Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the clinical efficacy of oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) combined with unilateral (UPSF) and bilateral pedicle screw internal fixation (BPSF) in patients with osteoporosis. METHODS Clinical data of 57 patients who underwent single-segment OLIF surgery with a clear diagnosis of osteoporosis from December 2018 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, of which 27 patients underwent OLIF + UPSF and 30 patients underwent OLIF + BPSF. Surgical technique-related indexes were recorded, including operative time, operative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay; clinical outcome-related indexes included postoperative complications, Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) at preoperative, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 12 months postoperative follow-up; and imaging outcome-related indexes included the measurement of preoperative and postoperative segmental lordosis (SL), and observation of the degree of cage subsidence and bone graft fusion. RESULTS The surgery was successfully performed in 57 patients, and there was no statistical difference in operative blood loss and postoperative hospital stay between UPSF group and BPSF group (P > 0.05). In terms of operative time, there was a significant difference (UPSF group: 92.30 ± 11.03 min, BPSF group: 119.67 ± 16.41, P < 0.05). Postoperative VAS and ODI scores exhibited significant improvement (P < 0.05). At the 12 months postoperative follow-up, the VAS and ODI scores in the BPSF group were significantly better than those in the UPS group (P < 0.05). Compared with the preoperative images, the SL was significantly improved in both groups after surgery (P < 0.05). At 6 months postoperatively, the fusion rate in the UPSF group was significantly lower than that in the BPSF group (P < 0.05). At 1 year postoperatively, the fusion rate in the UPSF group was not significantly different from that in the BPSF group (P > 0.05). At 1 year postoperatively, the rate and degree of cage subsidence was higher in the UPSF group than in the BPSF group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In the long term, OLIF combined with bilateral posterior fixation applied to the osteoporosis patients is superior to OLIF surgery combined with unilateral posterior fixation in terms of clinical and imaging outcomes. It is effective in improving pain relief and functional improvement, accelerating bone graft fusion, and reducing cage subsidence compared with UPSF.

J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:343. [PMID: 37161530 PMCID: PMC10170841 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-03752-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2022] [Accepted: 03/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomechanical and finite element analyses were performed to investigate the efficacy of second-generation bone cement-injectable cannulated pedicle screws (CICPS) in osteoporosis. METHODS This study used the biomechanical test module of polyurethane to simulate osteoporotic cancellous bone. Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement was used to anchor the pedicle screws in the module. The specimens were divided into two groups for the mechanical tests: the experimental group (second-generation CICPS) and control group (first-generation CICPS). Safety was evaluated using maximum shear force, static bending, and dynamic bending tests. Biomechanical stability evaluations included the maximum axial pullout force and rotary torque tests. X-ray imaging and computed tomography were used to evaluate the distribution of bone cement 24 h after PMMA injection, and stress distribution at the screw fracture and screw-cement-bone interface was assessed using finite element analysis. RESULTS Mechanical testing revealed that the experimental group (349.8 ± 28.6 N) had a higher maximum axial pullout force than the control group (277.3 ± 8.6 N; P < 0.05). The bending moments of the experimental group (128.5 ± 9.08 N) were comparable to those of the control group (113.4 ± 20.9 N; P > 0.05). The screw-in and spin-out torques of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group (spin-in, 0.793 ± 0.015 vs. 0.577 ± 0.062 N, P < 0.01; spin-out, 0.764 ± 0.027 vs. 0.612 ± 0.049 N, P < 0.01). Bone cement was mainly distributed at the front three-fifths of the screw in both groups, but the distribution was more uniform in the experimental group than in the control group. After pullout, the bone cement was closely connected to the screw, without loosening or fragmentation. In the finite element analysis, stress on the second-generation CICPS was concentrated at the proximal screw outlet, whereas stress on the first-generation CICPS was concentrated at the screw neck, and the screw-bone cement-bone interface stress of the experimental group was smaller than that of the control group. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that second-generation CICPS have higher safety and stability than first-generation CICPS and may be a superior choice for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
The pullout performance of various pedicle screws after artificial fusion process was investigated in this study. Normal, cannulated (cemented), novel expandable and normal (cemented) pedicle screws were tested. Polyurethane foams (Grade 10 and Grade 40) produced by casting method were used as test materials. The instrumentation of pedicle screws has been carried out with production of foams, simultaneously. For cemented pedicle screws, 3D models were prepared with respect to the anteriosuperior and oblique radiographs by using PMMA before casting procedure. Pullout tests were performed in an Instron 3369 testing device. Load versus displacement graph was recorded and the ultimate force was defined as the pullout strength sustained before failure of screw. As expected, the pullout strengths of pedicle screws in postfusion are higher than before fusion. Pullout strengths increased significantly by artificial fusion in Grade 10 foams compared to Grade 40 foams. Additionally, while the pullout strengths of normal, cannulated and novel expandable pedicle screws increased by artificial fusion, cemented normal pedicle screws had lower pullout values than before fusion in Grade 40 foams. When the cemented normal pedicle screws are excluded, other screws have almost similar pullout strength level. On the other hand, the pedicle screws have different increasing behaviour also, there is no correlation between each other. As a result, the novel expandable pedicle screws can be used instead of normal and cannulated ones due to their performances in non-cemented usage.

Abstract
Achieving sufficient mechanical purchase of pedicle screws in osteoporotic or previously instrumented bone is technically and biologically challenging. Techniques using different kinds of pedicle screws or methods of cement augmentation have been used to address this challenge, but are associated with difficult revisions and complications. The purpose of this biomechanical trial was to investigate the use of biocompatible textile materials in combination with bone cement to augment pullout strength of pedicle screws while reducing the risk of cement extrusion. Pedicle screws (6/40 mm) were either augmented with standard bone-cement (Palacos LV + G) in one group (BC, n = 13) or with bone-cement enforced by Vicryl mesh in another group (BCVM, n = 13) in osteoporosis-like saw bone blocks. Pullout testing was subsequently performed. In a second experimental phase, similar experiments were performed using human cadaveric lumbar vertebrae (n = 10). In osteoporosis-like saw bone blocks, a mean screw pullout force of 350 N (±125) was significantly higher with the Bone cement (BC) compared to bone-cement enforced by Vicryl mesh (BCVM) technique with 240 N (±64) (p = 0.030). In human cadaveric lumbar vertebrae the mean screw pullout force was 784 ± 366 N with BC and not statistically different to BCVM with 757 ± 303 N (p = 0.836). Importantly, cement extrusion was only observed in the BC group (40%) and never with the BCVM technique. In vitro textile reinforcement of bone cement for pedicle screw augmentation successfully reduced cement extrusion compared to conventionally delivered bone cement. The mechanical strength of textile delivered cement constructs was more reproducible than standard cementing. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Aim of this study is to assess the pullout performance of various pedicle screws in different test materials. Polyurethane foams (Grade 10 and Grade 40) produced in laboratory and bovine vertebrae were instrumented with normal, cannulated (cemented), novel expandable and normal (cemented) pedicle screws. Test samples were prepared according to the ASTM F543 standard testing protocols and surgical guidelines. To examine the screw placement and cement distribution, anteriosuperior and oblique radiographs were taken from each sample after insertion process was completed. Pullout tests were performed in an Instron 3369 testing device. Load versus displacement graphs were recorded and the ultimate pullout force was defined as the maximum load (pullout strength) sustained before failure of screw. Student's t-test was performed on each group whether the differences between pullout strength of pedicle screws were significant or not. While normal pedicle screws have the lowest pullout strength in all test materials, normal pedicle screws cemented with polymethylmethacrylate exhibit significantly higher pullout performance than others. For all test materials, there is a significant improvement in pullout strength of normal screws by augmentation. While novel expandable pedicle screws with expandable poly-ether-ether-ketone shells exhibited lower pullout performance than normal screws cemented with polymethylmethacrylate, their pullout performances in all groups were higher than the ones of normal and cannulated pedicle screws. For all test materials, although cannulated pedicle screws exhibit higher pullout strength than normal pedicle screws, there are no significant differences between the two groups. The novel expandable pedicle screws with expandable poly-ether-ether-ketone shells may be used instead of normal and cannulated pedicle screws cemented with polymethylmethacrylate due to their good performances.

Abstract
Purpose: Based on rapid modeling 1 year after intramedullary nailing, personalized finite element modeling analysis was performed to predict whether the broken ends of fractured bones would break again after nail dislodgement. Methods: A total of 10 male volunteers with femur fractures who had undergone intramedullary nailing were selected 1 year after fixation and were divided into healing ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]5) and non-healing ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]5) groups based on X-ray analysis. We modeled each femoral fracture and performed finite element analyses after the intramedullary nail was dislodged. Static loads and constraints were applied to each model to simulate a person standing on one leg. Results: In the healing group, the von Mises stress concentrations and stress concentration point distribution were located outside the bone healing area, indicating that the stress was not concentrated at the fracture site. In the non-healing group, the maximum von Mises stress for various materials was located in the broken ends of the fractured bone, indicating that the stress was concentrated at the fracture site. Conclusion: Personalized modeling can be used to analyze bone healing before removal of a fixator to predict the stability of the fractured bone after fixator removal and to rapidly decide whether slow walking could refracture the broken ends.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, the most common form of metabolic bone disease, leads to alterations in bone structure and density that have been shown to compromise the strength of spinal instrumentation. In addition, osteoporosis may contribute to high rates of fracture and instrumentation failure after long posterior spinal fusions, resulting in proximal junctional kyphosis and recurrent spinal deformity. As increasing numbers of elderly patients present for surgical intervention for degenerative and traumatic spinal pathologies, current and future generations of spine surgeons will increasingly be faced with the challenge of obtaining adequate fixation in osteoporotic bone. The purpose of this review is to familiarize the reader with the impact of osteoporosis on spinal instrumentation, the broad variety of techniques that have been developed for addressing these issues, and the biomechanical and clinical evidence in support of the use of these techniques.

Abstract
This study was designed to analyze the flow and distribution of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) in vertebral body through computer simulation. Cadaveric lumbar vertebrae were scanned through electron beam tomography (EBT). The data was imported into Mimics software to build computational model. Vertebral body center and junction of pedicle and vertebral body were chosen as injection points. Silicone oil with viscosity of 100,000 cSt matching with PMMA bone cement was chosen for injection. The flow and distribution of silicone oil were analyzed using Fluent software. In vertebral body, silicone oil formed a circle-like shape centered by injection point on transverse and longitudinal sections, finally forming a sphere-like shape as a whole. Silicone oil diffused along lateral and posterior walls forming a circle-like shape on transverse section centered by injection point in pedicle, eventually forming a sphere-like shape as a whole. This study demonstrated that silicone oil flowed and diffused into a circle-like shape centered by injection point and finally formed a sphere-like shape as a whole in both vertebral body and pedicle. The flow and distribution of silicon oil in computational model could simulate PMMA distribution in vertebral body. It may provide theoretical evidence to reduce PMMA leakage risk during percutaneous vertebroplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT A persistent challenge in spine surgery is improving screw fixation in patients with poor bone quality. Augmenting pedicle screw fixation with cement appears to be a promising approach. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to survey the literature and assess the previous biomechanical studies on pedicle screw augmentation with cement to provide in-depth discussions of the biomechanical benefits of multiple parameters in screw augmentation. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING This is a systematic literature review. METHODS A search of Medline was performed, combining search terms of pedicle screw, augmentation, vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, polymethylmethacrylate, calcium phosphate, or calcium sulfate. The retrieved articles and their references were reviewed, and articles dealing with biomechanical testing were included in this article. RESULTS Polymethylmethacrylate is an effective material for enhancing pedicle screw fixation in both osteoporosis and revision spine surgery models. Several other calcium ceramics also appear promising, although further work is needed in material development. Although fenestrated screw delivery appears to have some benefits, it results in similar screw fixation to prefilling the cement with a solid screw. Some differences in screw biomechanics were noted with varying cement volume and curing time, and some benefits from a kyphoplasty approach over a vertebroplasty approach have been noted. Additionally, in cadaveric models, cemented-augmented screws were able to be removed, albeit at higher extraction torques, without catastrophic damage to the vertebral body. However, there is a risk of cement extravasation leading to potentially neurological or cardiovascular complications with cement use. A major limitation of these reviewed studies is that biomechanical tests were generally performed at screw implantation or after a limited cyclic loading cycle; thus, the results may not be entirely clinically applicable. This is particularly true in the case of the bioactive calcium ceramics, as these biomechanical studies would not have measured the effects of osseointegration. CONCLUSIONS Polymethylmethacrylate and various calcium ceramics appear promising for the augmentation of pedicle screw fixation biomechanically in both osteoporosis and revision spine surgery models. Further translational studies should be performed, and the results summarized in this review will need to be correlated with the clinical outcomes.
