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed registry data collected from facilities belonging to the Japan Association of Spine Surgeons with Ambition (JASA) in 2016. We retrospectively analyzed 403 patients who suffered neurological deficits due to OVC below T10 and underwent corrective surgery; only those followed up for ≥2 years were included. Potential risk factors related to the PJFr and their cut-off values were calculated using multivariate logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results Sixty-three patients (15.6%) suffered PJFr during the follow-up (mean 45.7 months). In multivariate analysis, the grade of osteoporosis (grade 2, 3: adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.92; p=0.001) and lower instrumented vertebra (LIV) level (sacrum: aOR 6.75; p=0.003) were independent factors. ROC analysis demonstrated that lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) was a predictive factor (area under curve: 0.72, p=0.035) with optimal cut-off value of 0.61 g/cm2 (sensitivity, 76.5%; specificity, 58.3%), but that of the hip was not (p=0.228). Conclusions PJFr was found in 16% cases within 4 years after surgery; independent risk factors were severe osteoporosis and extended fusion to the sacrum. The lumbar BMD with cut-off value 0.61 g/cm2 may potentially predict PJFr. Our findings can help surgeons select perioperative adjuvant therapy, as well as a surgical strategy to prevent PJFr following surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to conduct a systematic review of literature comparing the clinical effectiveness and safety between anterior reconstruction (AR) and posterior osteotomy (PO) in the treatment of Kümmell's disease with neurological deficits. METHODS We systematically reviewed the literature in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and the Web of Science for "spin*," "surg*," "Kümmell's disease," "Kummell's disease," "Kummell disease," "vertebral osteonecrosis," "vertebral pseudarthrosis," "intravertebral vacuum cleft," "delayed vertebral collapse," and "compression fracture nonunion". Quality was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation method. RESULTS A total of 10 publications involving 268 Kümmell's disease patients with neurological deficits were included in this review, with 7 studies of low- or very low-quality. There were 37.7% and 62.3% of patients receiving AR and PO, respectively. For clinical outcomes, AR group showed no significant differences in pain, neurological dysfunction, and imaging outcome improvements compared with patients who underwent PO. However, the incidence of implant-related complications including loose screw, screw fracture, screw disconnection, and plate dislodgment, was higher in AR group compared with PO group (21.6% vs. 14.3%). As another major complication, AR group more often required a second surgery. CONCLUSION This systematic review demonstrated that both AR and PO could improve pain, neurological dysfunction and imaging outcomes. However, serious comorbidities, multilevel corpectomies and/or severe osteoporosis highly required PO. Design discrepancies were found in the current studies, further higher-quality studies are warranted. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, therapeutic study.

Abstract
Objective We assessed our results of short-segment decompression and fixation for osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures with neurological deficits. Methods We evaluated 20 elderly patients (age, 60–89 years; mean, 73.2 years) with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures and neurological deficits. They underwent short-segment decompression and fixation and followed up for 40.6 (range, 24–68) months. A visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were used to measure back pain and disability. We also analyzed patients’ radiologic findings and neurological status. Perioperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Results At the latest follow-up, the average VAS score for back pain and ODI scores had significantly improved. The radiologic assessment showed significant improvements in local kyphosis, anterior vertebral height, and the vertebral wedge angle compared with the original measures. Neurological function also improved in 18 of 20 patients. No major complications occurred perioperatively. Our techniques included preservation of the posterior ligament complex, decortication of facet joints for fusion, no tapping to increase the screw insertional torque, pre-contouring of the rods according to the “adaptive” curve obtained from postural reduction, and postoperative spinal bracing. Conclusions Posterior short-segment decompression and fixation could be an effective surgical option for osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fractures with neurological deficits.

Abstract
PURPOSE How to select operative methods for delayed paralysis after osteoporotic vertebral fracture remains a matter of debate. It is unclear which procedure provides better neurological and functional recovery. This study aimed to compare the various operative methods and investigate postoperative outcomes. METHODS The study included 42 delayed paralysis patients (mean age 73.7 years). The operative methods were posterior spinal shortening osteotomy with direct decompression and short or long fusion and posterior laminectomy and short fusion with vertebroplasty. All patients in the vertebroplasty group were fitted with hooks to prevent correction loss. We investigated postoperative complications, surgery time, intraoperative blood loss, and changes in walking ability and local kyphotic angle (LKA). Patients were divided into three groups: shortening with a peripheral fusion range of one intervertebral level (the SS group, n = 18), the same procedure with a peripheral fusion range of ≥2 intervertebral levels (the SL group, n = 12), and posterior laminectomy and short fusion with vertebroplasty (the VP group, n = 12). RESULTS Postoperative complications were observed in five patients, all of whom were in the SS and SL group. There were no significant differences between the SS and SL groups. The VP group experienced significantly shorter mean surgery times, significantly lower mean intraoperative blood loss, and an improvement in paralysis, walking ability, LKA, and correction loss. Overall, the VP group had significantly better outcomes. CONCLUSION Posterior laminectomy and short fusion with vertebroplasty with the addition of hooks is useful in cases of delayed paralysis in elderly patients.

Surgical options for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures complicated with spinal deformity and neurologic deficit. Injury 2018; 49:261-271.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This paper describes surgical options for Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) with acute flexible or chronic rigid kyphosis, and pseudarthrosis complicated with pain and neurologic deficit. METHODS This study has two components. a) A prospective clinical study of surgical treatment of 31 patients (age: 69±11 years) with either acute flexible or progressive pseudarthrotic kyphosis manifested with severe pain or neurological deficit between 2010 and 2014. Eleven patients exhibited neurocompression (Frankel B, C, D). Surgery consisted in indirect reduction, kyphoplasty, and short posterior instrumentation in 28 patients and multilevel instrumentation in three. b) The second component involved a literature search of OVCF complicated with acute or painful chronic deformities and neurologic deficit, managed with open surgical approach. RESULTS Indirect reduction, kyphoplasty and short posterior stabilization can restore satisfactory anatomic alignment and neurological deficit. Multilevel instrumentation was used for rigid long kyphosis. Complications were related to a) screw pull out and junctional kyphosis (4 patients) one of the patients also developed anterior migration of cement, b) cement leakage (4 patients). L5 radiculopathy occurred in one patient. The others remained asymptomatic. The literature review concluded that corpectomy with anterior, posterior or combined instrumentations is indicated for burst fractures, or rigid kyphosis with neurocompression. Prompt decompression with anatomical alignment may restore paraplegia. Complications were germane to osteoporotic bone predisposing to hardware loosening or cut out and dislodgement of instrumentation. DISCUSSION Neurologic deficit associated with fractures or progressive pseudarthrotic kyphosis effectively may respond to indirect postural reduction, kyphoplasty and posterior percutaneous short segment transpedicle instrumentation. For burst fractures and rigid chronic kyphosis corpectomy reconstructed with cages and anterior, or posterior or combined instrumentations can restore and maintain normal anatomy. The following guidelines for optimal surgical instrumentation have been established: To prevent screw loosening and junctional kyphosis the instrumentation should not end within the kyphotic segment. Screws for anterior instrumentation should penetrate the contralateral cortex. Multiple site of fixation or combined anterior and posterior instrumentations dissipate stresses at any one site. Augmentation of transpedicle screw fixation with cement is a sound technical principle. Cement should inserted in a doughy state with minimal pressure to prevent cement complications.

Abstract
Usually, after osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF), bone healing follows a normal clinical course leading to bone union with conservative treatment using a brace. However, some patients with OVF do not undergo the normal fracture healing process for a few months, possibly leading to delayed union and/or pseudoarthrosis. In these cases, we performed posterior surgery with combined decompression, vertebroplasty, and posterior spinal fusion with spinal instrumentation. This study aimed to determine the clinical results of posterior surgery for delayed neural disorder secondary to OVF over a 5-year follow-up.Forty-one Japanese patients who had posterior surgery for delayed paralysis secondary to OVF were enrolled in this study. All patients were followed for ≥5 years (mean, 67 months; range, 61-86 months). Patients comprised 12 men and 29 women with an average age of 76.3 ± 6.2 years (range 63-87 years) at the time of operation. We performed posterior fixation from 2 levels above to 1 level below the decompression and vertebroplasty as an all in one procedure. Vertebral height index (VHI) and kyphotic angle (KA) were evaluated on radiogram. For clinical symptoms, a visual analog scale of back and leg pain and the Frankel classification and Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores were used.During the operation and perioperative period, no serious complications occurred. In all patients, symptoms improved within 1 month and were maintained for 5 years postoperatively. In all patients, VHI and KA improved after surgery; however, reduction losses of 7.7% of VHI and 23% of KA were recognized. Five of 41 patients required reoperation due to adjacent vertebral fracture (AVF) and recollapse of the vertebral body.Operation time and blood loss were acceptable, even for elderly patients. In all patients, alignment and subjective symptoms improved. However, reoperation owing to AVF and recollapse was necessary within 1 year in 5 of 41 (12%) patients. Careful follow-up is required within 1 year after surgery for OVF.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A multicenter, retrospective study. OBJECTIVE To identify the factors that affect surgery-related complications and to clarify the surgical strategy for treating lumbar disorders in Parkinson disease (PD). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Previous studies have reported a high complication rate for spinal surgery in patients with PD. Because of the limited number of studies, there are no guidelines for spinal surgery for PD patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records for 67 PD patients who underwent lumbar spinal surgery. The patients were divided into 3 groups: 12 patients underwent laminectomy (Laminectomy), 24 underwent fusion surgery (Fusion) for lumbar canal stenosis, and 31 underwent corrective surgery for spinal deformity (Deformity). We assessed surgery-related complications in each group. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify the factors that predicted surgical failure. RESULTS The percentages of patients who experienced failure of the initial surgery were 33.3% in the Laminectomy group, 45.8% in the Fusion group, and 67.7% in the Deformity group. The rates of implant failure were high in the Fusion and Deformity groups (33.3% and 38.7%, respectively). The Deformity group had a high rate of postoperative fracture (41.9%). These complications occurred at the most caudal site within a year after surgery and resulted in progression of kyphotic deformity. Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative lumbar lordosis angle (LL) (per -1 degree) was associated with a failure of the initial surgery (hazard ratio, 1.024; 95% confidence interval, 1.008-1.04; P=0.003). CONCLUSIONS We have demonstrated that a small preoperative LL increases the risk for failure of the initial surgery. Attaining and maintaining the proper lumbar lordosis with rigid fixation may be necessary in PD patients with a small preoperative LL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment of neurological deficits following osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC) is controversial, owing to complications that result from fragile bone quality. In the present study, we assessed surgical results following posterior spinal fusion without decompression. We achieved stable fusion over a short segment of the spinal column using pedicle screws and spinous process plates, maximizing the use of the preserved posterior elements. METHODS We reviewed surgical data, perioperative complications, clinical outcomes, and radiographic data of 20 consecutively recruited patients with delayed neurological deficits following OVC, who experienced posterior short fusion without neural decompression. The average follow-up period was 24.3 months. The spine was typically stabilized with pedicle screws and spinous process plates from one level above to one level below the collapsed vertebrae, without using neural decompression or considerable correction of kyphosis. RESULTS All patients experienced relief from back pain and neurological improvements of at least one modified Frankel grade. Bone unions of the collapsed vertebrae were achieved in all patients, and spinal fusions of the instrumented segments were achieved in all but one patient. The mean loss of correction was 5.9°, and the average spinal canal compromise by bone fragments was 32.4% before surgery as against 26.0% at the final follow-up time point. Fractures in adjacent or upper instrumented vertebrae were observed in four cases (20%). CONCLUSIONS Rigid augmentation by spinous process plates and an enough bed for the bone grafts were available in patients with severe osteoporosis, without neural decompression. All patients had satisfactory neurological recovery regardless of the extent of spinal canal remodeling, demonstrating that dynamic factors are the primary contributor to neurological deficits following OVC.

Aggravation of spinal cord compromise following new osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture prevented by teriparatide in patients with surgical contraindications. Osteoporos Int 2016; 27:3309-3317.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Patients with spinal cord deficits following new unstable osteoporotic compression fracture and surgical contraindications were considered to receive conservative treatment. Teriparatide was better than alendronate at improving bone mineral density and bone turnover parameters, as well as preventing aggravation of spinal cord compromise. INTRODUCTION This study compared the preventive effects of teriparatide and alendronate on aggravation of spinal cord compromise following new unstable osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) in patients with surgical contraindications. METHODS This was a 12-month, randomized, open-label study of teriparatide versus alendronate in 49 patients with new unstable OVCF and surgical contraindications. Neurological function was evaluated using modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) score (11-point scale, the maximum score of 11 implies normalcy). Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, kyphotic angles, anterior-border heights and diameters of the spinal canal of the fractured vertebrae, any incident of new OVCFs (onset of OVCF during follow-up), spine bone mineral density (BMD), and serum markers of bone resorption and bone formation were also examined at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after initiation of the medication regimen. RESULTS At 12 months, mean mJOA score had improved in the teriparatide group and decreased in the alendronate group. Mean concentrations of bone formation and bone resorption biomarkers, mean spine BMD, and mean anterior-border height and spinal canal diameter of the fractured vertebrae were significantly greater in the teriparatide group than in the alendronate group. Mean VAS score, mean kyphotic angle of the fractured vertebrae, and incidence of new OVCFs were significantly smaller in the teriparatide group than in the alendronate group. CONCLUSIONS In patients with neurological deficits following new unstable OVCF and with surgical contraindications, teriparatide was better than alendronate at improving the BMD and the bone turnover parameters, as well as preventing aggravation of spinal cord compromise.

Abstract
PURPOSE The study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes and limitations after vertebroplasty with posterior spinal fusion (VP+PSF) without neural decompression for osteoporotic vertebral collapse. METHODS We conducted a prospective multicenter study including 45 patients (12 men and 33 women, mean age: 77.0 years) evaluated between 2008 and 2012. Operation time, blood loss, visual analog scale (VAS) of back pain, neurological status, kyphosis angle in the fused area, and vertebral union of the collapsed vertebra were evaluated. RESULTS The mean operation time was 162 min and blood loss was 381 mL. The postoperative VAS score significantly improved, and the neurological status improved in 35 patients (83 %), and none of the remaining patients demonstrated a deteriorating neurological status at two years post-operatively. The mean kyphosis angle pre-operatively, immediately post-operatively, and two years post-operatively was 23.8°, 10.7°, and 24.3°, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the angles pre-operatively and two years post-operatively. The extensive correction of kyphosis >16° was a risk factor for a higher correction loss and subsequent fracture. Union of the collapsed vertebra was observed in 43 patients (95 %) at two years post-operatively. CONCLUSIONS The present study suggests that spinal stabilization rather than neural decompression is essential to treat OVC. Short-segment VP+PSF can achieve a high union rate of collapsed vertebra and provide a significant improvement in back pain or neurological status with less invasive surgery, but has a limit of kyphosis correction more than 16°.

Abstract
Surgical treatment of osteoporotic vertebral collapse (OVC) with neurological deficits presents significant clinical challenges because some patients have fragile bones and often have medical comorbidities, which affect the severity of osteoporosis. We hypothesized that clinical results of surgery in these patients depend on the extent of medical comorbidities that induce secondary osteoporosis. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of medical history and comorbidities on surgical outcomes for these patients, along with the factors that predict postoperative function in activities of daily living (ADL). We retrospectively reviewed data for 88 patients with OVC and neurological deficits who underwent surgery. We assessed clinical results regarding neurological deficits and function in ADL. The presence or absence of comorbidities responsible for secondary osteoporosis and treatments or medical events that affect bone metabolism were examined. We performed statistical analysis to examine prognostic factors for postoperative function in ADL. Of 88 patients, the distributions of comorbidities, treatment, and events in medical history were as follows: hypertension, 57 patients (64.8%); chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or 4, 32 (36.4%); diabetes mellitus, 16 (18.2%); liver dysfunction, 11 (12.5%); cardiovascular disease, 10 (11.4%); rheumatoid arthritis, 9 (10.2%); and glucocorticoid intake, 8 (9.1%). Twenty-five patients (28.4%) represented poor postoperative ADL (chair-bound or bed-bound), and 11 of 25 patients with poor postoperative ADL represented full neurological recovery. Multivariate analysis revealed decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate (odds ratio 0.96; 95% confidence interval 0.93-0.99; p = 0.005) and a high serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) level (odds ratio 1.01; 95% CI 1.00-1.02; p = 0.01) were strong predictive factors for poor postoperative function in ADL. The majority of patients with poor postoperative function in ADL had advanced CKD with a disorder of bone metabolism as well as bone fragility.
