RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: A photodynamic bone stabilization system (PBSS) is a percutaneous operating method that provides intramedullary stabilization. The purpose of the study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcome after treatment of pubic ramus fractures with the PBSS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a retrospective study, patients with osteoporotic pubic ramus fractures were included. The patients were treated with the PBSS in a percutaneous method. In the routine follow-up examination, pain was measured with the visual analog scale (VAS) and the type of mobilization was verified. Computer tomography of the pelvis was carried out in the follow-up examination (mean of 7.5 months after surgery) to investigate bone healing. RESULTS: A total of 32 patients (25 females and 7 males) were included in the study. The average hospital stay was 16.5 ± 7.9 days (range: 5-37 days) and the mean operation time was 116.8 ± 47.1 minutes (range: 33-255 minutes). Two cases of wound infections and 1 case of misplacement of the PBSS implant with revision surgery have been documented. The mean VAS score for pelvic/hip pain at the day of inpatient discharge was 4.4 ± 1.4 (range: 2-7). A total of 25 patients could attend the follow-up examination 7.5 ± 1.7 months (range: 6-14) after the procedure, reporting a mean VAS for pelvic/hip pain of 3.0 ± 2.2 (range: 0-8). A total of 11 patients could walk without an orthopedic walking device, 7 patients needed underarm crutches, 6 patients used a walker-rollator, and 1 patient was immobilized. Consolidated pubis ramus fractures were described in 24 (96%) cases. DISCUSSION: The results of our study reveal adequate clinical and radiological outcomes after treatment of osteoporotic pubic ramus fractures with the PBSS. This is the first study investigating the outcome after treating pubic ramus fractures with the PBSS. CONCLUSION: Based on our findings, the PBSS is an alternative to known techniques for the stabilization of the pubic ramus.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Dynamic spine implants were developed to prevent adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) and adjacent segment disease (ASDi). Purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical and radiological outcomes of "topping off" devices following lumbar spinal fusion procedure using a PEEK-based dynamic rod system. Moreover, this study focused on the hypothesis that "topping off" devices can prevent ASD. METHODS: This prospective nonrandomized study included patients with indication for single-level lumbar fusion and radiological signs of ASD without instability. The exclusion criteria were previous lumbar spine surgery and no sign of disc degeneration in the adjacent segment according to magnetic resonance imaging. All patients were treated with single-level lumbar interbody fusion and dynamic stabilization of the cranial adjacent segment. Patients underwent a clinical examination and radiographs preoperatively and at 1 and 2 years after surgery. Analyses were performed on clinical data collected with the German Spine Registry using the core outcome measure index (COMI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores for back and leg pain. RESULTS: A total of 22 patients (6 male and 16 female) with an average age of 57.6 years were included in the study; 20 patients completed the follow-up (FU). The average COMI score was 9.0 preoperatively, 4.2 at the 1-year FU, and 4.7 at the 2-year FU. The average preoperative VAS scores for back and leg pain were 7.7 and 7.1, respectively. At the 1-year FU, the scores were 4.25 for back pain and 2.2 for leg pain, and at the 2-year FU, the scores were 4.7 for back pain and 2.3 for leg pain. At FU, failure of the dynamic topping off implant material was verified in four cases, and ASD of the segment cranial to the topping off was confirmed in three cases. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate significant improvements in clinical outcomes and pain reduction after lumbar spinal fusion with topping off at 2 years after surgery. However, the implant failed due to the high rate of implant failure and the development of ASD in the segment cranial to the dynamic stabilized segment.
