Is local autogenous morselized bone harvested from decompression through a posterior-transforaminal approach sufficient for single-level interbody fusion in the lower lumbar spine? BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2023; 24:12. [PMID: 36609247 PMCID: PMC9817406 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-023-06131-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the volume and applicability of local autogenous morselized bone (LAMB) harvested and used during posterior-transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (P-TLIF) in the lower lumbar spine. METHODS Clinical and radiographic data of 147 patients (87 males) undergoing P-TLIF from January 2017 to December 2019 for lumbar degenerative diseases were retrospectively analyzed. Computed tomography was used to assess the fusion status (at 6 months, 1 year, and the last follow-up postoperatively), restored disc height, graft fusion area and volume, and the minimum required bone volume (MRBV). Clinical outcomes of P-TLIF were assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS) for low back pain (LBP) and leg pain (LP). RESULTS The mean follow-up period was 28.4 ± 4.49 months. The patient's age and diagnosis were correlated to the volume and weight of LAMB (mean volume and weight: 3.50 ± 0.45 mL and 3.88 ± 0.47 g, respectively). The ratio of actual fusion area to the total disc endplate and the ratio of actual fusion volume to the total volume of the disc space were > 40%. MRBV ranged from 1.83 ± 0.48 cm3 to 2.97 ± 0.68 cm3. The proportion of grade 4 or 5 fusions increased from 60.6% at 6 months to 96.6% at the last follow-up. The ODI, VAS-LP, and VAS-LBP scores significantly improved after surgery and remained unchanged during the follow-up. CONCLUSION When combined with a cage, the volume of LAMB harvested from decompression through the unilateral approach at a single-level is sufficient to achieve a solid interbody fusion in the lower lumbar spine with excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:6279. [PMID: 36362508 PMCID: PMC9659217 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11216279] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 09/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Spinal fusion (SF) comprises surgical procedures for several pathologies that affect different spinal levels, and different cages are employed in SF surgery. Few clinical studies highlight the role of cages in complications beyond the outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to collect the last 10 years' worth of clinical studies that include cages in SF surgery, focusing on complications. Three databases are employed, and 21 clinical studies are included. The most-performed SF procedure was anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), followed by lumbar SF. The polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage was the most-used, and it was usually associated with autograft or calcium phosphate ceramics (hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (βTCP)). For lumbar SF procedures, the highest percentages of subsidence and pseudoarthrosis were observed with PEEK filled with bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and βTCP. For ACDF procedures, PEEK filled with autograft showed the highest percentages of subsidence and pseudoarthrosis. Most studies highlighted the role of surgical techniques in patient complications. There are many interacting events that contextually affect the rate of clinical success or failure. Therefore, in future clinical studies, attention should focus on cages to improve knowledge of chemical, biological and topographical characteristics to improve bone growth and to counteract complications such as cage loosening or breaking and infections.

Abstract
Objective With the advances in biological technologies over the past 20 years, a number of new therapies to promote bone healing have been introduced. Particularly in the spinal surgery field, more unprecedented biological therapeutics become available to enhance spinal fusion success rate along with advanced instrumentation approaches. Yet surgeons may not have been well informed about their safety and efficacy profiles in order to improve clinical practices. Therefore there is a need to summarize the evidence and bring the latest progress to surgeons for better clinical services for patients. Methods We comprehensively reviewed the literatures in regard to the biological therapeutics for enhancement of spinal fusion published in the last two decades. Results Autograft bone is still the gold standard for bone grafting in spinal fusion surgery due to its good osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic abilities. Accumulating evidence suggests that adding rhBMPs in combination with autograft effectively promotes the fusion rate and improves surgical outcomes. However, the stimulating effect on spinal fusion of other growth factors, including PDGF, VEGF, TGF-beta, and FGF, is not convincing, while Nell-1 and activin A exhibited preliminary efficacy. In terms of systemic therapeutic approaches, the osteoporosis drug Teriparatide has played a positive role in promoting bone healing after spinal surgery, while new medications such as denosumab and sclerostin antibodies still need further validation. Currently, other treatment, such as controlled-release formulations and carriers, are being studied for better releasing profile and the administration convenience of the active ingredients. Conclusion As the world's population continues to grow older, the number of spinal fusion cases grows substantially due to increased surgical needs for spinal degenerative disease (SDD). Critical advancements in biological therapeutics that promote spinal fusion have brought better clinical outcomes to patients lately. With the accumulation of higher-level evidence, the safety and efficacy of present and emerging products are becoming more evident. These emerging therapeutics will shift the landscape of perioperative therapy for the enhancement of spinal fusion.

Characterizing the host response to rhPDGF-BB in a rat spinal arthrodesis model. JOR Spine 2021; 4:e1173. [PMID: 35005440 PMCID: PMC8717117 DOI: 10.1002/jsp2.1173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Revised: 09/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to the constraints surrounding autograft bone, surgeons have turned to osteoinductive agents to augment spinal fusion. Reports of complications and questionable efficacy slowed the adoption of these alternatives. Recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor B homodimer (rhPDGF-BB) has been Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved (Augment) to promote fusion in other areas of orthopedics, but its characterization in spine fusion has not yet been tested. The purpose of this study is to characterize the host response to PDGF-BB in vivo. METHODS Eighty female Fischer rats underwent L4-5 posterolateral fusion using one of four implant types: (a) iliac crest syngeneic allograft harvested from syngeneic donors, (b) β-TCP/bovine collagen matrix (β-TCP/Col) with sodium acetate buffer, (c) β-TCP/Col with 0.3 mg/mL "low dose," or (d) β-TCP/Col with 3.0 mg/mL "high dose" of rhPDGF-BB. Animals underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and serum cytokine quantification at 4, 7, 10, and 21 days, postoperatively. Tissues were processed for immunofluorescence staining for Ki67 and von Willebrand factor (vWF) to assess neovascularization. RESULTS MRI demonstrated no differences in fluid accumulation among the four treatment groups at any of the time points. Serum cytokine analysis showed no clinically significant differences between treatment groups in 20 of the 27 cytokines. Inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-18, MCP-1, MIP-1α, TNF-α were not induced by rhPDGF-BB. Histology showed no differences in cell infiltration, and Ki67 and vWF immunofluorescence staining was similar among groups. CONCLUSIONS rhPDGF-BB delivered with a β-TCP/Col matrix exerts no exaggerated systemic or local host inflammatory response when compared to iliac crest syngeneic allograft bone or the control carrier. rhPDGF-BB mixed with a β-TCP/Col matrix could be a viable and safe biologic alternative to syngeneic allograft in spine fusion. Further studies need to be performed to evaluate efficacy in this setting.

Analysis of risk factors for perioperative hidden blood loss in unilateral biportal endoscopic spine surgery: a retrospective multicenter study. J Orthop Surg Res 2021; 16:559. [PMID: 34526051 PMCID: PMC8442349 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-021-02698-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Accepted: 08/29/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Hidden blood loss (HBL) represents an important complication of unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) spine surgery. This study aimed to evaluate HBL and its possible risk factors among patients undergoing UBE surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases. Methods This multicentric retrospective study was conducted in 3 different medical centers between July 2020 and April 2021. Data of patients who underwent UBE surgery were extracted by electronic medical record system. The patient’s demographic characteristics and blood loss-related parameters were recorded. We calculated the amount of HBL and explored the association between patient’s characteristics and HBL using Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis. Multivariate linear regression analysis was conducted to identify independent risk factors of HBL. Results A total of 136 patients (55 females and 81 males, age range 43 to 74 years) were included in this study. A substantial amount of HBL (469.5 ± 195.3 ml, 57.6% of TBL, total blood loss) occurred following UBE surgery. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that the risk factors of HBL were as follows: age (P = 0.000), number of fusion levels (P = 0.015), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (P = 0.046), surgery time (P = 0.017), patient’s blood volume (PBV, P = 0.026), total blood loss (TBL, P = 0.001), postoperative (i.e., day 2 or 3) hematocrit (Hct, P = 0.034), Hct loss (P = 0.005), and fibrinogen (P = 0.028). Conclusions A certain amount of HBL occurs in UBE surgery and cannot be ignored in daily clinical practice. The age, number of fusion levels, ASA classification, surgery time, PBV, TBL, postoperative Hct, Hct loss, and fibrinogen are independent risk factors for HBL.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors and develop a nomogram for blood transfusions after posterior lumbar spinal fusion (PSL). Methods We conducted a retrospective, single-center study based on 885 patients receiving PSL, and data was obtained from May 2015 to September 2019. Univariable and multivariable logistics regression analysis were conducted to identify risk factors for blood transfusion, and a nomogram was constructed to individually evaluate the risk of blood transfusion. Discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness were validated by the receiver operating characteristics (ROC), C-index, calibration plot, and decision curve analysis, respectively. Bootstrapping validation was performed to assess the performance of the model. Results Of 885 patients, 885 were enrolled in the final study population, and 289 received blood transfusion. Statistical analyses showed that low preoperative hemoglobin (Hb), longer time to surgery, operative time, levels of fusion > 1, longer surgery duration, and higher total intraoperative blood loss (IBL) were the risk factors for transfusion. The C-index was 0.898 (95% CI 0.847–0.949) in this dataset and 0.895 in bootstrapping validation, respectively. Calibration curve showed satisfied discrimination and calibration of the nomogram. Decision curve analysis (DCA) shown that the nomogram was clinical utility. Conclusions In summary, we investigated the relationship between the blood transfusion requirement and predictors: levels of fusion, operative time, time to surgery, total intraoperative EBL, and preoperative Hb level. Our nomogram with a robust performance in the assessment of risk of transfusion can contribute to clinicians in making clinical decision. However, external validation is still needed in the further.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN This was a retrospective study of 2 surgeons' use of a single polyetheretherketone (PEEK) device. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to investigate the fusion adjunct placed within PEEK devices to examine the likelihood of an arthrodesis, regardless of the PEEK interbody device itself. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The effectiveness of PEEK interbody devices in anterior cervical arthrodesis has been questioned. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed the results of 121 patients with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and 96 with local autograft bone placed within identical PEEK devices for anterior cervical arthrodesis (from 2011 to 2018); 1 surgeon used DBM and another local autograft bone. Arthrodesis was determined independently by a surgeon and 2 blinded neuroradiologists. RESULTS For DBM versus autograft; mean age was 60 versus 61 years, smoking status 42.1% versus 31%, diabetes mellitus 18.2% versus 28%, mean body mass index 31 versus 30, and follow up averaged 17 months in both groups. For DBM versus autograft; a radiographic arthrodesis was observed in 22.3% versus 76% of patients. Refusion at the index level was required in 5.8% of the DBM and 0% of the autograft patients. CONCLUSIONS A PEEK interbody device filled with local autograft resulted in a higher radiographic fusion rate and a lower need for reoperation at the index level than an identical device filled with DBM. Caution is warranted in assigning fusion failure to the PEEK device alone in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery.

Restoration of the lost bone volume is one of the most deliberate issues in dentistry. Sustained-release microspherical oxytocin hormone in a poloxamer hydrogel scaffold combined with a mixture of β-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite (CP) may serve as a suitable bone graft. The aim of this study was to design and test a novel thermosensitive hydrogel graft incorporating oxytocin-loaded poly(d, l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) sustained-release microspheres and CP. Thermosensitive poloxamer hydrogel containing CP (HCP graft) was prepared as a base and combined with hollow microspheres (HCPM) and oxytocin-loaded microspheres (HCPOM). Eighty Wistar rats were used for testing the grafts and a control group in 8-mm-diameter critical-sized calvarial defects (CSD); (n = 20). Bone healing at the 4th and 8th weeks was evaluated by histological, histomorphometric, and radiological (micro-computed tomography [µCT]) analyses. The results were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance (P < .05). Oxytocin-loaded PLGA microspheres prepared by the solvent displacement method yielded a high encapsulation efficiency of 89.5% and a slow drug release. Incorporation of the microspheres into the hydrogel graft slowed the release rate down and the release completed within 32 days. HCPOM revealed the highest new bone formation (26.45% ± 6.65% and 30.76% ± 4.37% at the 4th and 8th weeks, respectively; P < .0001) while HCPM and HCP groups revealed a bone formation of around 10% (P > .05). µCT findings of HCPOM group showed the highest mean bone mineral density values (42.21 ± 5.14 and 46.94 ± 3.30 g/cm3 for the 4th and 8th weeks, respectively; P < .0027). The proposed oxytocin-loaded sustained-release PLGA microspheres containing thermosensitive hydrogel graft (HCPOM) provide an accelerated bone regeneration in the rat calvaria.

First Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) Response and Safety Evaluation of Fibrous Demineralized Bone Matrix in a Critical Size Femoral Defect Model of the Sprague-Dawley Rat. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13143120.

Abstract
Treatment of large bone defects is one of the great challenges in contemporary orthopedic and traumatic surgery. Grafts are necessary to support bone healing. A well-established allograft is demineralized bone matrix (DBM) prepared from donated human bone tissue. In this study, a fibrous demineralized bone matrix (f-DBM) with a high surface-to-volume ratio has been analyzed for toxicity and immunogenicity. f-DBM was transplanted to a 5-mm, plate-stabilized, femoral critical-size-bone-defect in Sprague-Dawley (SD)-rats. Healthy animals were used as controls. After two months histology, hematological analyses, immunogenicity as well as serum biochemistry were performed. Evaluation of free radical release and hematological and biochemical analyses showed no significant differences between the control group and recipients of f-DBM. Histologically, there was no evidence of damage to liver and kidney and good bone healing was observed in the f-DBM group. Reactivity against human HLA class I and class II antigens was detected with mostly low fluorescence values both in the serum of untreated and treated animals, reflecting rather a background reaction. Taken together, these results provide evidence for no systemic toxicity and the first proof of no basic immunogenic reaction to bone allograft and no sensitization of the recipient.
