Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the operational impact of the curve laterality of degenerative lumbar scoliosis on oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF).Methods:Data of 40 cases with degenerative lumbar scoliosis and 20 cases without degenerative lumbar scoliosis treated in our hospital from January to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 20 cases in left convex group (male 5, female 15, 70.62±5.45 years old) and 20 cases in left concave group (male 3, female 17, 69.73±7.24 years old), and there were 20 cases of lumbar degenerative diseases without scoliosis (lumbar spinal stenosis 13 cases, lumbar disc herniation 7 cases; male 5, female 15, 71.48±5.73 years old). The following OLIF operation-related anatomical parameters were measured on MR axial T2 weighted image and lumbar spine X-ray image: distance from the left edge of the abdominal aorta to the anterior medial edge of the left psoas muscle; distance from the left edge of the abdominal aorta to the left lumbar sympathetic trunk; distance from the anterior medial edge of the left psoas muscle to the transverse axis of the vertebral body; distance between the midpoints of adjacent vertebral bodies in L 2-5; angle of rotation of the vertebral body and angle of the OLIF operating channel. One-way analysis of variance(ANOVA) and least significant difference (LSD) were used for statistical analysis of measurement parameters of different groups. Results:There were statistically significant differences between the distance from the left edge of the abdominal aorta to the anterior medial edge of the left psoas muscle, and the distance from the left edge of the abdominal aorta to the left lumbar sympathetic trunk in the three groups of cases (All P<0.05). The L 2, 3 segment (24.41±9.54 mm, 18.18±7.1 mm) and L 3, 4 segment (18.54±7.94 mm, 13.73±6.73 mm) in the left concave group were significantly larger than those in the no scoliosis group; and the above values of the L 4, 5 segment of the left convex group (19.16±7.04 mm, 11.67±3.63 mm) were significantly larger than those in the no scoliosis group. For the distance from the anterior medial edge of the left psoas muscle to the transverse axis of the vertebral body, the values of L 2, 3 and L 3, 4 (13.76±2.98 mm, 15.87±3.53 mm) in the left convex group were significantly greater than those in the no scoliosis control group; but in the left concave group, the corresponding values (9.97±3.14 mm, 10.75±5.03 mm) were significantly smaller than those in the no scoliosis group. The distances between the midpoints of adjacent vertebral bodies of L 2, 3 and L 3, 4 (37.67±3.45 mm, 38.18±3.54 mm) in the left convex group were greater than those in the no scoliosis group and left concave group, and the differences between the three groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis between the absolute value of vertebral rotation angle and OLIF surgical passage angle showed that there was a negative correlation between them in the left convex group and a positive correlation in the left concave group. Conclusion:The curve laterality of degenerative lumbar scoliosis had a certain influence on the anatomical parameters of oblique lateral lumbar interbody fusion. It was recommended to design and adjust the operation skills according to the curve laterality before surgery.
