Role of posterior stabilisation in the management of tuberculosis of the dorsal and lumbar spine

We present a prospective study of patients with tuberculosis of the dorsal, dorsolumbar and lumbar spine after combined anterior (radical debridement and anterior fusion) and posterior (instrumentation and fusion) surgery. The object was to study the progress of interbody union, the extent of correction of the kyphosis and its maintenance with early mobilisation, and the incidence of graft and implant-related problems. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) score was used to assess the neurological status. The mean preoperative vertebral loss was highest (0.96) in the dorsal spine. The maximum correction of the kyphosis in the dorsolumbar spine was 17.8 degrees. Loss of correction was maximal in the lumbosacral spine at 13.7 degrees. All patients had firm anterior fusion at a mean of five months. The incidence of infection was 3.9% and of graft-related problems 6.5%. We conclude that adjuvant posterior stabilisation allows early mobilisation and rehabilitation. Graft-related problems were fewer and the progression and maintenance of correction of the kyphosis were better than with anterior surgery alone. There is no additional risk relating to the use of an implant either posteriorly or anteriorly even when large quantities of pus are present.

Anterior radical debridement and anterior instrumentation in tuberculosis spondylitis

The conventional procedure in the treatment of vertebral tuberculosis is drainage of the abscess, curettage of the devitalized vertebra and application of an antituberculous chemotherapy regimen. Posterior instrumentation results are encouraging in the prevention or treatment of late kyphosis; however, a second-stage operation is needed. Recently, posterolateral or transpedicular drainage without anterior drainage or posterior instrumentation following anterior drainage in the same session has become the preferred treatment, in order that kyphotic deformity can be avoided. Information on the use of anterior instrumentation along with radical debridement and fusion is scarce. This study reports on the surgical results of 63 patients with Pott's disease who underwent anterior radical debridement with anterior fusion and anterior instrumentation (23 patients with Z-plate and 40 patients with CDH system). Average age at the time of operation was 46.8+/-13.4 years. Average duration of follow-up was 50.9+/-12.9 months. Local kyphosis was measured preoperatively, postoperatively and at the last follow-up visit as the angle between the upper and lower end plates of the collapsed vertebrae. Vertebral collapse, destruction, cold abscess, and canal compromise were assessed on magnetic resonance (MR) images. It was observed that the addition of anterior instrumentation increased the rate of correction of the kyphotic deformity (79.7+/-20.1%), and was effective in maintaining it, with an average loss of 1.1 degrees +/-1.7 degrees. Of the 25 patients (39.7%) with neurological symptoms, 20 (80%) had full and 4 (16%) partial recoveries. There were very few intraoperative and postoperative complications (major vessel complication: 3.2%; secondary non-specific infection: 3.2%). Disease reactivation was not seen with the employment of an aggressive chemotherapy regimen. It was concluded that anterior instrumentation is a safe and effective method in the treatment of tuberculosis spondylitis.

Six Years Follow-up of Spinal Tuberculosis Treated by Anterior Debridement, Instrumentation and Bone Grafting

Tuberculosis of the spine comprises approximately 50% of all skeletal cases. 50 years ago, costotranseversectomy was the preferred surgical treatment. The primary limitation of costotranseversectomy has the difficulty exposing the entire phlegmon. Frequently multiple debridement were required to adequately remove all evidence of infection. In the 1970s, posterior debridement was used. Posterior debridement also had many disad- vantages, including long-term bed rest, increased risk of pulmonary and urinary infection, poor fusion rate, and high recurrence rate of infection, and residual kyphosis . Because of the limitations with posterior and posterior lateral approaches, anterior approaches for debridement, instrumentation, and bone grafting are more commonly used today. Anterior treatment will prevent progression of kyphosis, prevent recurrence, and protect the position of the graft material.     

一期前路病灶清除椎间植骨联合内固定治疗脊柱结核

One-stage posterior debridement, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion and instrumentation in treatment of lumbar spinal tuberculosis: a retrospective case series

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of surgical management by one-stage posterior debridement, transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and instrumentation and combined posterior and anterior approaches for lumbar spinal tuberculosis, and determine the clinical effectiveness of the posterior only surgical treatment for lumbar spinal TB at the same time.

Methods

Thirty-seven patients who suffered lumbar tuberculosis were treated by two different surgical procedures in our center from May 2004 to June 2012. All the cases were divided into two groups: 19 cases in Group A underwent one-stage posterior debridement, TLIF and instrumentation, and 18 cases in Group B underwent posterior instrumentation, anterior debridement and bone graft in a single-stage procedure. The operation time, blood loss, lumbar kyphotic angle, recovery of neurological function and fusion time were, respectively, compared between Group A and Group B.

Results

The average follow-up period for Group A was 46.6 ± 16.7 months, and for Group B, 47.5 ± 15.0 months. It was obvious that the average operative duration and blood loss of Group A was less than those of Group B. Lumbar tuberculosis was completely cured and the grafted bones were fused in 10 months in all patients. There was no persistence or recurrence of infection and no differences in the radiological results in both groups. The kyphosis was significantly corrected after surgical management. The average pretreatment ESR was 60.7 ± 22.5 mm/h, which became normal (9.0 ± 2.8 mm/h) within 3 months in all patients.

Conclusions

Surgical management by one-stage posterior debridement, TLIF and instrumentation for lumbar tuberculosis is feasible and effective. This approach obtained better clinical outcomes than combined posterior and anterior surgeries.     

Anterior debridement and fusion followed by posterior pedicle screw fixation in pyogenic spondylodiscitis: autologous iliac bone strut versus cage

OBJECT: An anterior approach for debridement and fusion with autologous bone graft has been recommended as the gold standard for surgical treatment of pyogenic spondylodiscitis. The use of anterior foreign body implants at the site of active infection is still a challenging procedure for spine surgeons. Several authors have recently introduced anterior grafting with titanium mesh cages instead of autologous bone strut in the treatment of spondylodiscitis. The authors present their experience of anterior fusion with 3 types of cages followed by posterior pedicle screw fixation. They also compare their results with the use of autologous iliac bone strut. METHODS: The authors retrospectively reviewed the cases of 60 patients with pyogenic spondylodiscitis treated by anterior debridement between January 2003 and April 2005. Fusion using either cages or iliac bone struts was performed during the same course of anesthesia followed by posterior fixation. Twenty-three patients underwent fusion with autologous iliac bone strut, and 37 patients underwent fusion with 1 of the 3 types of cages. RESULTS: The infections resolved in all patients, as noted by normalization of their erythrocyte sedimentation rates and C-reactive protein levels. Patients in both groups were evaluated in terms of their preoperative and postoperative clinical and imaging findings. CONCLUSIONS: Single-stage anterior debridement and cage fusion followed by posterior pedicle screw fixation can be effective in the treatment of pyogenic spondylodiscitis. There was no difference in clinical and imaging outcomes between the strut group and cage group except for the subsidence rate. The subsidence rate was higher in the strut group than in the cage group. The duration until subsidence was also shorter in the strut group than in the cage group.     

一期病灶清除植骨融合前后路联合内固定治疗复发性胸腰椎结核

目的探讨一期病灶清除植骨融合前后路联合内固定治疗复发性胸腰椎结核的临床疗效。方法回顾性分析自2011-09—2014-09一期病灶清除植骨融合前后路联合内固定术治疗的46例复发性胸腰椎结核。比较术前、术后2周、末次随访时VAS评分、ODI指数、Cobb角、C7矢状位铅垂线(SVA值)。按Brantigan标准评价植骨融合情况。结果 46例均获得(29.7±5.1)个月随访。术后抗结核药物治疗(21.8±3.4)个月。按Brantigan标准,46例植骨融合时间(8.5±2.4)个月,其中D级21例,E级25例。术后2周VAS评分明显低于术前,差异有统计学意义(P0.05);末次随访与术后2周的VAS评分差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。术后2周ODI指数明显低于术前,且末次随访ODI指数明显低于术后2周,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。术后2周SVA值、Cobb角均较术前改善,差异有统计学意义(P0.05),且末次随访时均未丢失。结论一期病灶清除植骨融合前后路联合内固定治疗复发性胸腰椎结核不但可以有效缓解胸腰背部疼痛、恢复患者自主生活能力并使脊柱结核达到临床治愈标准,还可以矫正后凸畸形、恢复脊柱矢状面平衡并重建脊柱稳定性。
