AbstractTo compare the surgical outcomes of autogenous spinous process with iliac bone graft in managing single segment lumbar pyogenic spondylitis (PS) after posterior debridement and instrumentation. We performed a retrospective study for adult patients with single level lumbar PS. 60 patients with single segment lumbar PS underwent one-stage posterior debridement, autogenous bone graft and instrumentations. The patients were divided into Group A (autogenous iliac bone) and Group B (autogenous spinous process). Preoperative Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was analyzed to assess the comorbidity. Low back pain was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS). Neurological status was assessed with the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) scale. Clinical infection index including the C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was also reviewed. Moreover, fusion and changes of sagittal alignment were investigated radiologically. There was a significantly longer operative time, hospital stay and greater blood loss in group A. The VAS scores improved significantly at each follow-up interval and post-operative VAS score was significantly lower in group B. At the last follow-up, ESR and CRP returned to normal for all patients. There was at least one grade level improvement in ASIA score. No statistical difference in corrected rate, loss of sagittal angle and lumbar lordosis was found between the two groups. There was no significant difference in fusion rate, mean fusion time and complications between the two groups. Compared with iliac bone graft, the autogenous spinous process bone graft can be less invasive and painful for the single segment lumbar PS. One-stage posterior debridement, autogenous spinous process bone graft and instrumentation can provide satisfactory results for appropriate cases.

Abstract Background To evaluate the mid-long term outcomes of surgical management of mono-segmental lumbar and lumbosacral spinal tuberculosis (TB) by one-stage posterior debridement, titanium mesh cage bone grafting and single-segment fixation. Methods A total of 62 patients with mono-segmental lumbar or lumbosacral spinal tuberculosis were enrolled. One-stage posterior debridement, titanium mesh cage bone grafting and single-segment fixation was performed. Clinical and radiographic outcomes were compared and analyzed. Results All patients were followed up for an average of 75.0 ± 11.5 months and completely cured at the final follow-up. C-reactive protein (CRP) and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) returned to normal within three months postoperatively. Postoperative Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, visual analog scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability index (ODI) were significantly improved compared with preoperative values. Bony fusion occurred after an average of 9.8 ± 2.6 months. The lordosis angle and lumbosacral angle were increased from preoperative 20.4 ± 2.9° and 14.7 ± 3.4°to postoperative 32.8 ± 3.6° and 22.4 ± 5.5°, with the angle loss of 1.0 ± 0.7° and 0.8 ± 0.7° at the final follow-up, respectively. No significant differences between preoperative and postoperative adjacent segment disc height (DH) were found. Conclusions one-stage posterior debridement, titanium mesh cage bone grafting and single-segment fixation can be an effective and feasible treatment option for mono-segmental lumbar and lumbosacral spinal tuberculosis in adults. It may preserve lumbar normal motor units and decrease adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) with the advantages of minimally invasion and rapid postoperative rehabilitation.

Abstract Background Many types of bone grafting have been reported for successful use in the treatment of lumbar spinal tuberculosis. However, none-structural bone grafting has rarely been studied. This study was aimed to identify the clinical efficacy of nonstructural with structural bone graft for interbody fusion in the surgical treatment of single segment lumbar tuberculosis after one stage posterior debridement.Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients with nonstructural (n=27) and structural (n=22) bone grafting after single-stage posterior debridement and instrumentation for lumbar tuberculosis with at least 24 months of follow-up. Plain radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography scans, and health-related outcomes (e.g., Visual Analog Scale for back pain, the Oswestry Disability Index) were collected and analyzed before and after surgery. Results Both nonstructural and structural bone grafting were associated with significant improvements in the life quality parameters, the laboratory tests, and the Cobb angle of local kyphosis. A slight loss of Cobb angle correction was observed in two groups. Nonstructural bone grafting exhibited the advantages of less operation duration, blood loss and lower bone fusion rate compared with structural bone grafting. There were three complications in the nonstructural bone grafting and four complications in the structural bone grafting group, with no significant difference between two groups.Conclusions In conclusion, nonstructural bone grafting can achieve comparable interbody fusion to structural bone grafting but has less surgical trauma and simpler surgical procedure than structural bone grafting in the treatment of single segment lumbar tuberculosis after one stage posterior debridement and pedicle screws fixation.

Background: To compare the clinical efficacy of granular bone grafts and transverse process bone grafts for single-segmental thoracic tuberculosis (TB).Methods: The clinical records of 52 patients who were diagnosed with single-segmental thoracic TB and treated by one stage posterior debridement, bone graft fusion, and internal fixation in our department from 2015 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 25 cases were in the granular bone graft group and 27 cases in the transverse processes bone graft group. Outcomes including the visual analog scale (VAS), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), neurological function, operative time, operative blood loss, hospital stay, Cobb angle, bone graft fusion time, and postoperative complications were all recorded and analyzed.Results: There were no significant differences in operative time, operative blood loss, and hospital stay between the two groups (P > 0.05). With an average follow-up of 18–33 months, all patients in the two groups showed significant improvement in VAS score, ESR, CRP, and neurological function compared with preoperative measurements (P < 0.05), however, no significant differences were found for the last follow-up (P > 0.05). The two groups showed similar Cobb angle correction (P > 0.05), but the granular bone graft group had a larger Cobb angle loss than the transverse processes bone graft group (P < 0.05). The bone graft fusion time of the granular bone graft group was shorter than that of the transverse processes bone graft group (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found in the postoperative complications rate between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion: Granular bone grafts and transverse process bone grafts may achieve comparable clinical efficacy for single-segmental thoracic TB, but the former method had a shorter bone fusion time.
