Abstrakt: Background: Osteotomies allow the restoration of appropriate sagittal alignment; however, closure of osteotomies can be challenging. Typical closure involves compressing pedicle screw heads across the rods, potentially causing screw loosening and failure. Motorized hinged operating tables are often used to assist with controlled closure of osteotomies without manual compression, but there is no published research quantifying the amount of correction provided solely by changes in the table angle.
Question/purpose: What is the incremental amount of correction achieved by change in the table angle versus instrumented manipulation during osteotomy closure in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) with Smith-Petersen osteotomy?
Methods: Sixty-one patients undergoing Smith-Peterson osteotomy and bilateral TLIF using a motorized hinged table from October 2019 to March 2022 were prospectively enrolled. Two patients did not undergo surgery, two did not have table extension, and seven did not have data collected intraoperatively because of disruptions in research protocols owing to the coronavirus-19 pandemic. Fifty patients (24 male, 26 female) who underwent a total of 73 osteotomies were included in the final analysis. The mean ± standard deviation age was 61 ±11 years, and the mean BMI was 31 ± 6 kg/m 2 . Patients were positioned prone on the table and flexed to 10° for decompression, Smith-Petersen osteotomy, and TLIF. The table was then extended in 5° increments, and radiographs were taken until 10° of extension was achieved or the osteotomy was fully closed. Changes in segmental lordosis across the operative site for each 5° increment were measured to the nearest degree by two reviewers. Intraclass correlation coefficients for segmental lordosis measurements at each table angle change were calculated as 0.97 to 0.98, with all p values < 0.001, indicating excellent agreement.
Results: Table change from 10° to 5° yielded a mean segmental lordosis change of 1.9° ± 1.5° (73 osteotomies), 5° to 0° yielded a change of 1.3° ± 0.9° (73 osteotomies), 0° to -5° yielded a change of 1.3° ± 1.0° (69 osteotomies), and -5° to -10° yielded a change of 1.1° ± 1.3° (61 osteotomies). Rod placement and compression yielded a mean 1.8° ± 2.0° of additional segmental lordosis.
Conclusion: Using a motorized hinged table facilitated an average of 5.6° of total segmental lordosis correction during controlled Smith-Peterson osteotomy closure without the need for cantilevering forces across spinal instrumentation. Surgeons can use this technique to reduce the compression forces needed to close osteotomies, which could eliminate a potential source of complications.Level of Evidence Level II, therapeutic study.
