Abstract
Background and Objectives: There are few reports describing the radiographic correction of vertebral slippage in lateral interbody fusion and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis. [Objectives] We evaluated the intraoperative surgical correction obtained by lateral interbody fusion and percutaneous pedicle screw procedures. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients were included in this study. According to the Meyerding classification, 35 cases were Grade 1 and 15 cases were Grade 2. Mean age was 64.7 ± 6.4 years old. Seventeen cases were male, and 33 cases were female. The mean preoperative % slip was 21.1 ± 7.0%. After lateral interbody fusion, vertebral slippage was corrected using reduction technique by percutaneous pedicle screw. Results: The slippage of vertebra was reduced to 11.5 ± 6.5% after lateral interbody fusion procedure and 4.0 ± 6.0% after percutaneous pedicle screw procedure. One year after surgery, the slippage of vertebra was 4.1 ± 6.6%. The correction rate of lateral interbody fusion was 47.7 ± 25.1%, and that of percutaneous pedicle screw was 33.8 ± 2.6%. The total correction rate was 81.5 ± 27.7%. There was no significant loss of correction one year after surgery. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association Score significantly improved from 14.7 ± 4.2 to 27.7 ± 1.7 points at final follow up. No vascular or organ injury was observed during surgery, and there were no postoperative surgical site infections or systemic complications. Conclusion: Compared with previous reports, the final correction rate and the correction rate of the percutaneous pedicle screw procedure were particularly high in this study. Lateral interbody fusion and percutaneous pedicle screw using reduction technique provide excellent clinical and radiographic outcomes for patients with lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis.
