Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy of posterior three-columns osteotomy in the treatment of severe tuberculous angular kyphosis.
METHODS:Total of 33 patients with severe tuberculous angular kyphosis were treated with posterior three-columns osteotomy from January 2006 to January 2019 including 24 males and 9 females with an average age of (40.6±23.3) years old ranging from 15 to 62 years old and an average disease duration of (23.5±15.5) years ranging from 4 to 40 years. The Cobb's angle of kyphosis was (118.65±28.82)°. Interradicular bone-disc-bone osteotomy(BDBO), posterior-only vertebral column resection (PVCR) and posterior multilevel vertebral osteotomy (PMVO) were performed to correct spinal deformity individually. The visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), ASIA spinal cord functional classification and motor function score, and deformity correction rate were measured and statistically analyzed before, after and at the final follow-up.
RESULTS:Total of 33 patients were followed up from 15 to 96 months with an average of (38.00±6.38) months. The last follow-up of kyphosis Cobb angle (23.88±5.45)° showed no significant loss from postoperative 12 months (20.40±9.13)°, P>0.05. The SVA, VAS, ODI and ASIA spinal cord functional classification and motor function score were significantly improved at 1 year and last follow-up after operation(P<0.01). The fusion time of the osteotomy site was (18.50±5.16) months. The ASIA classification of 15 patients with spinal cord injury were improved by at least 2 grades after operation, and their daily life and work ability were various levels of restored. Postoperative complications of spinal cord injury occurred in 3 cases.
CONCLUSION:Posterior three-columns osteotomy is the most effective method for the treatment of angular kyphosis of spinal tuberculosis.Careful preoperative design and individualized osteotomy can not only correct the deformity, but also a successful decompression to the spinal cord and promote the recovery of spinal cord function.
