Global Spine J 2019 May 8;9(1 Suppl):15S-21S. Epub 2019 May 8.

AOSpine Knowledge Forum Deformity, Davos, Switzerland.

Study Design: Retrospective case study on prospectively collected data.

Objectives: The purpose of this explorative study was: 1) to determine if patterns of spinal cord injury could be detected through intra-operative neuromonitoring (IONM) changes in pediatric patients undergoing spinal deformity corrections, 2) to identify if perfusion based or direct trauma causes of IONM changes could be distinguished, 3) to observe the effects of the interventions performed in response to these events, and 4) to attempt to identify different treatment algorithms for the different causes of IONM alerts.

Methods: Prospectively collected neuromonitoring data in pre-established forms on consecutive pediatric patients undergoing coronal spinal deformity surgery at a single center was reviewed. Real-time data was collected on IONM alerts with >50% loss in signal. Patients with alerts were divided into 2 groups: unilateral changes (direct cord trauma), and bilateral MEP changes (cord perfusion deficits).

Results: A total of 97 pediatric patients involving 71 females and 26 males with a mean age of 14.9 (11-18) years were included in this study. There were 39 alerts in 27 patients (27.8% overall incidence). All bilateral changes responded to a combination of transfusion, increasing blood pressure, and rod removal. Unilateral changes as a result of direct trauma, mainly during laminotomies for osteotomies, improved with removal of the causative agent. Following corrective actions in response to the alerts, all cases were completed as planned. Signal returned to near baseline in 20/27 patients at closure, with no new neurological deficits in this series.

Conclusion: A high incidence of alerts occurred in this series of cases. Dividing IONM changes into perfusion-based vs direct trauma directed treatment to the offending cause, allowing for safe corrections of the deformities. Patients did not need to recover IONM signal to baseline to have a normal neurological examination.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021 Apr 16;22(1):357. Epub 2021 Apr 16.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tokyo Medical and Dental University, 1 Chome-5-45 Yushima, Bunkyo City, Tokyo, 113-8510, Japan.

Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) has been found to increase the risk of postoperative complications in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD). However, few studies have investigated this by directly comparing patients with PD and those without PD.

Methods: In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, we reviewed all surgically treated ASD patients with at least 2 years of follow-up. Read More

Do readmissions and reoperations adversely affect patient-reported outcomes following complex adult spinal deformity surgery at a minimum 2 years postoperative?

Authors:
Nathan J Lee Meghan Cerpa Eric Leung Zeeshan M Sardar Ronald A Lehman Lawrence G Lenke

Spine Deform 2021 Apr 16. Epub 2021 Apr 16.

Department of Orthopaedics, Columbia University Medical Center, The Och Spine Hospital at New York-Presbyterian, 161 Fort Washington Avenue, New York, NY, 10032, USA.

Background: Unplanned readmissions and reoperations are known to be associated with undesirable costs and potentially inferior outcomes in complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. A paucity of literature exists on the impact of readmissions/reoperations on patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in this population.

Methods: Consecutively treated adult patients who underwent complex ASD surgery at a single institution from 2015-2018 and minimum 2-year follow-up were studied. Read More

Traditional Dual Growing Rod Technique in the Management of Early Onset Scoliosis and Its Effects on Spinal Growth and Lung Development: The Mid-Term Prospective Results.

Authors:
Bertan Cengiz Haci Mustafa Ozdemir Abdurrahman Sakaogullari Metin Isik Nevres Hürriyet Aydoğan

Cureus 2021 Apr 11;13(4):e14422. Epub 2021 Apr 11.

Orthopedics and Traumatology, Mugla Sitki Kocman University, Muğla, TUR.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the traditional dual growing rod (TDGR) technique, using only pedicle screws for fixation with more frequent lengthening while evaluating scoliosis correction in the growing spine, spinal growth rates, and the differences in lung volumes.

Patients And Methods: In this single-centre prospective study, 27 patients with a follow-up of over three years were included in the study. Only pedicle screws were used as foundations for fixation. Read More

The Approach to Pseudarthrosis After Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery: Is a Multiple-Rod Construct Necessary?

Authors:
Michael Dinizo Peter Passias Khaled Kebaish Thomas J Errico Tina Raman

Global Spine J 2021 Apr 16:21925682211001880. Epub 2021 Apr 16.

Study Design: Retrospective study.

Objectives: Our goal was to evaluate the rate of rod fracture and persistent pseudarthrosis in cohorts of patients treated with a dual rod or multiple-rod construct in revision surgery for pseudarthrosis.

Methods: A dual rod construct was used in 23 patients, and a multiple rod construct in 24 patients, spanning the pseudarthrosis level. Read More

Evaluation of Global Alignment and Proportion Score in an Independent Database.

Spine J 2021 Apr 12. Epub 2021 Apr 12.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Barnes-Jewish Institute of Health, Washington University, St Louis, Missouri, USA.

Background Context: Sagittal spinopelvic alignment has been associated with patient-reported outcome measures and mechanical complication rates. Recently, it was claimed that linear numerical values of pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis measurements may be misleading for patients that have different magnitudes of pelvic incidence. The use of "relative" measurements embedded in a weighted scoring of Global Alignment and Proportion (GAP) was proposed. Read More
