  • Purpose: In the surgical treatment of pyogenic lumbar spondylodiscitis, screw insertion at the affected vertebra has been avoided because of biofilm formation, and the risk of infection recurrence. The authors analyzed the success rate of infection treatment while minimizing the number of instrumented segments by inserting pedicle screws into the affected vertebrae. Therefore, this study examined the usefulness of this technique. Materials and Methods: From January 2000 to June 2018, among patients with pyogenic lumbar spondylodiscitis treated surgically, group A consisted of patients with pedicle screws inserted directly at the affected vertebrae (28 cases), and group B underwent fusion by inserting screws at the adjacent normal vertebrae due to bone destruction of the affected vertebral pedicle (20 cases). The classified clinical results were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were treated via the posterior-only approach, so the affected disc and sequestrum were removed. Posterior interbody fusion was performed with an autogenous strut bone graft, and the segments were then stabilized with pedicle screw systems. The hospitalization period, operation time, amount of blood loss, EQ-5D index, duration of intravenous antibiotics, and the clinical and radiological results were analyzed. Results: In group A, the number of instrumented segments, operation time, blood loss, and EQ-5D index at one month postoperatively showed significant improvement compared to group B. There were no significant differences in the duration of antibiotic use, hospitalization, radiological bone union time, sagittal angle correction rate, and recurrence rate. Conclusion: Minimal segmental fixation, in which pedicle screws were inserted directly into the affected vertebrae through the posterior approach, reduced the surgery time and blood loss, preserved the lumbar motion by minimizing fixed segments and showed rapid recovery without spreading or recurrence of infection. Therefore, this procedure recommended for the surgical treatment of lumbar pyogenic spondyodiscitis.

  • 신경외과는 뇌수술과 척추수술로 나눈다. 이중뇌수술 분야에서는 두개강내압 항진시 감압술이라고 '머리의 뚜껑을 연다'라는 표현과 마찬가지로 두개골의 일부분(손바닥크기)을 절제하는 수술이 있다. 이때 과거에는 떼어낸 뼈를 복부의 피하지방밑에 심어서 보관을 하다가 3-6개월 후 환자의 뇌상태가 안정이 되면 다시 꺼내어 제자리에 놓았는데, 골편이 피하지방에서 녹는 경우가 다소 있고, 복부에 이식한 장소가염증이 생기는 경우도 있어서 요즘은 냉동고에서 -70도를 유지하여 보관 후 나중이 복원 수술을 할 때녹여서 사용한다. 이를 '자가골 두개성형술' 이라 한다. 하지만골편의 오염이나 소실 혹은 1차 두개성형술 후 감염 등 어쩔 수 없이 자가골을 사용 못하는 경우에는인공으로 두개골편 모형을 제작하여 '뚜껑'으로 사용해야 한다. 현재PMMA를 이용하여 수술 시 모형을 제작하는 방법이 많이 사용되며 최근 단단한 스펀지 형태의 인공제품이 사용되고 있으나 가격이 매우비싸지만 스펀지 기공내로 자가골이 자란다는 장점이 있다. 척추수술 분야에서는 뼈 대치품을 비교적 많이필요로 한다. 즉 척추 후방고정을 하는 경우 원래 수술의 목적인 감압술이나 교정술 등을 한 후 척추분절간 쇠(티타늄사용)고정을 한 뒤에 뼈조직(자가골이나 동종이식골, DBM, HA stick) 등을 충분히 사용하여덮어줌으로써 분절간 골유합을 유도할 때 많은 양이 필요하며, 척추 전방으로 수술을 하는 경우에도 디스크공간이 빈 상태에서 Cage(추체와 추체를 지지하는 작은 상자모양) 내에뼈조직을 넣어서 척추분절간 골유합이 일어나도록 한다. 최근 HA를 cage 대용품으로 사용한 경우에서 HA가 부서지는 경우가 기사화된바 있다. 또한 경추의 추체 내에 작은 구멍만 뚫고 디스크 수술을 한 후에 그 구멍에 HA+B-TCP 소재를 넣어 천연뼈의 성장 유도를 위해 사용되는 등 신경외과의 다양한 분야에서 생체소재들이 사용되고 있다.

  • Purpose: To investigate the radiological efficacy of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) augmentation of pedicle screw operation in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) patients. Materials and Methods: Twenty OVCF patients, who underwent only posterior fusion using pedicle screws with PMMA augmentation, were included in the study. The mean follow-up period was 15.6 months. The demographic data, bone mineral density (BMD), fusion segments, number of pedicle screws, and amount of PMMA were reviewed as medical records. To analyze the radiological outcomes, the radiologic parameters were measured as the time serial follow-up (preoperation, immediately postoperation, postoperation 6 weeks, 3, 6 months, and 1 year follow-up). Results: A total of 20 patients were examined (16 females [80.0%]; mean age, 69.1±8.9 years). The average BMD was -2.5±0.9 g/cm2. The average cement volume per vertebral body was 6.3 ml. The mean preoperative Cobb angle of focal kyphosis was 32.7°±7.0° and was improved significantly to 8.7°±6.9° postoperatively (p<0.001), with maintenance of the correction at the serial follow-up, postoperatively. The Cobb angle of instrumented kyphosis, wedge angle, and sagittal index showed similar patterns. In addition, the anterior part of fractured vertebral body height averaged 11.0±5.0 mm and was improved to 18.5±5.7 mm postoperatively (p=0.006), with maintenance of the improvement at the 3-month, 6-month, and 1-year follow-up. Conclusion: The reinforcement of pedicle screws using PMMA augmentation may be a feasible surgical technique for OVCF. Moreover, it appears to be appropriate for improving the focal thoracolumbar/lumbar kyphosis and is maintained well after surgery.

  • Objectives : The goal of operation for degenerative lumbar diseases is to relieve radiculopathy and low back pain and to prevent further degeneration. The authors analyzed the surgical results of posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF) and $0^{\circ}$ fixation to evaluate the proper treatment policy in spinal stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis and low grade isthmic spondylolisthesis. Material and Methods : The authors performed PLIF on 92 patients and $0^{\circ}$ fixation on 138 patients with spinal stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis and low grade isthmic spondylolisthesis. We retrospectively studied clinical outcomes and subjective satisfaction of these patients by several criteria such as visual analog scale(VAS), Prolo's economic and functional outcome scale, medication usage after operation and questionaire for overall outcome. Result : Pre- and postoperative VAS on back pain and leg pain showed decrease of pain from 6.5, 6.7 to 2.2, 2.4 in PLIF group and from 7.0, 7.2 to 2.5, 2.7 in $0^{\circ}$ fixation group. Excellent and good outcomes on Prolo's scale were 81.5% in PLIF group and 82.6% in $0^{\circ}$ fixation group. Medication usage after operation was reduced in 79.3% of PLIF group and in 78.3% of $0^{\circ}$ fixation group. Patients' self-reported overall success of their procedure showed 82% in PLIF group and 84% in $0^{\circ}$ fixation group. Conclusion : Both PLIF and $0^{\circ}$ fixation showed good outcomes and provided biomechanically stable fusion in spinal stenosis, degenerative spondylolisthesis and low grade isthmic spondylolisthesis. Therefore, only PLIF seems necessary and considered a proper surgical treatment for these disorders.
