Abstract:
Objective To analyze the clinical results of 360° fusion for spondylolisthesis.Methods Data of 76 patients from March 2005 to November 2012,including 26 males and 50 females with a mean age of 54.3 years were retrospectively analyzed.All patients had undergone modified 360° fusion.The clinical outcomes were evaluated by the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores (JOA) and visual analogue scale (VAS).The fusion status and loss of correction were assessed by CT and plain radiographs.Results All patients had been successfully followed up for at least one year.Post-operative reduction rate was 96.8%,with a mean loss rate of 1.1% at six months and 0.8% at one year follow-up separately,but the difference was not significant.Postoperative percentage of slip,lumbar lordosis,intervertebral disc height and slip angle had significant differences,compared with those of the pre-operative,but the difference between one week post-operative,six months follow-up and one year follow-up were not significant.The fusion rate was 76.3% at six months follow-up and 98.7% at one year follow-up,and there were significant differences.Both JOA and VAS score at six months and one year follow-up indicated significant differences in contrast to that of preoperative.Dural injury was found in one patient,and subsidence was found in one patient.One received a second operation at 3 months after the surgery due to screw loose.Conclusions Modified 360° fusion shows great clinical outcome and fusion rate,which can be a dominant procedure for treating spondylolisthesis.
