  • Current Concepts and Controversies on Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Part II
    Review Article Current concepts and controversies on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: Part II Alok Sud, Athanasios I Tsirikos1 ABSTRACT A new era in the surgical treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) opened with the introduction of pedicle screw instrumentation, which provides 3‑column vertebral fixation and allows major deformity correction on the coronal, sagittal, and axial planes. A steep learning curve can be expected for spinal surgeons to become familiar with pedicle screw placement and correction techniques. Potential complications including injury to adjacent neural, vascular, and visceral structures can occur due to screw misplacement or pull‑out during correction maneuvers. These major complications are better recognized as pedicle screw techniques become more popular and may result in serious morbidity and mortality. Extensive laboratory and clinical training is mandatory before pedicle screw techniques in scoliosis surgery are put to practice. Wider application, especially in developing countries, is limited by the high cost of implants. Refined correction techniques are currently developed and these utilize a lesser number of pedicle anchors which are strategically positioned to allow optimum deformity correction while reducing the neurological risk, surgical time, and blood loss, as well as instrumentation cost. Such techniques can be particularly attractive at a time when cost has major implications on provision of health care as they can make scoliosis treatment available to a wider population of patients. Pedicle screw techniques are currently considered the gold standard for scoliosis correction due to their documented superior biomechanical properties and ability to produce improved clinical outcomes as reflected by health‑related quality‑of‑life questionnaires. Ongoing research promises further advances with the future of AIS treatment incorporating genetic counseling and possibly fusionless techniques.

  • Resectability Issues with Head and Neck Cancer
    REVIEW ARTICLE Resectability Issues with Head and Neck Cancer D.M. Yousem SUMMARY: Head and neck surgeons often rely on imaging to determine if a neoplasm is resectable. K. Gad Many of the critical issues are outlined in the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging Manual, wherein T4a and T4b head and neck cancers are defined as resectable and unresectable, respectively. R.P. Tufano Even within the T4a advanced resectable classification, there are critical determinants that define whether the surgical option is such that major morbidity and mortality could be expected. This review article examines the imaging literature to determine the accuracy and diagnostic criteria of different modalities for evaluating these critical T4a and T4b factors, which include the following: 1) arterial encasement, 2) prevertebral fascia involvement, 3) mediastinal infiltration, 4) tracheal and esophageal extension, 5) laryngeal cartilage penetration, 6) pre-epiglottic fat involvement, 7) dural spread, 8) bone (mandible/maxilla and skull base) infiltration, 9) perineural spread, 10) orbital involvement, and 11) brachial plexus invasion. For the most part, the studies find MR imaging with higher sensitivity but lower specificity than CT. An ever-increasing role for PET/CT is suggested. Imaging is of great value in the determination of resectability issues listed previously for head and neck cancers, with the possible exception of prevertebral fascia involvement. n 2002, the American Joint Commission on Cancer (AJCC) neck cancer resectability, both from the standpoint of long- Irevised the T-staging classifications of head and neck can- term prognosis as well as the morbidity of the patient, must be cers.1 The most advanced staging, the T4 classification, was considered closely.

Methods: Forty-eight patients with TCF were retrospectively examined. Half of these patients were treated with W-VSF, and the remaining half were treated with a traditional paraspinal muscle peeling approach plus injured vertebral screw fixation (PMP-VSF). The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative ambulation time, preoperative and postoperative back pain improvement, and changes in vertebral height were compared between the groups. Results: The operative time, intraoperative blood loss, and postoperative ambulation time exhibited significant (P < 0.05) improvements in the W-VSF group compared to those in the PMP-VSF group. There was no significant difference in preoperative visual analog scale (VAS) scores between the groups (P > 0.05); however, VAS scores on postoperative days 1 and 3 and weeks 1 and 2 were significantly lower in the W-VSF group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in VAS scores at month 6 (P > 0.05). Vertebral height restoration rates between the groups showed no significant difference (P > 0.05).

METHODS This was a prospective, single-center study. Twenty patients each in the expandable and cement-augment- ed screw groups were recruited. Clinical outcomes included visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and satisfaction rates. Radiographic outcomes comprised radiological measurements on the vertebral motion segment of the treated levels. Intraoperative data including complications were collected. All patients completed the clinical and radiological outcomes. Outcomes were compared preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS An average shorter operative time was found in procedures in which expandable screws were used versus those in which cement-augmented screws were used (p < 0.001). No differences resulted in perioperative blood loss be- tween the 2 groups. VAS and ODI scores were significantly improved in both groups after surgery. There was no signifi- cant difference between the 2 groups with respect to baseline VAS or ODI scores.

  • Asymmetric Posterior Thoracolumbar Fixation Following a Posterolateral Transpedicular Approach for Unilateral Vertebral Disease
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE doi: 10.2176/nmc.oa.2014-0085 Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo) 55, 564–569, 2015 Online March 23, 2015 Asymmetric Posterior Thoracolumbar Fixation following a Posterolateral Transpedicular Approach for Unilateral Vertebral Disease Murat YILMAZ,1 Ahmet KARAKASLI,2 Orhan KALEMCI,1 Ceren KIZMAZOGLU,1 Zafer K. YUKSEL,3 Nuri M. ARDA,1 and Kemal YUCESOY1 Departments of 1Neurosurgery and 2Orthopedics, Dokuz Eylül University, Izmir, Turkey; 3Department of Neurosurgery, Sütçü imam University, Izmir, Turkey Abstract The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent asymmetrical pos- terior screw fixation for the treatment of unilateral posterior vertebral pathological entities. The study included 21 patients with a spinal tumor who underwent asymmetrical posterior spinal fusion surgery between April 2009 and March 2012. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor score visual analog scale (VAS) score were used as the outcome measure at admission and follow-up. Among the 21 patients, 12 were male and 9 were female, and mean age was 50.71 (range, 24–78) years. Mean follow-up was 16.04 (range, 4–47) months. Postoperatively, neurological findings did not deteriorate in any of the patients. Among the ASIA grade C and D patients, eight (38%) of them exhibited clinical stability or recovery to ASIA E, whereas none of the ASIA B patients scores changed postoperatively. Perioperative complications were noted in six patients (28%). Spinal stability and fusion were achieved in 18 (85%) patients. The surgical asymmetrical fixation technique described reduced the duration of surgery, and the patients required less dissection of paraspinal muscles than bilateral symmetrical fixation.

  • Lumbar Pedicle Screw Fixation with Cortical Bone Trajectory: a Review from Anatomical and Biomechanical Standpoints
    REVIEW ARTICLE SPINE SURGERY AND RELATED RESEARCH Lumbar pedicle screw fixation with cortical bone trajectory: A review from anatomical and biomechanical standpoints Keitaro Matsukawa1) and Yoshiyuki Yato2) 1) Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Self Defense Force Central Hospital, Tokyo, Japan 2) Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National Hospital Organization, Murayama Medical Center, Musashimurayama, Tokyo, Japan Abstract: Over the past few decades, many attempts to enhance the integrity of the bone-screw interface have been made to prevent pedicle screw failure and to achieve a better clinical outcome when treating a variety of spinal disorders. Cortical bone tra- jectory (CBT) has been developed as an alternative to the traditional lumbar pedicle screw trajectory. Contrary to the tradi- tional trajectory, which follows the anatomical axis of the pedicle from a lateral starting point, CBT starts at the lateral part of the pars interarticularis and follows a mediolateral and caudocranial screw path through the pedicle. By markedly altering the screw path, CBT has the advantage of achieving a higher level of thread contact with the cortical bone from the dorsal entry point to the vertebral body. Biomechanical studies demonstrated the superior anchoring ability of CBT over the tradi- tional trajectory, even with a shorter and smaller CBT screw. Furthermore, screw insertion from a more medial and caudal starting point requires less exposure and minimizes the procedure-related morbidity, such as reducing damage to the paraspi- nal muscles, avoiding iatrogenic injury to the cranial facet joint, and maintaining neurovascular supply to the fused segment. Thus, the features of CBT, which enhance screw fixation with limited surgical exposure, have attracted the interest of sur- geons as a new minimally invasive method for spinal fusion.
