ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate the frequency of recurrent lumbar disk herniation (rLDH) and evaluated risk factors of rLDH in Russian population. Methods: this was a retrospective clinical study. From January 2015 to March 2022, 218 patients having single-level LDH at three institutes were included in this clinical study and who were then observed for a minimum of 5 years postoperatively. All the patients or relatives gave informed consent to participate in this study. The levels of disk herniation were L4-L5 in 132 cases (60.5 %), and L5-S1 in 86 cases (39.4 %). Results: The rLDH group was composed of 31 male and 12 female, whose ages ranged from 18 to 57 years (34.8±9.5 years). The non-rLDH group was composed of 97 male and 78 female, whose ages ranged from 19 to 73 years (47.5±9.8 years). According to the constructed binary logistic model, body mass index (p=0.021), current smoking (p=0.017), stage of disk degeneration (p=0.043), facet tropism (p=0.037), disk height index (p=0.018) and apparent diffusion coefficient (p=0.009) are significantly associated with incidence of rLDH. Conclusions: patients with these risk factors should be paid more attention for prevention of rLDH. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective Study.

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the surgical indications, epidemiological data, radiographic outcomes, and postoperative complications of 16 cases of aged complex sacral fractures treated using bilateral spinopelvic fixation (PEF) or triangular osteosynthesis (OT) techniques in a case referral service. Traumatology and orthopedics complexes. Methods: A longitudinal study based on a retrospective review of patients’ medical records with complex sacral fractures admitted between 2014 and 2020. All patients over 18 years of age whose time of evolution between the trauma and the surgical procedure was greater than or equal to three weeks were included. Results: The mean age was 39.8 years (18 to 71). Anterior pelvic ring injuries represented the most common association, present in 12 (75%) cases. In 8 (50%) cases, there was no neurological injury, 1 (6.2%) individual evolved with paresthesia, 2 (12.5%) with paresis in the lower limbs, and 5 (31.3%) with sphincter dysfunctions. Among the patients with neurological impairment, 4 (50%) evolved with complete improvement, 2 (25%) showed partial improvement, and 2 (25%) cases remained with the deficit. The mean surgical time was 3.6 hours for OT and 4.9 hours for FEP. Postoperative complications occurred in 4 (44.4%) patients who underwent PEF, and there were no postoperative complications in the OT group. Conclusions: The surgical management of these lesions using OT and FEP proved safe and effective. The minimum follow-up was 12 months, and all the individuals analyzed showed good evolution. Level of evidence IV; case series.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Vertebral fracture is the main complication of osteoporosis and is common among the elderly. Conservative treatment is the first choice for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) but for persistent painful cases, percutaneous vertebral cement augmentation techniques, such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, are indicated. We performed a systematic review to compare clinical and radiological outcomes of both methods. Methods: A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA and Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. The PICO search strategy consisted of the following terms: Population- Patients with OVCFs; Intervention- Kyphoplasty; Control- Vertebroplasty; Outcomes- Pain, Cement Leakage, Vertebral Body Height, Adjacent level fractures, Oswestry (ODI) and SF36. Results: Seven articles were included in the qualitative analysis, selecting only randomized controlled trials. Four hundred and fifty patients were treated with vertebroplasty (VP) and 469 with kyphoplasty (KP). The leakage rate of the VP group was 63% versus 14% for the KP group. However, these results were without statistical significance. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), ODI and SF-36 outcomes were evaluated based on the 6-month and 1-year follow-up results, and we were unable to find any significant differences between treatments. For restoration of vertebral height, the values of the KP group were, on average, 0.71 cm higher than those of the VP group, with 95% CI. Conclusion: Based on this systematic review, kyphoplasty is superior to vertebroplasty for achieving gains in vertebral body height. As regards cement leakage and other clinical outcomes, neither method showed statistically significant superiority. Level of Evidence I; Systematic review.
摘要:椎体骨折是骨质疏松症的主要并发症，在老年人中较为常见。保守治疗是骨质疏松性椎体压缩性骨折(OVCF)的首选，但对于持续疼痛的病例，需要经皮椎体骨水泥增强技术，如椎体成形术和后凸成形术。我们进行了一项系统的综述，比较两种方法的临床和影像学结果。方法:根据PRISMA和Cochrane干预措施系统评价手册进行系统评价。PICO搜索策略包括以下术语:人群- OVCFs患者;干预——Kyphoplasty;控制——Vertebroplasty;结果:疼痛、骨水泥渗漏、椎体高度、邻近节段骨折、Oswestry (ODI)和SF36。结果:定性分析纳入7篇文献，仅选取随机对照试验。450例患者采用椎体成形术(VP)， 469例采用后凸成形术(KP)。VP组的渗漏率为63%，KP组为14%。然而，这些结果没有统计学意义。视觉模拟评分(VAS)、ODI和SF-36根据6个月和1年的随访结果进行评估，我们没有发现治疗之间有任何显著差异。对于椎体高度的恢复，KP组的值平均比VP组高0.71 cm, CI为95%。结论:基于这一系统综述，后凸成形术在提高椎体高度方面优于椎体成形术。至于骨水泥渗漏及其他临床结果，两种方法均无统计学上的显著优势。证据等级I;系统的回顾。

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the immediate effect of amplitude modulation frequencies (AMFs) of 4kHz interferential current (IFC) on chronic low back pain (CLBP). Method: This is a randomized controlled clinical trial. Sixty-three subjects with CLBP were recruited. The subjects were randomized into 3 groups: the placebo group (PG, n=21) and 2 intervention groups (IG), IG4kHz/2Hz (n=21) and IG4kHz/100Hz (n=21). All groups were submitted to a single session of 30 minutes. Pain was evaluated using a numerical rating scale (NRS), the McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), and pressure algometry. Flexibility was evaluated using the Modified Schober Test (MST), the Sit-and-Reach Test (SRT), the Fingertip-to-Floor Test (FTF), and the Passive Straight-Leg Raise Test (PSLR). Results: Comparing IG4kHz/100Hz with PG, we found a significant difference (p<0.05) in NRS in the total and in the MPQ categories, whereas in the comparison between IG4kHz/2Hz and PG, we found a significant difference only in the sensory and evaluative categories of MPQ. Regarding the flexibility tests, we observed a significant difference of both IG4kHz/100Hz and IG4kHz/2Hz in comparison to PG in MST and PSLR, and of IG4kHz/2Hz in comparison to PG in SRT. The 4kHz IFC was effective in immediately reducing CLBP and, consequently, in increasing the flexibility of the lumbar spine and lower limbs. Conclusion: Conclusion: There was a greater number of significant positive outcomes when the 100Hz AMF was adopted. Level of Evidence I; High quality randomized clinical trial with or without statistically significant differences, but with narrow confidence intervals.

ABSTRACT Objective: Reveal frontal and sagittal patterns of spinal deformity depending on neuromuscular nosology for surgery and outcome planning. The characteristics of spinal deformity vary according to the pathology. In cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophies, and spinal muscular atrophy, specific features of deformities are poorly written, especially in the sagittal profile. Methods: The evaluation criteria were age, gender of the patients, the volume of blood loss, duration of hospitalization, measurement of the deformity curve, thoracic and lumbar kyphosis (Cobb angle), pelvic obliquity concerning the horizontal line, the percentage of curve correction. Cobb angle was measured preoperatively before hospital discharge (up to 21 days postoperatively) and one year after surgery. Results: The cohort of 71 patients with spinal deformities due to neuromuscular diseases included four groups: muscular dystrophy (MD), spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and cerebral palsy (CP). The most characteristic deformity in the frontal plane was C-shaped thoracolumbar scoliosis with rotation of the pelvis; rotation of the vertebrae increased according to the magnitude of scoliosis. Lumbar hyperlordosis was common in patients with PD, whereas decreased thoracic kyphosis or even thoracic lordosis occurs more frequently in patients with DMD. Moderate correction of scoliosis was observed in all groups. There was no significant improvement in functional status, according to the FIM. Conclusion: The findings showed that rigid hyperlordosis is the main problem of spinal deformities in neuromuscular patients. Scoliosis and pelvic obliquity can be well corrected in NMS by pedicle screw construction with standard maneuvers and pelvic screw fixation. Level of Evidence IV; Lesser quality prospective study.

ABSTRACT Objective: To report the results of our patients who underwent scoliosis correction surgery in relation to their quality of life. Introduction: Juvenile idiopathic scoliosis affects between 1 and 3% of the population during puberty. Treatment will be conservative in most cases. The goal of surgical treatment is to improve coronal and sagittal alignment. The SRS 22 questionnaire is a useful tool for assessing quality of life in these patients. Methods: A retrospective study of 22 patients submitted to corrective surgery for juvenile idiopathic scoliosis between October 2017 and January 2020 was conducted. All of them had curves greater than 45 degrees managed through instrumentation and arthrodesis. Post-surgical quality of life was assessed using the SRS 22 questionnaire. Results: The average age of our patients at the time of the intervention was 15.5 years with a predominance of female patients. The application of the SRS 22 questionnaire generated the following mean scores: pain 4.6, function 4.3, self-image 4.41, mental health 4.89, and satisfaction 5.0. Conclusions: The development of surgical techniques has allowed good results to be achieved in the treatment of scoliosis. The evaluation of our patients using the SRS 22 questionnaire reflects a good quality of life in the 5 parameters evaluated. The main limitations of this study were the small sample size and its retrospective nature. Level of Evidence III; Retrospective, longitudinal, descriptive, observational study.

ABSTRACT Objective: Thoracolumbar spine trauma is a world wide health concern that especially affects males of working age, being associated with an elevated morbidity. AO SPINE Type B fractures are unstable and require surgical stabilization. However, the decision between short or long fixation remains controversial. The objective of this study is to analyze the neurological, orthopedic and functional outcomes in patients with Type B spine fractures who have undergone short and long segment posterior arthrodesis. Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed at the Neurosurgery Department of Hospital Cristo Redentor from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2018. Patients with spine fractures classified as AO SPINE Type B in the thoracic or thoracolumbar segments were eligible for the study. The variables analyzed included demographic data, information about the trauma, neurological status, the treatment performed, and the outcome. Results: A total of 31 patients were included in the study. The majority were Caucasian males with a mean age of 42.6(±15.6), and the main cause of the spine trauma was falling from height (N=18; 56.2%). Fifteen patients (48.3%) had subtype B1 fractures and 16 (51.6%) had subtype B2 fractures. Eleven (35.4%) patients were submitted to short arthrodesis and 20 (64.5%) were submitted to long arthrodesis. There was no statistical difference between groups in terms of neurological, orthopedic and functional outcomes. Conclusions: There is no difference in outcomes between short or long constructs for patients with type B single fracture in the thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbar spine segments. Level of evidence III; Therapeutic Studies – Investigation of treatment results.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate degenerative lumbar stenosis in symptomatic patients submitted to surgeryand the correlation between probable determining factors. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study in which themagnetic resonance images of 73 patients with degenerative stenosis,who underwent surgeries involving 141 levels performed by a single surgeon at the Hospital Ortopédico de Passo Fundo from 2015 to 2018, were evaluated. The patients were stratified by the degree of facet tropism, facet arthrosis, disc degeneration, and operated side, as well as by epidemiological data such as age, sex, etc. Tropism was measured using the Karacan method and evaluated numerically and categorically. Disc degeneration was classified by Pfirrmann and facet arthrosis by Weishaupt. To analyze and obtain the results, the Chi-square test and ANOVA were used with the SPSS statistical program, version 18.0. Results: Statistical significance was found in the relationship between facet tropism and disc degeneration (p=0.026) at the L4-L5 level. No correlation was found between tropism and facet arthrosis (p=0.161) or tropism and the operated side (p=0.573). Conclusion: The degree of tropism directly influences disc degeneration and greater asymmetries are related to more severe degenerations. Although tropism has not shown a statistically significant correlation with the operated side (p=0.573), it is believed that further studies should be carried out on this correlation. Level of evidence II; Retrospective study.

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the interobserver reliability of measurements of psoas morphology and lumbar lordosis in different positions and to standardize the performance of magnetic resonance imaging in the prone and lateral positions. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study carried out with asymptomatic volunteers of both sexes, aged over 18 years, with no known pathological changes in the lumbar region. Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine was performed in the supine, right lateral decubitus and prone positions, obtaining images in T2-weighted sequences in the sagittal and axial planes. The distances were measured from the psoas to the vertebral plateau and from the psoas to the lumbar plexus. The exams were assessed by two independent, blinded orthopedists. Results: There was excellent agreement between the measurements of vertebral size (ICC=0.92), low agreement for plexus distance (ICC=0.63) and high agreement for the anterior margin (ICC=0.84). Conclusion: There was good reproducibility of 2 of the 3 measures proposed, suggesting that the technique in the lateral and prone positions is capable of generating quality images. Level of Evidence 3B; Prospective.
