ABSTRACT Kyphoplasty (KP) and vertebroplasty (VP) are both widely adopted treatments for patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), however, which of these techniques is more effective has not yet been established. We performed a systematic review of articles, followed by meta-analysis, in an attempt to establish the differences between KP and VP. Initially, 187 articles were obtained, 20 of which were systematically reviewed and submitted to meta-analysis. Thus, 2,226 patients comprised the universe of the present article, 1202 of whom underwent KP and 1024 of whom underwent VP. The statistically significant results observed included lower mean bone cement leakage (ml) in the group submitted to kyphoplasty, with OR: 1.50 [CI95%: 1.16 - 1.95], p <0.05; shorter mean surgical time (minutes), 0.45 [CI90% 0.08 - 0.82], p <0.1, for the group submitted to VP as compared to the KP group; and a lower mean postoperative Oswestry Disability Index score in the KP group, OR: −0.14 [CI95%: −0.28 - 0.01], p <0.05. KP was more effective in improving physical function and had a lower frequency of cement leakage when compared to VP, although it requires longer surgical time. Level of evidence III; Systematic review of level III studies.
后凸成形术(KP)和椎体成形术(VP)都是骨质疏松性椎体骨折(OVF)患者广泛采用的治疗方法,然而,哪一种技术更有效尚未确定。我们对文章进行了系统回顾,随后进行了荟萃分析,试图确定KP和VP之间的差异。最初,获得187篇文章,其中20篇被系统回顾并提交meta分析。因此,本文纳入了2226例患者,其中1202例接受了KP, 1024例接受了VP。后凸成形术组平均骨水泥漏量(ml)较前凸成形术组低,OR: 1.50 [ci95: 1.16 ~ 1.95], p <0.05;与KP组相比,VP组的平均手术时间(分钟)较短,为0.45 [CI90% 0.08 - 0.82], p <0.1;KP组术后Oswestry残疾指数平均评分较低,OR:−0.14 [CI95%:−0.28 - 0.01],p <0.05。与VP相比,KP在改善身体功能方面更有效,水泥漏的频率更低,尽管需要更长的手术时间。证据等级III;III级研究的系统评价。

ABSTRACT Objective: Rate and compare radiographic measurements of thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis using anatomical and dynamic parameters. Methods: Measurements were performed on lateral radiographs of 10 adults of both sexes without spinal disease or deformity. Thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis were measured using anatomical parameters (T1-T12, T4-T12, T5-T12 and L1-S1) or dynamic parameters (cervicothoracic or thoracolumbar inflection point). Results: Thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis were different in 30% of subjects. Differences in thoracic kyphosis values were observed according to the anatomical reference used for measurement. Lumbar lordosis wasn`t statistical difference considering the anatomical or dynamic reference, but in 30% of the individuals the inflection point was different from the anatomical reference. Conclusions: Thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis values differ according to anatomical and dynamic references. The reference used must be considered in the measurement and interpretation of values. Level of evidence IV; Case series.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare the surgical treatment of neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) with and without intraoperative skull-skeletal traction (ISST) in terms of the degree of curve correction, surgical time, hospitalization time, screw density, use of blood products,and complications. Methods: A comparative retrospective study, in which we analyzed the medical records and radiographs of 17 patients who underwent surgical treatment for neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). They were divided into two groups, with 9 and 8 patients operated with and without ISST, respectively, at a referral hospital specialized in the treatment of spinal deformitiesfrom 2019 to 2021. The categorical variables were analyzed using the Chi-squared test. Results: Among the 17 patients included in the study, there was a higher prevalence of women in the group without ISST (6 and 2) and of men in group with ISST (5 and 3). The ages of the patients in the two groups ranged from 8-19 years and from 11-29 years, respectively. The screw density used in the traction group averaged 66.33%±8.49 and 82.63%±17.25 in the non-traction group, a statistically significant differencewith a P-value of 0.036. The average percent correction was 76.81%±15.61 in the traction group as compared to an average of 66.39%±12.99 in the non-traction group. In addition, there were complications in 1 patient in each of the groups. Conclusions: Surgical treatment for NMS with ISST allows surgery using fewer blood products to maintain the same hematimetric level in the postoperative period. ISST also allows the use of a lower screw density to correct more severe deformities. Level of evidence III; Comparative retrospective study.

ABSTRACT Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the safety of using the cortical path screw with transfixation of the second cortical bone in relation to the vascular structures. Methods: This retrospective observational study (level of evidence: III, study of non-consecutive patients) analyzed data from the medical records of patients who underwent computed angiotomography scans of the abdomen at Hospital Mater Dei, measuring, in millimeters, the distance between the point of the lumbar vertebra considered the anatomical reference for the transfixation of the second cortical bone and the vascular structures adjacent to the spine (abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava, iliac vessels, segmental lumbar arteries). Results: Forty-eight patients were evaluated, with a mean age of 60 years (±8 years, 41-75), of whom 52% were male and 48% female. The measurements obtained between the pre-vertebral vessels and the possible screw exit points did not demonstrate contact in any of the vertebrae studied. Conclusions: The measurements obtained suggest the safety of using the cortical path screw transfixing the second cortical bone. Knowing the position of the vessels is essential to reduce intra- and postoperative complications related to spinal instrumentation. Level of evidence III; Study of non-consecutive patients.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Percutaneous cement discoplasty (PCD) is a minimally invasive surgical technique, which provides segmental stabilization and an indirect decompression effect in cases of severe degenerative disc disease with vacuum phenomenon, useful in patients with comorbidities that contraindicate invasive surgical procedures. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of 6 patients undergoing PCD was carried out, reporting the demographic variables, the segments treated and the clinical result evaluated by means of the visual analog pain scale (VAS) both in the presurgical and in the 6-month follow-up. Finally, a literature review was carried out. Results: 6 cases of PCD were included, of which 5 had a diagnosis of dyscarthrosis and 1 dyscarthrosis with spondylolisthesis. 4 female and 2 male patients. In 3 patients, PCD was performed in 1 segment and in 3 patients in multiple segments. Regarding the clinical result, an improvement was presented in 5 of the patients (mean 5.6 VAS points), 1 of the patients did not present improvement and required another surgical intervention. Conclusions: PCD is a minimally invasive technique useful in the treatment of spine pain secondary to degenerative disc disease in those patients with comorbidities that contraindicate a major procedure. Indirect foraminal decompression by PCD in one or more segments appears to contribute to pain relief. Level of Evidence III. Series of cases and controls.

ABSTRACT Background: Pyogenic Spinal Epidural Abscess (PSEA) is difficult to diagnose and can have devastating consequences. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has high sensitivity and specificity, which are further increased with the use of contrast. There are several classifications of vertebral infectious processes, with emphasis on spondylodiscitis. Objective: To analyze the morphological parameters and their reproducibility; and to analyze different resonance imaging sequences. Methods: Using an image database, a morphological classification of PSEA was planned, with five parameters: Region (R), indicating the upper and lower limits of the abscess; Location (U), indicating whether the abscess is anterior or posterior within the canal; Compromise (C), meningeal or content of the structures; Association (A), discitis, osteomyelitis or both; and Perivertebral (P), anterior, lateral or posterior extravertebral abscess. The first three parameters give an idea of the volume of the PSEA, while the last two give the related infectious foci. Thirty-five cases were analyzed using Kappa’s coefficient. Results: The global intra- and interobserver reproducibility was Kappa 0.81. The results for each parameter were as follows: R=0.95, U=0.92, C=0.66, A=0.70 and P=0.80. The first three give a notion of volume and the last two relate to the presence of vertebral infectious foci outside the canal. T2 weighted MRI with contrast was found to be the most effective imaging sequence. Conclusion: The morphological classification is simple to use, with excellent reproducibility. The parameters with the highest reproducibility were region and location, with values >0.92. The addition of gadolinium contrast increased the sensitivity of the diagnosis; the use of sagittal and axial images in T2-MRI was the most sensitive imaging sequence. Evidence Level III; Original.

ABSTRACT Low back pain has a prevalence that reaches up to 70% of the population between 35-55 years of age and is the principal cause of occupational disability. The scientific evidence on the effect of manual therapy on low back pain is conflicting and there are no specific reviews on the Maitland concept of manual therapy. Therefore, the objective of this systematic review is to analyze the effect of the techniques of the Maitland concept of manual therapy in patients with low back pain and/or determine the level of scientific evidence.For this, a search was carried out in the Cinahl, Medline, Web of Science, PubMed and Scopus databases during the months of January and February 2021 and it was updated in August 2021. In the search, 894 records were obtained, of which 15 randomized clinical trials that obtained a minimum of 3 points out of 5 on the Jadad scale were included.The main results in the current scientific literature suggest that there is solid evidence that the manipulations and mobilizations described in the Maitland Concept, applied alone or in combination with other interventions, reduce pain and disability in subjects with low back pain.The effects on musculature are contradictory. Exercise and patient education increase the effect of manual therapy. Future research requires analyzing whether the effects are preserved in the long term and more homogeneous treatment protocols are needed to determine a prescriptive guideline for manual therapy. Level of evidence I; Systematic review.
腰痛在35-55岁人群中患病率高达70%,是导致职业残疾的主要原因。关于手工疗法对腰痛的影响的科学证据是相互矛盾的,并且没有关于手工疗法的梅特兰概念的具体评论。因此,本系统综述的目的是分析Maitland概念的手法治疗技术对腰痛患者的影响和/或确定科学证据的水平。为此,我们于2021年1月和2月在Cinahl、Medline、Web of Science、PubMed和Scopus数据库中进行了检索,并于2021年8月进行了更新。在检索中,获得了894份记录,其中包括15项随机临床试验,在Jadad量表上获得至少3分(满分5分)。当前科学文献的主要结果表明,有确凿的证据表明,Maitland概念中描述的手法和动员,单独应用或与其他干预措施相结合,可以减轻腰痛患者的疼痛和残疾。对肌肉组织的影响是相互矛盾的。运动和患者教育可提高手工治疗的效果。未来的研究需要分析效果是否能长期保持,需要更均匀的治疗方案来确定手工治疗的指导性指南。证据等级I;系统的回顾。

ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of this study is to describe a new, extremely simple method for measuring pelvic incidence (PI) using computed tomography (CT) and to compare those measurements with measurements derived from whole spine and lumbosacral X-rays in a Brazilian population. Methods: Patients who had whole spine and lumbosacral X-rays and whole abdomen, pelvis, or lumbar spine CT performed within a period of less than three months were selected. Image overlay was used to measure PI from the CT. The PI was calculated by two independent examiners, and the PI for each exam was calculated twice, with an interval of two months between the assessments. The intra- and interexaminer reliability and reproducibility were evaluatedusing the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the repeatability coefficient, considering a 95% confidence interval. Results: Fifty-five patients of both sexes with a mean age of 58.7 years (±19) were analyzed. The mean PI angles in the analyses of both examiners at both evaluations were 54.85° (±13.73) for the whole spine X-ray, 54.06° (±11.67) for the lumbosacral spine X-ray, and 49.96° (±9.85) for the CT. There was good intra- and interexaminer reliability and reproducibility. There was also high concordancewith the whole spine and lumbosacral X-rays. Conclusion: CT is a reliable and reproducible alternative for measuring PI. Level of Evidence III; Prospective comparative.

ABSTRACT Objective: In traumatic injuries of the thoracic spine, three variables are analyzed to make decisions: morphology of the injury, posterior ligamentous complex and neurological status; currently the fourth column is not evaluated; our objective was to determine the biomechanical behavior of the spine with a fracture of the fifth thoracic vertebral body when accompanied by a short oblique fracture of the sternum. Methods: An anonymous model of a healthy 25-year-old male was used, from which the thoracic spine and rib cage were obtained; in addition to the ligaments of the posterior complex and the intervertebral discs, four models were simulated. An axial section was made, a load of 400 N was applied, and the biomechanical behavior of each model was determined. Results: The area that suffered the most stress at the vertebral level was the posterior column of T4-T5 (tensile strength of 747 MPa), which exceeded the plastic limit, the load through the ribs was distributed from the first to the sixth (100 MPa), in the sternum the stress increased (200 MPa), the deformity increased to 45 mm. Conclusions: The sternum was a fundamental part of the spine’s stability; the combined injury severely increased the stress (8 MPa to 747 MPa) in the spine and exceeded the plastic limit, which generated an instability that is represented by the global deformity acquired (1 mm to 45 mm). Level of evidence II; Prospective comparative study.

ABSTRACT Percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy causes less damage to the paravertebral musculature, with preservation of bone structure and rapid recovery. This innovation allows the surgery to be performed on an outpatient basis, due to the faster recovery time. The anesthesia traditionally performed was general anesthesia, and then conscious sedation. The prone position has always been a major challenge for anesthesiologists. In order to avoid any type of respiratory depression, and based on our own experience with obstetric analgesia, we propose to perform an analgesic spinal anesthesia, a technique not yet found for this type of surgery in the world literature. Level of evidence I; Quality of Evidence A
