ABSTRACT
Objective:
To analyze the occurrence of rod fracture after surgery for lumbosacral deformity associated sacral agenesis and discuss the relevant salvage methods.Methods:
The clinical records of 19 patients who underwent surgical treatment for lumbosacral deformity associated sacral agenesis from January 2001 to January 2018 were retrospectively reviewed, including 11 boys and 8 girls. The average age was (9.6±5.2) years. The outcomes of surgical correction and internal fixation were evaluated by postoperative regular follow-up. We also recorded the time and position of rod fracture occurrence. The Cobb angle, coronal balance and sagittal balance were measured and compared to analyze the corresponding salvage methods and revision outcomes.Results:
Three patients encountered rod fracture during follow-up, so the incidence of rod fracture after surgery for lumbosacral deformity associated sacral agenesis was 15.8%(3/19). Based on their own conditions, we formulated the individualized strategy and performed the revision surgery through the posterior-only approach. The most critical step was abundant bone-grafting and fusion in the defected sacroiliac joint. After revision, the scoliotic Cobb angle improved in two patients (91.5° vs 47.5°, 49.0° vs 28.0°) and coronal balance improved in one patient (40.3 mm vs 24.3 mm). No complication reoccurred during follow-up.Conclusion:
The rod fracture after surgery for lumbosacral deformity associated sacral agenesis is quite common, which is probably correlated with its unique deformed structure and biomechanical characteristics. The individualized salvage methods and adequate bone-grafting and fusion for the defected sacroiliac joint will guarantee the reconstruction and maintenance of spine balance after revision.
