Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cervical stiffness, coronal imbalance and limited hip movement all play crucial roles in designing the corrective surgery for ankylosing spondylitis-related thoracolumbar kyphosis (AS-TLK). However, a comprehensive classification and tailored strategies for directing clinical work are lacking. This study aims to investigate the types and surgical strategies for AS-TLK that consider cervical stiffness, coronal imbalance and hip involvement as the key factors.
Methods
25 consecutive AS-TLK patients were divided into three types according to their accompanying features: Type I: with a flexible cervical spine; Type IIA: with a stiff cervical spine; Type IIB: with coronal imbalance; Type IIC: with limited hip movement. Type III is the mixed type with at least two conditions of Type II. Individual strategies were given correspondingly. Spinal-pelvic-femoral parameters were measured, Scoliosis Research Society outcome instrument-22 (SRS-22) was used and complications were recorded and analysed.
Results
All patients (Type I 10, Type II 8 and Type III 7) underwent surgery successfully. 13 cases with 16 complications were recorded and cured. The patients were followed up for 24–65 months with an average of 33.0 ± 9.6 months. Both the sagittal and coronal parameters were corrected and decreased significantly (all, p < 0.05). SRS-22 scores showed a satisfactory outcome.
Conclusion
Thoracolumbar kyphosis secondary to ankylosing spondylitis are complex and variable. Considering the factors of cervical stiffness, coronal imbalance and hip involvement assists in making decisions individually and achieving a desired surgical result.
