Objective: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a common procedure for the treatment of cervical disease. Circumferential procedures are options for multilevel pathology. Potential complications of multilevel anterior procedures are dysphagia and pseudarthrosis, whereas potential complications of posterior surgery include development of cervical kyphosis and postoperative chronic neck pain. The addition of posterior cervical cages (PCCs) to multilevel ACDF is a minimally invasive option to perform circumferential fusion. This study evaluated the biomechanical performance of 3-level circumferential fusion with PCCs as supplemental fixation to anteriorly placed allografts, with and without anterior plate fixation. Methods: Nondestructive flexibility tests (1.5 Nm) performed on 6 cervical C2–7 cadaveric specimens intact and after discectomy (C3–6) in 3 instrumented conditions: allograft with anterior plate (G+P), PCC with allograft and plate (PCC+G+P), and PCC with allograft alone (PCC+G). Range of motion (ROM) data were analyzed using 1-way repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: All instrumented conditions resulted in significantly reduced ROM at the 3 instrumented levels (C3–6) compared to intact spinal segments in flexion, extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation (p<0.001). No significant difference in ROM was found between G+P and PCC+G+P conditions or between G+P and PCC+G conditions, indicating similar stability between these conditions in all directions of motion. Conclusion: All instrumented conditions resulted in considerable reduction in ROM. The added reduction in ROM through the addition of PCCs did not reach statistical significance. Circumferential fusion with anterior allograft, without plate and with PCCs, has comparable stability to ACDF with allograft and plate.

Objective: The lordotic shape of the lumbar spine differs substantially between individuals. Measuring and recording strain during spinal biomechanical tests is an effective method to infer stresses on spinal implants and predict failure mechanisms. The geometry of the spine may have a significant effect on the resultant force distribution, thereby directly affecting rod strain. Methods: Seven fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens (T12-sacrum) underwent standard (7.5 Nm) nondestructive sagittal plane tests: flexion and extension. The conditions tested were intact and pedicle screws and rods (PSR) at L1-sacrum. The posterior right rod was instrumented with strain gauges between L3–4 (index level) and the L5–S1 pedicle screw. All specimens underwent lateral radiographs before testing. Lordotic angles encompassing different levels (L5–S1, L4–S1, L3–S1, L2–S1, and L1–S1) were measured and compared with rod strain. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation analyses. Results: Strong positive correlations were observed between lordosis and posterior rod strain across different conditions. The L3–S1 lordotic angle in the unloaded intact condition correlated with peak rod strain at L3–4 with PSR during flexion (R=0.76, p=0.04). The same angle in the unloaded PSR condition correlated with peak strain in the PSR condition during extension (R=-0.79, p=0.04). The unloaded intact L2–S1 lordotic angle was significantly correlated with rod strain at L3–4 in the PSR condition during flexion (R=0.85, p=0.02) and extension (R=-0.85, p=0.02) and with rod strain at L5–S1 in the PSR condition during flexion (R=0.84, p=0.04). Conclusion: Lordosis measured on intact and instrumented conditions has strong positive correlations with posterior rod strain in cadaveric testing.

Objective: The high mechanical stress zone at the sudden transition from a rigid to flexible region is involved in proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) physiopathology. We evaluated the biomechanical performance of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rods used as a nontraditional long semirigid transition phase from a long-segment metallic rod construct to the nonfused thoracic spine. Methods: Pure moment range of motion (ROM) tests (7.5 Nm) were performed on 7 cadaveric spine segments followed by compression (200 N). Specimens were tested in the following conditions: (1) intact; (2) T10-pelvis pedicle screws and rods (PSRs); and (3) extending the proximal construct to T6 using PEEK rods (PSR+PEEK). T10–11 rod strain, T9 anterolateral bone strain, and T10 screw bending moments were analyzed. Results: At the upper instrumented vertebra (UIV)+1, PSR+PEEK versus PSR significantly decreased ROM in flexion (115%, p = 0.02), extension (104%, p = 0.003), left lateral bending (46%, p = 0.02), and right lateral bending (63%, p = 0.008). Also, at UIV+1, PSR+PEEK versus intact significantly decreased ROM in flexion (111%, p = 0.01) and extension (105%, p = 0.003). The UIV+1 anterior column bone strain was significantly reduced with PSR+ PEEK versus PSR during right lateral bending (p = 0.02). Rod strain polarities reversed with PEEK rods in all loading directions except compression. Conclusion: Extending a long-segment construct using PEEK rods caused a decrease in adjacent-level hypermobility as a consequence of long-segment immobilization and also redistributed the strain on the UIV and adjacent levels, which might contribute to PJK physiopathology. Further studies are necessary to observe the clinical outcomes of this technique.
