Abstract
BACKGROUND
This study aimed to evaluate the association between spinopelvic alignment parameters and hip osteoarthritis progression after spinal alignment correction surgery for adult spinal deformity, focusing on the preoperative to postoperative change in spinopelvic alignment.
METHODS
This retrospective study enrolled 100 adult spinal deformity patients (196 hip joints) who underwent spinal fusion surgery, after excluding four joints with previous total hip arthroplasty. Acetabular roof obliquity (ARO), center edge angle (CE) and Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) grade were measured in the hip joint. Spinopelvic alignment parameters were measured preoperatively and 1-month postoperatively and the changes (Δ) during this period were calculated. Patients were followed-up for ≥ 5 years and factors associated with KL grade progression at 5-years postoperatively were determined by logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS
In the analysis with all cases, KL grade progressed in 23 joints. Logistic regression analysis revealed age (OR: 1.098, 95% CI: 1.007-1.198, p = 0.019), ARO (OR: 1.176, 95% CI: 1.01-1.37, p = 0.026), and Δ PI (OR: 0.791, 95% CI: 0.688-0.997, p < 0.001) as parameters significantly associated with KL grade progression. On the other hand, in the analysis limited to 185 cases with 1-month postoperative KL grade of 0, KL grade progressed in 13 joints. Logistic regression analysis revealed PI-LL (OR: 1.058, 95% CI: 1.001-1.117, p = 0.04), ΔPI (OR: 0.785, 95% CI: 0.649-0.951, p < 0.001), and ΔCobb (OR: 1.127, 95% CI: 1.012-1.253, p = 0.009) as parameters significantly associated with progression.
CONCLUSIONS
Both the overall and limited analyzes of this study identified preoperative to postoperative change in PI as parameters affecting the hip osteoarthritis progression after spinal fusion surgery. Decrease in PI might represent preexisting sacroiliac joint laxity. Patients with this risk factor should be carefully followed for possible hip osteoarthritis progression.
