- Clinical and Radiological Results After Minimally Invasive Transpsoas Lateral Access Surgery for Degenerative Lumbar Stenosis(2020) COUTINHO, Thiago Pereira; CRISTANTE, Alexandre Fogaca; MARCON, Raphael Martus; ROCHA, Ivan Dias da; ONO, Allan Hiroshi; MEYER, Guilherme Pereira Correa; BARROS FILHO, Tarcisio Eloy de PessoaStudy Design: Prospective cohort study. Objective: The lateral transpsoas access is a retroperitoneal approach for the lumbar spine to perform the lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), an intersomatic arthrodesis performed with a cage placed on the lateral borders of the epiphyseal ring. The procedure can be used to provide indirect decompression of the nervous structures through the discectomy and restoration of the disc height. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the indirect decompression following LLIF both with radiological and clinical parameters. Methods: Prospective clinical and radiological study in a single center with 20 patients diagnosed with 1- or 2-level degenerative lumbar stenosis. Radiological analysis on magnetic resonance imaging included foramen height, canal area, canal diameter, and disc height. Clinical outcomes included visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) collected up to 12 months. Complications and reoperations were recorded. Results: In total, 25 levels were treated. No reoperation was required. Disc height was increased by an average of 25% (P < .001). The canal area increased from 109 to 149 mm(2) (P < .001) and from 9.3 to 12.2 mm (P < .001) in anteroposterior diameter. The foramen area demonstrated the effect of indirect decompression on both sides (P < .001). The height of the foramen showed significant average increase of 2.8 mm (P < .001). The results from VAS and ODI questionnaires confirmed the clinical effect of indirect decompression. Conclusion: We observed that indirect decompression by the LLIF method is feasible both radiologically and clinically with a low rate of complications and reoperations.
- Assessment of the Accuracy of the AO Spine-TL Classification for Thoracolumbar Spine Fractures Using the AO Surgery Reference Mobile App(2021) ONO, Allan Hiroshi de Araujo; CHANG, Veronica Yulin Prieto; RODENBECK, Erico Myung; ARAUJO, Alex Oliveira de; OLIVEIRA, Rafael Garcia de; MARCON, Raphael Martus; CRISTANTE, Alexandre Fogaca; BARROS FILHO, Tarcisio Eloy PessoaStudy Design: Cohort study. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the AO Surgery Reference mobile app in the diagnosis of thoracolumbar fractures of the spine according to the AO TL classification, and to discuss the usefulness of this app in the teaching and training of the resident physicians in orthopedics and traumatology area. Methods: The 24 residents of Orthopedic and Traumatology program assessed 20 cases of thoracolumbar fractures selected from the hospital database on 2 different occasions, with a 30-day interval, and they classified these cases with and without using the AO Surgery Reference app. A group of spine experts previously established the gold standard and the answers were statistically compared, with the inter- and intraobserver reliability evaluated by the kappa index. Results: The use of the AO Surgery Reference app increased the classification success rate of the fracture morphology (from 53.4% to 72.5%), of the comorbidity modifier (from 61.4% to 77.9%) and of the neurological status modifier (from 55.1% to 72.9%). In addition, the mobile app raised the classification agreement and accuracy. The kappa index increased from 0.30 to 0.53 regarding the morphological classification of fractures. Conclusions: The residents improved their ability to recognize and classify thoracolumbar spine fractures, which reinforces the importance of this tool in medical education and clinical practice.
- COMPLICATED LUMBAR TUBERCULOUS SPONDYLODISCITIS IN DISSEMINATED TUBERCULOSIS, TREATED USING A NON-CONVENTIONAL ANTERIOR SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR HYDROSTATIC DISTRACTION: A CASE REPORT(2018) ARAUJO, Alex Oliveira de; SOARES, Thiago Queiroz; TORELLI, Alessandro Gonzalez; ONO, Allan Hiroshi de Araujo; MARCON, Raphael Martus; CRISTANTE, Alexandre Fogaca; BARROS FILHO, Tarcisio Eloy Pessoa deObjective: To describe a case of disseminated tuberculosis affecting the lumbar spine that was treated using a non-conventional anterior support system. Background: Tuberculous spondylodiscitis is the most common and most severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Although antibiotic therapy is the most frequently used treatment, surgery is necessary in cases of neurological deficit, spinal instability, significant deformity, severe sepsis, paravertebral and epidural abscesses or in cases wherein clinical treatment has failed. A surgical procedure is also indicated when a biopsy is required. With the development of new methods for reconstruction and fixation of the spine, complete debridement of the tuberculous foci has become an increasingly common approach, but there is a lack consensus on the best technique. Methods and results: The patient suffered from disseminated tuberculosis affecting the lumbar region of the spine, with an abscess in the psoas muscle. He underwent extensive debridement via both anterior and posterior approaches, using a non-conventional anterior support system that promotes hydrostatic distraction. Conclusions: Treatment using the hydrostatic distraction system was able to reestablish both the stability and anatomy of the lumbar curve.
- ROLE OF DIFFERENT HORMONES IN THE PATHOGENESIS AND SEVERITY OF ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS(2017) SILVA, Ricardo Teixeira e; FERNANDES, Renan Jose Rodrigues; ONO, Allan Hiroshi de Araujo; MARCON, Raphael Martus; CRISTANTE, Alexandre Fogaca; BARROS FILHO, Tarcisio Eloy Pessoa deObjective: To evaluate the hormonal profile of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and its relationship to the severity of the curvature and quality of life. Method: Patients with scoliosis (Cobb angle above 10 degrees), of both genders, diagnosed after 10 years of age were included, excluding those who presented other condition that could lead to scoliosis. Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), cortisol and gastrin were correlated with Cobb angle and quality of life, measured by the SRS-30 questionnaire. Results: The levels of 25-OHD decreased in 97% of patients. There was an inverse relationship between gastrin levels and quality of life (p = 0.016). Moreover, there was an inverse correlation between the value of Cobb angle and quality of life (p = 0.036). There were no changes in cortisol levels. There was no correlation between Cobb angle and any of the hormones measured. Conclusion: The patients had levels of 25-OHD diminished, strengthening the hypothesis of its involvement in the development of AIS. This study also suggests that increased gastrin levels may be associated with a worse quality of life in patients with AIS.
- Unplanned Readmission Following Early Postoperative Complications After Fusion Surgery in Adult Spine Deformity: A Multicentric Study(2023) CAMINO-WILLHUBER, Gaston; GUIROY, Alfredo; SERVIDIO, Mariano; ASTUR, Nelson; NIN-VILARO, Fernando; ALVARADO-GOMEZ, Fernando; DAHER, Murilo; SACILOTO, Bruno; ONO, Allan; LETAIF, Olavo; ZARATE-KALFOPULOS, Baron; YURAC, Ratko; VIALLE, Emiliano; VALACCO, MarceloStudy Design: Multicentric retrospective study, Level of evidence III. Objective: The objective of this multicentric study was to analyze the prevalence and risk factors of early postoperative complications in adult spinal deformity patients treated with fusion. Additionally, we studied the impact of complications on unplanned readmission and hospital length of stay. Methods: Eight spine centers from 6 countries in Latin America were involved in this study. Patients with adult spinal deformity treated with fusion surgery from 2017 to 2019 were included. Baseline and surgical characteristics such as age, sex, comorbidities, smoking, number of levels fused, number of surgical approaches were analyzed. Postoperative complications at 30 days were recorded according to Clavien-Dindo and Glassman classifications. Results: 172 patients (120 females/52 males, mean age 59.4 +/- 17.6) were included in our study. 78 patients suffered complications (45%) at 30 days, 43% of these complications were considered major. Unplanned readmission was observed in 35 patients (20,3%). Risk factors for complications were: Smoking, previous comorbidities, number of levels fused, two or more surgical approaches and excessive bleeding. Hospital length of stay in patients without and with complications was of 7.8 +/- 13.7 and 17 +/- 31.1 days, respectively (P 0.0001). Conclusion: The prevalence of early postoperative complications in adult spinal deformity patients treated with fusion was of 45% in our study with 20% of unplanned readmissions at 30 days. Presence of complications significantly increased hospital length of stay.
- SURGICAL CORRECTION OF SEVERE AND FIXED CHIN-ON-CHEST DEFORMITY(2018) MARCON, Raphael Martus; ONO, Allan Hiroshi de Araujo; ZELADA, Flavio Gerardo Benites; CRISTANTE, Alexandre Fogaca; BARROS FILHO, Tarcisio Eloy PessoaObjective: To describe a successful surgical treatment for the challenging severe and fixed chin-on-chest deformity due to isolated neck extensor myopathy (INEM). Background data: INEM is an idiopathic cause of dropped head syndrome (DHS) that results in severe cervicothoracic kyphosis, defined as chin-on-chest deformity. The existing literature on surgical management is limited, with outcomes ranging from poor to excellent. INEM may present to the spinal surgeon for consideration of surgical management. Methods: The authors present a technique that uses a staged posterior and anterior approach combined with osteotomies and corpectomy to correct the severe and fixed deformity. A state of the art anterior and posterior instrumentation system was used. Results: At the three-months follow-up, there was good deformity correction and the patient's satisfaction was high, with no neurological deterioration occurring. Conclusions: The technique illustrated in this study represents a successful option to treat this debilitating deformity. More evidence is needed to set up a definitive algorithm for the management of this condition.
