Combining Posterolateral Lumbar Fusion and Posterior Lumber Interbody Fusion Surgery for Treating Three-Level Lumber Spondylolysis and Single-Level Spondylolisthesis: Case Report

Lumbar spondylolysis is a relatively common condition that can cause a variety of clinical manifestations related to the lumbar spine. However, multi-level lumbar spondylolysis is rare and accounts for less than 6% of lumbar spondylolysis. We report a case of three-level lumbar spondylolysis with single-level spondylolisthesis. A 47-year-old woman presented to us with low back pain for 9 years that progressively worsened and the pain was exacerbated with standing and walking. She was diagnosed with three-level lumbar spondylolysis at L3-5 and spondylolisthesis at L4. We performed posterolateral lumber fusion (PLF) and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) surgery for her. During the same period, pain recovery and fusion rate of the patient were evaluated after surgery. The results were favorable and proved the efficacy of combining PLF and PLIF technique for treatment for three-level lumbar spondylolysis and single-level spondylolisthesis.

Return to sports activity by athletes after treatment of spondylolysis

AIM:To clarify the efficacy of conservative and surgical treatment of spondylolysis in athletes.METHODS:PubMed was used to perform a search of the literature for studies published during the period from 1990 to 2009 that reported data on the outcome of conservative or surgical treatment of spondylolysis in athletes.The articles were examined for data on the percentage of athletes who returned to sports activities and the interval between the start of treatment and their return.RESULTS:Five studies were identified.Two studies were concerned with conservative treatment and the other three with surgical treatment(wire fixation or screw fixation with bone graft).The percentages of athletes who returned to sports activities ranged from 80.0%to 89.3%and from 81.9%to 100%,respectively,and the intervals until their return ranged from 5.4 to 5.5 mo and from 7 to 12 mo,respectively.CONCLUSION:The percentages of athletes who returned to sports activities after conservative and surgical treatment appeared to be satisfactory,but the

Vibration Signal Analysis for Detecting Early-Stage Lumbar Spondylolysis Using Synthetic Bone

Bone fractures can be detected by analyzing vibration signals following bone stimulation. This method can also be applied to detect stress fractures, such as spondylolysis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether vibration signal analysis can be used to detect lumbar spondylolysis in synthetic bone. Four synthetic spondylolysis models of the fifth lumbar vertebra (Sawbones, product No. SAW1352-10: Malm&#246;, Sweden) were prepared, with the following conditions: intact, unilateral defect, and bilateral defect. Unilateral defects were created by making an incision of either half the diameter (50% incision) or the entire diameter (100% incision) in length through the pars interarticularis or pedicle. Bilateral defects were created by making an additional incision of half the diameter in length on the opposite side of the defected pars interarticularis or pedicle (50% + 100% incision). Hammering was performed five times on each spinous process of the fixed synthetic bones and vibration signals were measured using an accelerometer attached to the contralateral side of the hammer. Signals were analyzed using fast Fourier transform. The parameters analyzed included the mean power frequency, first power minimum frequency (the minimum value between the first and second peaks), spectral areas of low and high frequency bands, and the relative ratio between the spectral areas of low and high frequency bands. The relative ratio was significantly lower in the 50%, 100%, and 50% + 100% incision conditions compared to the intact condition (p < 0.01), suggesting the potential utility of vibration signal analysis in diagnosing lumbar spondylolysis.

Surgical treatment of four segment lumbar spondylolysis:A case report

Four-level lumbar spondylolysis is extremely rare.So far,only 1 case has been reported in the literature.CASE SUMMARY A 19-year-old man presented with severe back pain irresponsive to conservative therapies for 2 years.Lumbar radiographs and two-dimensional computed tomography scan showed four segment lumbar spondylolysis on both sides of L2-L5.Lumbar magnetic resonance imaging showed normal signal in all lumbar discs.Because daily activities were severely limited,surgery was recommended for the case.The patient underwent four-level bilateral isthmic repair at L2-L5.During surgery,L2-L5 isthmi were curetted bilaterally,freshened,and then grafted with autologous iliac bone that was bridged and compressed with a pedicular screw connected to a sub-laminar hook by a short rod.The symptoms of back pain almost disappeared.He has been followed-up for 96 mo,and his symptoms have never recurred.Fusion was found in all repaired isthmi 14 mo after surgery according to evaluation of lumbar radiography and computed tomography scan.CONCLUSION We report here 1 case of four-level lumbar spondylolysis that was treated successfully with direct isthmic repair.

Application of a new anatomic hook-rod-pedicle screw system in young patients with lumbar spondylolysis:A pilot study

BACKGROUND The pedicle screw-laminar hook system has strong fixation and is conducive to bone graft fusion for lumbar spondylolysis.However,the current pedicle screwlaminar hook fixation system is not specifically designed for lumbar spondylolysis.AIM To investigate the clinical effects of a new anatomical hook-rod-pedicle screw system in the treatment of lumbar spondylolysis in young adults.METHODS We designed a new anatomic hook-rod-pedicle screw system for young patients with lumbar spondylolysis.The isthmus and the corresponding pedicle screw entry point were exposed through the intermuscular approach.Autogenous iliac bone graft was obtained to bridge the isthmus defect,and then the anatomic hook-rod-pedicle screw system was used to fix the isthmus in 15 young patients.RESULTS At 24 mo follow-up,the visual analogue scale score of low back pain decreased from 6.73±0.88 to 0.73±0.59,and the Oswestry disability index score decreased from 58.20±8.99 to 7.87±4.97.Computed tomography showed bilateral isthmic bone healing in 14 cases and unilateral isthmic bone healing in 1 case.Magnetic resonance imaging showed that the lumbar disc signal of diseased segment and adjacent segments had no change compared with that before surgery.The pain visual analogue scale score of the donor site was 0.20±0.41 at the last follow-up.According to the Modified Macnab score,the excellent and good rate was 100%.CONCLUSION The application of this new anatomical hook-rod-pedicle screw system to treat young patients with lumbar spondylolysis has the advantages of less trauma,a simple operation and satisfactory clinical effects.

Study on clinical effects of pedicle screw combined with immobilized implantation bone by wirerope and hallow compression screw immobilization in treating spondylolysis of lumbar vertebra of multiple segments of adults

Objective:To observe clinical effects of pedicle screw fixation combined with cable wires and bone graft and cannulated compression screws on adult multi-segment lumbar spondylolysis.Methods:70 cases of patients with multi-segment lumbar spondylolysis were selected in our hospital.According to different surgical schemes,these patients were divided into the observation group(35 cases)and the control group(35 cases).The observation group received pedicle screw fixation combined with cable wires and bone graft and the control group received cannulated compression screw fixation.Macnab criteria were adopted to implement a therapeutic evaluation of two groups of patients to make an observation and comparison of the excellent and good rate of surgery and a series of indicators including perioperative clinical effects,intraoperative blood loss,duration of surgery,hospital length of stay(HLOS),visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry disability index and Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)score.Results:The excellent and good rate of the observation group was 97.14%,and that of the control group was 82.86%,the difference between two groups was statistically significant(χ^(2)=6.248,p=0.012).The differences in intraoperative blood loss,duration of surgery and HLOS between two groups were statistically significant(t=-4.55,t=-4.55,t=-4.55;p<0.05).Oswestry index,VAS score and JOA score of the observation group were(2.4±0.9),(28.5±6.4)and(27.1±3.1)respectively,and these of the control group were(3.5±1.2),(37.1±7.8)and(21.3±2.7)respectively,the differences between two groups were statistically significant(t=4.338,t=5.043,t=8.347,p<0.05).Conclusions:Pedicle screw combined with immobilized implantation bone by wirerope has an excellent clinical effect on the treatment of adult multi-segment lumbar spondylolysis,and it has a series of advantages such as fast postoperative recovery,small surgical trauma and so on.In addition,this technique can also restore the stability of spinal segments and relieve pains to a greater degree.

背景:峡部裂性滑脱与退变性滑脱的发病机制不尽相同,两者在脊柱-骨盆矢状面形态各参数及生活质量之间是否存在差异,目前尚不清楚。目的:探讨退变性滑脱症与成人腰椎峡部裂性滑脱症患者脊柱-骨盆矢状面形态及生活质量的差异。方法:回顾性分析2012年5月至2015年2月就诊且有完整影像学资料的退变性滑脱症与成人腰椎峡部裂性滑脱症患者共169例,其中退变性滑脱(退变组)83例,峡部裂性滑脱(峡部裂组)86例。在站立位全脊柱侧位片上测量两组患者脊柱-骨盆矢状面形态学指标,包括胸椎后凸角、腰椎前凸角、矢状面平衡、骨盆入射角、骨盆倾斜角、骶骨倾斜角。同时测量两组病例的腰椎滑脱角、滑脱率以及滑脱距离,运用SF-36量表评估患者的生活质量,并进行组间比较。结果与结论:1退变组患者腰椎前凸角、胸椎后凸角及滑脱角明显低于峡部裂组(P<0.05-0.01);退变组患者矢状面平衡明显高于峡部裂组(P<0.01);2就SF-36量表各维度而言,退变组身体功能维度得分、社会功能维度得分低于峡部裂组(P<0.01);3两组患者在骨盆入射角、骨盆倾斜角、骶骨倾斜角、滑脱率及滑脱距离方面差异均无显著性意义(P>0.05);4结果提示,退变性滑脱症与成人腰椎峡部裂性滑脱症患者具有相似的骨盆矢状面形态,但峡部裂性滑脱症患者较退变性滑脱症患者表现为更大的胸椎后凸、腰椎前凸以及滑脱角。此外,退变性滑脱症患者身体功能、社会功能维度受到明显的损害。

螺旋CT成像后处理在腰椎峡部裂中的应用

目的 探讨螺旋CT成像后处理在腰椎峡部裂诊断中的临床价值。方法 分析20例腰椎峡部裂最大密度投影(MIP)、多平面重组(MPR)、表面重建(SSD)重建图像的CT表现。结果MIP和MPR显示峡部裂良好,20例38处均能显示,前者更清晰;SSD图像显示椎体滑脱良好,16例椎体滑脱均能显示;峡部断裂断端骨赘形成7例,纤维组织增生或骨痂形成6例,侧隐窝狭窄6例,黄韧带肥厚3例,椎间盘突出5例,椎间孔狭窄12例,斜轴位或矢状位MPR均能很好显示。 结论 “断翼征”、“断柄征”、“断颈征”、“环裂征”是腰椎峡部裂特征性的CT表现,螺旋CT的多系列重建图像对峡部裂的诊断以及治疗方式的选择具有重要意义。
