ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate the influence of slippage reduction and correction of lumbosacral kyphosis by L5-S1 single-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) on spinal alignment and clinical outcomes including postoperative complications in patients with dysplastic spondylolisthesis (DS).METHODS:
Twenty consecutive patients with symptomatic and severe DS who underwent L5-S1 single-level PLIF with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up after surgery were included. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) and visual analog scale (VAS) scores for low back and leg pain obtained on preoperative and postoperative examinations. Postoperative instrumentation failure and L5 radiculopathy were also evaluated. The preoperative and postoperative spinopelvic parameters were measured.RESULTS:
The JOA score significantly improved from 21.5 ± 4.8 (preoperative) to 27.0 ± 2.5 (postoperative), with a mean recovery rate of 75.0% ± 30.4%. The VAS score for low back pain significantly improved from 44.5 ± 30.1 (preoperative) to 11.5 ± 15.9 (postoperative), and that for leg pain significantly improved from 31.0 ± 33.2 (preoperative) to 5.0 ± 10.2 (postoperative). The slip percentage (% slip) significantly improved from 59.6% ± 13.5% (preoperative) to 25.2% ± 15.0% (postoperative). The lumbosacral angle (LSA) significantly improved from 12.3° ± 9.5° (preoperative) to 1.0° ± 4.9° (postoperative). L5-S1 PLIF led to significant improvement of lumbar lordosis (from 52.0° ± 15.9° to 59.7° ± 8.0°) and pelvic incidence - lumbar lordosis mismatch (from 23.9° ± 20.6° to 13.3° ± 10.0°). Correction of lumbosacral kyphosis had a significant positive correlation with postoperative pelvic tilt (PT) (r = 0.50, P = 0.02), while postoperative % slip did not have a significant correlation with postoperative PT.CONCLUSIONS:
L5-S1 PLIF for DS provided good clinical outcomes. Correction of lumbosacral kyphosis had a positive impact on regaining ideal spinopelvic balance and may be beneficial in the setting of treating DS.
