Anterior Column Reconstruction

Abstract INTRODUCTION Anterior Column Reconstruction (ACR) is an increasingly utilized minimally invasive alternative to Pedicle Subtraction Osteotomy (PSO) for correction of sagittal plane deformity in patients with an available unfused lumbar disc. METHODS Fifteen consecutive patients with significant sagittal plane imbalance (SVA > 10 cm or PI-LL mismatch/planned correction > 30?) after prior lumbar fusion were analyzed. Patients underwent either an ACR (N = 11) using an expandable, hyperlordotic lateral interbody device if possible via an unfused disc space, or PSO (n = 4). RESULTS There were no significant differences between the baseline sagittal parameters in the ACR and PSO groups: PI: 59.09? vs 57.67?, P = .88; LL 18.36? vs 28.50?, P = .38; PT: 32.72? vs 37.00?, P = .64; SVA: 12.72 cm vs 11.95 cm P = .77; segmental angulation 2.72? vs 2.75?, P = .99. ACR produced significant improvements in sagittal parameters after surgery compared with preoperative parameters: LL 55.27?, P = .0001; Pi-LL Mismatch 3.45?, P = .0001; PT 22.45?, P = .0254; SVA 4.621 cm P = .0019; segmental angle 25.09?, P < .0001. PSO also produced significant segmental lordosis (29.00?, P = .0032), which was not significantly different from the correction achieved by ACR (25.09? vs 29.00?, P = .47). In ACR, an average of 24.31? of lordosis was achieved at the index level, with an average cage expansion of 24.08?. There was no significant difference in the number of levels fused posteriorly between the ACR and PSO groups (7 vs 8.75 levels, P = .175) or length of surgery (375.25 min vs 370.5 min, P = .47). However, there was significantly less blood loss in the ACR group (311.15 mL vs 962.5 mL, P = .0004) and shorter length of stay (7.41 d vs 11 d, P = .034). CONCLUSION ACR with a hyperlordotic, expandable lateral interbody cage for significant sagittal deformity produced an equivalent degree of sagittal correction to PSO with significantly less blood loss and shorter hospital length of stay.

Abstract Spinal deformity management can be difficult. The decision for surgery, approach, number of levels, and surgical technique all present challenges. Even when other issues are managed appropriately the process of how to correct the deformity needs special consideration. Numerous techniques have been studied including vertebra-to-rod, rod de-rotation, 3-rod-techniques, and cantilever maneuvers. While cantilever is the preferred technique when treating sagittal plane deformity, scoliosis often requires a combination of techniques due to the complexity of deformity in coronal and transverse planes. This video illustrates an adult scoliosis correction using sequential reduction towers and de-rotation techniques. Using this method the step of hook holders is eliminated and tension is distributed evenly across the rod using sequential reduction of the reduction towers across the length of the rod. This has led to a very efficient correction of our deformity as well as a powerful de-rotation tool. We routinely use this technique for flexible and rigid deformities, which is assessed pre-op with a computed tomography. The patient is a 67-yr-old female with prior lumbar decompressions and worsening back pain with radiculopathy. No significant sagittal malalignment is present but pelvic tilt is elevated and a coronal deformity exists. pelvic incidence measures 59°, LL50°, PT28° and lumbar scoliosis shows a coronal Cobb angle of 50.8°. Briefly, surgery involved transpedicular instrumentation from T10-S1 with bilateral iliac screw fixation. To achieve mobility posterior column osteotomies were performed at T12-L1, L1-2, L2-3, L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1 levels. TLIF was performed at L4-5, L5-S1 for fusion. Postoperative scoliosis X-rays demonstrated improved sagittal and coronal alignment with PI59°, LL59°, PT22°, and coronal Cobb angle of 12°.

Study Design: Review of the literature. Objectives: Anterior column realignment (ACR) is a powerful but relatively new minimally invasive technique for deformity correction. The purpose of this study is to provide a literature review of the ACR surgical technique, reported outcomes, and future directions. Methods: A review of the literature was performed regarding the ACR technique. A review of patients at our single center who underwent ACR was performed, with illustrative cases selected to demonstrate basic and nuanced aspects of the technique. Results: Clinical and cadaveric studies report increases in segmental lordosis in the lumbar spine by 73%, approximately 10° to 33°, depending on the degree of posterior osteotomy and lordosis of the hyperlordosis interbody spacer. These corrections have been found to be associated with a similar risk profile compared with traditional surgical options, including a 30% to 43% risk of proximal junctional kyphosis in early studies. Conclusions: ACR represents a powerful technique in the minimally invasive spinal surgeon’s toolbox for treatment of complex adult spinal deformity. The technique is capable of significant sagittal plane correction; however, future research is necessary to ascertain the safety profile and long-term durability of ACR.
