Abstract

Purpose

A high C7 slope induces C2–C7 lordosis to compensate for cervical sagittal balance adjustments. A muscle-preserving selective laminectomy (SL) can maintain this compensation postoperatively. This study evaluated the effect of an extremely high C7 slope on C2–C7 lordotic compensation following SL.

Methods

This study enrolled 151 cervical compressive myelopathy patients who underwent SL. Lateral cervical spine radiographs were taken before surgery and during final follow-up. Patients were divided into extremely high C7 slope (≥ 30°) (EH) and non-high C7 slope (< 30°) (NH) groups and the influence of a high C7 slope on radiological and surgical outcomes was examined.

Results

Mean age was higher in group EH (p < 0.001). Preoperatively, patients in group EH had a larger C2–C7 sagittal vertical axis (SVA) (p = 0.001) and greater cervical lordosis (p < 0.001). Although C2–C7 SVA increased after surgery, mean C2–C7 angle of group EH decreased. Mismatches between C7 slope and C2–C7 angle increased for group EH postoperatively (p = 0.015). Postoperative Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score and recovery rate (RR) were slightly lower in group EH (p = 0.001 and p = 0.006, respectively). Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that extremely high C7 slope, not age, affected the RR of JOA score (p = 0.006).

Conclusions

Patients in group EH were older and had highly compensated cervical sagittal alignment preoperatively. They demonstrated postoperative cervical sagittal balance mismatch increases and slightly worse functional recovery. An extremely high C7 slope limited compensatory cervical lordosis following SL.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

28.05.2024 Häusliche Gewalt Nachrichten

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.
