Abstract:
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) combined with double row nanomimetic bone column implantation and internal fixation in the treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease plus kyphosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of the 12 patients with stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease plus kyphosis who had been admitted to Department of Spine Surgery, Zhengzhou Orthopedic Hospital from March 2017 to September 2023. There were 2 males and 10 females, with an age of (63.4±6.4) years and a disease duration of (8.6±5.1) months. The injured segment was T 11 in 1 patient, T 12 in 5 ones, and L 1 in 6 ones. The preoperative spinal nerve injury was graded according to American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA): grade D in 5 cases and grade E in 7 cases. All the patients were treated with PVCR combined with double row nanomimetic bone column implantation and internal fixation. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, shortening rate of the osteotomy area, complications during follow-up, and spinal nerve recovery at the last follow-up were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, Oswestry Disability Indexes (ODIs), and local kyphosis Cobb angles were compared between pre-surgery, 2 weeks after surgery, and the last follow-up. Results:Incisions in all the 12 patients healed at the primary stage. Their operation duration was (268.4±26.5) min, intraoperative blood loss (994.9±180.4) mL, shortening rate of the osteotomy area 3.94%±7.58%, and follow-up duration (24.1±13.5) months. At 2 weeks after surgery and the last follow-up, the VAS pain scores [(3.08±0.79) points and (1.17±0.58) points] and ODIs (27.59%±6.10% and 16.67%±2.22%) were significantly lower than those before surgery [(8.08±0.79) points and 73.14%±5.64%], and the values at the last follow-up were further significantly lower than those at 2 weeks after surgery (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the Cobb angle at the last follow-up (5.29°±1.30°) compared with 2 weeks after surgery (4.74°±1.31°) ( P>0.05), but there was a statistically significant difference compared with the preoperative value (49.41°±4.40°) ( P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the ASIA grading in all the 12 patients recovered to grade E, with good bone healing at the fixation segment. No screw loosening or fracture was found. Two patients had a biomimetic bone column sinking of 3.5 and 4.0 mm, respectively, but their Marchi's grading was still 0. During the follow-up period, one patient developed proximal junctional kyphosis, and one patient developed an osteoporotic fracture of the proximal vertebral body at the fixed level. Conclusions:In the treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell's disease plus kyphosis, PVCR combined with double row nanomimetic bone column implantation and internal fixation can significantly correct the kyphosis and improve clinical symptoms, leading to good clinical efficacy.
