Objectives:To compare the clinical efficacy between robot-assisted cortical bone trajectory screw(RCBTS)and robot-assisted pedicle screw(RPS)for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis(LSS)undergoing sin-gle-level decompression and fusion.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study,LSS patients who underwent robot-assisted single-level decompression and fusion in Beijing Shijitan Hospital between June 2020 and June 2022 were reviewed.A total of 99 patients were included and divided into RCBTS group of 41 patients and RPS group of 58 patients.There were 59 males and 40 females,with an average age of 67.07±4.65 years old.The incision length,operative time,intraoperative blood loss,24h postoperative drainage,and postopera-tive hospital stay were compared between groups.The Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)score and visual analogue scale(VAS)of low back pain were compared at 3d,3 months and 6 months after operation,and the fixed effects of JOA score and VAS score changes were tested.The screw positions were graded according to the Gertzbein-Robbins method.The accuracy of screw placement of the two surgical methods was evaluated by reviewing the postoperative imaging data.The perioperative and postoperative 3 months of complications were compared between the two groups.Results:There were no significant differences in baseline data be-tween the two groups(P＜0.05).Comparing with the RPS group,the RCBTS group was shorter in operative time(134.39±22.23min vs 152.93±19.10min,P＜0.001),smaller in incision length(64.93±3.71mm vs 78.84±3.82mm,P＜0.001),less in intraoperative blood loss(155.61±37.15mL vs 172.41±43.22mL,P=0.001)and postoperative drainage within 24h(83.66±21.54mL vs 101.21±29.80mL,P=0.002),and shorter in postoperative hospital stay(4.90±1.26d vs 6.26±1.66d,P＜0.001),with statistical significance.There was no significant difference in JOA score and VAS score changes between the two groups at each time point(P＞0.05).The fixed effect test showed that time was a fixed effect of JOA and VAS score changes(P＜0.001).The RCBTS group was no sig-nificantly different from the RPS group in the accuracy of screw placement(grade A:152/164 vs 211/232,P=0.538;grade B:9/164 vs 15/232,P=0.688;grade C:3/164 vs 6/232,P=0.619),the rate of clinically accept-able screw placement(161/164 vs 226/232,P=0.619),the rate of bad screw placement(3/164 vs 6/232,P=0.619),and the incidence of postoperative complications(only 1 patient in the RCBTS group developed delayed wound healing)(P＞0.05).Conclusions:Compared with RPS,RCBTS has significant advantages in operative time,incision length,intraoperative blood loss,volume of postoperative drainage,and postoperative hospital stay.However,there is no significant difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative functional recovery and alleviation in low back pain.

Objective To discuss bilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) or percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) using inside and outside intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC) respectively with bone cement injection for the treatment of Kümmell disease.Methods From January 2008 to October 2015,16 cases of Kümmell disease patients were treated with bilateral PVP or PKP with inside and outside IVC perfusion of bone cement respectively.Of 16 cases,6 were male and 10 were female,aged from 63 to 94 years,with a disease duration from 2 to 15 months.The bone mineral density of every patient was measured by dual-energy X-rayabsorptiometry.The T value ranged from-4.3 to-2.6.Fractures located from T10 to L4,including 2 cases of multiple fractures.Postoperative X-ray was used to observe the vertebral bone cement leakage and anterior height changes of affected vertebrae.Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to evaluate pain status and functional activity.Results All cases were followed up for 12-96 months.Cement leakage occurred in 4 patients without nerve complications.The anterior height of affected vertebrae before operation,2 d after operation and at the last follow-up was (50.3 ± 8.3)％,(67.1 ± 8.1)％ and (65.2 ± 6.4)％.The anterior height of affected vertebrae 2 d after operation and at the last follow-up were significantly improved compared with those before operation (P ＜ 0.05),but there were no significant differences between 2 d after operation and at the last follow-up (P ＞ 0.05).The scores of VAS before operation,2 d after operation and at the last followup was (8.63-± 1.23),(2.56 ± 3.48) and (1.38 ± 0.92) scores,and the scores of ODI was (82.1 ± 6.7)％,(28.5 ± 7.3)％ and (22.1 ± 8.2)％.The scores of VAS and ODI 2 d after operation and at the last follow-up were significantly decreased compared with those before operation (P ＜ 0.05),but there were no significant difference between 2 d after operation and at the last follow-up (P ＞ 0.05).There was no postoperative in situ or adjacent vertebral fracture.Conclusions Using internal and external IVC bone cement injection for treatment of Kümmell disease has a good clinical curative effect.It can effectively relieve back pain symptoms,reduce intraoperative and postoperative bone cement leakage and recurrent adjacent or in situ vertebral fracture.
