Background Although segmental wire fixation has been successful in the treatment of nonathletes with spondylolysis, no information exists on the results of this type of surgery in athletes. Purpose To evaluate the outcome of surgical repair of pars interarticularis defect by segmental wire fixation in young athletes with lumbar spondylolysis. Methods Between 1993 and 2000, 20 athletes (6 women and 14 men; average age, 23.7) with lumbar spondylolysis were treated surgically with this technique. They were actively engaged in sports such as baseball, tennis, and golf. Nineteen athletes had one level of spondylolysis and one athlete had two levels. The level of spondylolysis was L4 in 2 athletes and L5 in 19. The average follow-up period was 3.5 years (range, 1.3 to 8.6). Surgical outcome was evaluated by radiographic examination, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score, preoperative and postoperative sports activity levels and intensities, and the presence of complications. Results Bony fusion at the site of spondylolysis was obtained in all cases, and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association score was increased significantly after surgery (preoperatively, 21.2 ± 3.9; postoperatively, maximum 27.7 ± 1.0; recovery rate, 80.4%). All of the patients returned to their sports activities, although at varying degrees. No severe complications were noted. Conclusion We recommend this technique in cases of lumbar spondylolysis in athletes who hope to resume their sports activities.

Object Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) can result in significant myelopathy. Surgical treatment for OPLL has been extensively documented in the literature, but less data exist on conservative management of this condition. Methods The authors conducted a systematic review to identify all reported cases of OPLL that were conservatively managed without surgery. Results The review yielded 11 published studies reporting on a total of 480 patients (range per study 1–359 patients) over a mean follow-up period of 14.6 years (range 0.4–26 years). Of these 480 patients, 348 (72.5%) were without myelopathy on initial presentation, whereas 76 patients (15.8%) had signs of myelopathy; in 56 cases (15.8%), the presence of myelopathy was not specified. The mean aggregate Japanese Orthopaedic Association score on presentation for 111 patients was 15.3. Data available for 330 patients who initially presented without myelopathy showed progression to myelopathy in 55 (16.7%), whereas the other 275 (83.3%) remained progression free. In the 76 patients presenting with myelopathy, 37 (48.7%) showed clinical progression, whereas 39 (51.5%) remained clinically unchanged or improved. Conclusions Patients who present without myelopathy have a high chance of remaining progression free. Those who already have signs of myelopathy at presentation may benefit from surgery due to a higher rate of progression over continued follow-up.

Abstract BACKGROUND Studies have investigated the impact of obesity in thoracolumbar surgery; however, the effect of obesity on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is unknown. OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between obesity and PROs following elective ACDF. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing ACDF for degenerative conditions were evaluated. Patients were divided into groups with a body mass index ≥35. The EuroQol-5D, Short-Form 12 (SF-12), modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association score, and Neck Disability Index were used. Correlations between PROs and obesity were calculated at baseline and 1 year. RESULTS A total of 299 patients were included, with 80 obese (27%) and 219 nonobese (73%). patients At baseline, obesity was associated with worse myelopathy (modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association score: 10.7 vs 12.2, P = .01), general physical health (SF-12 physical component scale score: 28.7 vs 31.8, P = .02), and general mental health (SF-12 mental component scale score: 38.9 vs 42.3, P = .04). All PROs improved significantly following surgery in both groups. There was no difference in absolute scores and change scores for any PRO at 12 months following surgery. Furthermore, there was no difference in the percentage of patients achieving a minimal clinically important difference for the Neck Disability Index (52% vs 56%, P = .51) and no difference in patient satisfaction (85% vs 85%, P = .85) between groups. CONCLUSION Obesity was not associated with less improvement in PROs following ACDF. There was no difference in the proportion of patients satisfied with surgery and those achieving a minimal clinically important difference across all PROs. Obese patients may therefore achieve meaningful improvement following elective ACDF.

Objective. This study was aimed at evaluating the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous lateral lumbar discectomy (PLLD) in treating patients with lumber disc herniation.Methods. A total of 183 patients with lumbar disc herniation were recruited to receive PLLD surgery from April 2006 to October 2011. All the adverse effects were recorded during the follow-up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after PLLD. The clinical outcomes were determined by visual analog scale and Japanese Orthopaedic Association score.Results. The surgery was performed successfully in all patients (102 males and 81 females aged from 21 to 66 years) with a mean 16.6-month follow-up (range from 26 to 65 months). No postoperative complications, including intestinal and vascular complications, nerve injuries, and postoperative infections, were associated with PLLD. At one month after surgery, visual analog scale (3.12±1.44versus6.76±2.31,P<0.05) was significantly lower than the baseline and was sustained until 24 months after surgery (3.25±1.78versus6.76±2.31,P<0.05). Besides that, Japanese Orthopaedic Association score (25.25±3.21versus11.78±2.38,P<0.05) was increased when compared to the baseline.Conclusions. PLLD was a promising, mini-invasive, and effective treatment for lumber disc herniation.
