        Study Design: Retrospective study. Purpose: Lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration is an important cause of low back pain. Overview of Literature: Spinal fusion is often reported to have a good course for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, many studies have reported that adjacent segment degeneration is accelerated after lumbar spinal fusion. Radiography is a simple method used to evaluate the orientation of the vertebral column. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method most often used to specifically evaluate intervertebral disc degeneration. The Pfirrmann classification is a well-known method used to evaluate degenerative lumbar disease. After spinal fusion, an increase in stress, excess mobility, increased intra-disc pressure, and posterior displacement of the axis of motion have been observed in the adjacent segments. Methods: we retrospectively secured and analyzed the data of 15 patients (four boys and 11 girls) with AIS who underwent a spinal fusion surgery. We studied the full-length view of the spine (anterior-posterior and lateral) from the X-ray and MRI obtained from all patients before surgery. Postoperatively, another full-length spine X-ray and lumbosacral MRI were obtained from all participants. Then, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, curve correction, and fused and free segments before and after surgery were calculated based on Xray studies. MRI images were used to estimate the degree to which intervertebral discs were degenerated using Pfirrmann grading system. Pfirrmann grade before and after surgery were compared with Wilcoxon signed rank test. While analyzing the contribution of potential risk factors for the post-spinal fusion Pfirrmann grade of disc degeneration, we used generalized linear models with robust standard error estimates to account for intraclass correlation that may have been present between discs of the same patient. Results: The mean age of the participant was 14 years, and the mean curvature before and after surgery were 67.8 and 23.8, respectively (p <0.05). During the median follow-up of 5 years, the mean degree of the disc degeneration significantly increased in all patients after surgery (p <0.05) with a Pfirrmann grade of 1 and 2.8 in the L2–L3 before and after surgery, respectively. The corresponding figures at L3–L4, L4–L5, and L5–S1 levels were 1.28 and 2.43, 1.07 and 2.35, and 1 and 2.33, respectively. The lower was the number of free discs below the fusion level, the higher was the Pfirrmann grade of degeneration (p <0.001). Conversely, the higher was the number of the discs fused together, the higher was the Pfirrmann grade. Conclusions: we observed that the disc degeneration aggravated after spinal fusion for scoliosis. While the degree of degeneration as measured by Pfirrmann grade was directly correlated by the number of fused segments, it was negatively correlated with the number of discs that remained free below the lowermost level of the fusion.

        A New Modified Method for Inserting Iliosacral Screw versus the Conventional Method

        Sina Javidmehr,Mohammad Reza Golbakhsh,Babak Siavashi,Parham Talebian,Morteza Dehnokhalaji,Mohammad Javad Zehtab,Mohammadreza Bozorgmanesh 대한척추외과학회 2018 Asian Spine Journal Vol.12 No.1

        Study Design: Methodological study. Purpose: To our knowledge, this is the first study to introduce a new modified method for inserting iliosacral screws and to compare its results with those of a conventional method. Overview of Literature: Previous techniques, such as open reduction and internal fixation, are associated with perioperative hemorrhage, postoperative infection, and neurological deficits. Although percutaneous iliosacral screw insertion confers the advantage of being minimally invasive, leading to less blood loss and a low postoperative infection rate, it harbors the risk of screw malpositioning due to narrow sacral proportions and a high interindividual variability. Methods: Nine cadaveric pelvises were included in this study, with one hemipelvis of each being assigned to the new modified method and the other to the conventional iliosacral screw insertion method. In the new modified method, the guidewire entry point was determined using a lateral sacral X-ray. To do so, we first identified the anterosuperior quadrant of the S1 body on one hemipelvis. The anterosuperior quadrant was further divided into four imaginary quadrants, and the guidewire was inserted into the posteroinferior quadrant. The guidewire trajectory was perpendicular to the sagittal plane so that the guidewire resembled a single point in the lateral sacral view. Guidewires were inserted into corresponding hemipelves using the conventional method as described in the literature. Subsequently, an axial computed tomography scan with 1-mm fine cuts was obtained, and sagittal and coronal views were reconstructed. The distance of the guidewire from the sacral canal, anterior sacral cortex, and first sacral foramen was measured in axial, sagittal, and coronal views. The minimum measurement among different views was defined as the safety index of the insertion methods. The conventional and new modified methods were then compared in terms of safety and duration of the procedure. Results: The minimum distance of the guidewire from the S1 foramen and anterior sacral cortex was not significantly different between the two methods. However, the minimum distance between the guidewire and sacral canal was significantly greater in the new modified method than in the conventional method. The duration of guidewire insertion was significantly shorter in the new modified method than in the conventional method. Conclusions: This new modified method of iliosacral screw insertion could be safely and simply implemented while taking less surgical time than the conventional methods.
