ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Few studies have been conducted to evaluate the precise impact of corrective surgery on sagittal spinal realignment and clinical outcomes in cases of delayed thoracolumbar osteoporotic fracture-related kyphosis. To assess the efficacy of corrective surgery on sagittal spinal alignment and investigate the relationship between spinal alignment and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with delayed thoracolumbar osteoporotic fracture-related kyphosis.METHODS:
A total of 78 patients were enrolled. The characteristics and surgical variables were meticulously documented. The sagittal spinal parameters were measured, and the HRQoL was evaluated using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), SF-12 Physical Component Score (SF-12 PCS), and Scoliosis Research Society-22 Patient Questionnaire (SRS-22) before and after surgery. The changes in spinal parameters and HRQoL were analyzed through the paired t -test. The Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation of parameters with HRQoL. Then, a multiple stepwise regression analysis was performed with HRQoL scores as the dependent variable and spinal parameters as the independent variable.RESULTS:
The operative time was 185.9 ± 33.2 min, and the estimated blood loss was 782.8 ± 145.2 mL. The results of the paired t -test revealed a significant difference preoperatively and at the final follow-up in the thoracic kyphosis, thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), lumbar lordosis, T9 tilt, pelvic tilt, sacral slope, sagittal vertical axis, and spinosacral angle as well as the ODI, SF-12 PCS, and SRS-22 ( P < .05). Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that TLK and pelvic tilt, TLK and sagittal vertical axis, and TLK were the primary parameters affecting the ODI, SF-12 PCS, and SRS-22, respectively.CONCLUSION:
Corrective surgery can effectively realign the global spine and improve HRQoL in patients with delayed thoracolumbar osteoporotic fracture-related kyphosis. The change of TLK is a driving factor to realign the global spine.
