ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare the clinical outcomes and radiographic outcomes of cortical bone trajectory (CBT) and traditional trajectory (TT) pedicle screw fixation in patients treated with single-level transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF).METHODS:
This trial included a total of 224 patients with lumbar spine disease who required single-level TLIF surgery. Patients were randomly assigned to the CBT and TT groups at a 11 ratio. Demographics and clinical and radiographic data were collected to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CBT and TT screw fixation in TLIF.RESULTS:
The baseline characteristic data were similar between the CBT and TT groups. Back and leg pain for both the CBT and TT groups improved significantly from baseline to 24 months postoperatively. The CBT group experienced less pain than the TT group at one week postoperatively. The postoperative radiographic results showed that the accuracy of screw placement was significantly increased in the CBT group compared with the TT group (P < 0.05). The CBT group had a significantly lower rate of FJV than the TT group (P < 0.05). In addition, the rate of fusion and the rate of screw loosening were similar between the CBT and TT groups according to screw loosening criteria.CONCLUSION:
This prospective, randomized controlled analysis suggests that clinical outcomes and radiographic characteristics, including fusion rates and caudal screw loosening rates, were comparable between CBT and TT screw fixation. Compared with the TT group, the CBT group showed advantages in the accuracy of screw placement and the FJV rate. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION This trial has been registered at the US National Institutes of Health Clinical Trials Registry NCT03105167.Palavras-chave
