Influence of Lateral Translation of Lowest Instrumented Vertebra on L4 Tilt and Coronal Balance for Thoracolumbar and Lumbar Curves in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Journal of clinical medicine(2023)
摘要
This study aimed to evaluate the lowest instrumented vertebra translation (LIV-T) in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar/lumbar adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and to analyze the radiographic parameters in relation to LIV-T and L4 tilt and global coronal balance. A total of 62 patients underwent posterior spinal fusion (PSF, = 32) or anterior spinal fusion (ASF, = 30) and were followed up for a minimum of 2 years. The mean preoperative LIV-T was significantly larger in the ASF group than the PSF ( < 0.01), while the final LIV-T was equivalent. LIV-T at the final follow-up was significantly correlated with L4 tilt and the global coronal balance (r = 0.69, < 0.01, r = 0.38, < 0.01, respectively). Receiver-operating characteristic analysis for good outcomes, with L4 tilt <8° and coronal balance <15 mm at the final follow-up, calculated the cutoff value of the final LIV-T as 12 mm. The cutoff value of preoperative LIV-T that would result in the LIV-T of ≤12 mm at the final follow-up was 32 mm in PSF, although no significant cutoff value was calculated in ASF. ASF can centralize the LIV better than PSF with a shorter segment fusion, and could be useful in obtaining a good curve correction and global balance without fixation to L4 in cases with large preoperative LIV-T.
