Abstract
Objective: Cage migration (CR) after lumbar interbody fusion may result in intractable complications to patients. This meta-analysis was aimed to figure out risk factors of cage migration after posterior approaches for lumbar interbody fusion.
Methods: Literature was searched in the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library between Feb 2013 to Feb 2023. PRISMA guidelines were followed in this review. The keywords used in the search included: cage, retropulsion, migration, lumbar interbody fusion, spinal fusion. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of a potential risk factor was calculated via RevMan5.4.
Results: 8 studies were finally included in this meta-analysis. 10 risk factors were assessed and the outcome showed that Screw loosening (OR 12.98, 95% CI 4.63 to 36.36, P < 0.01), endplate injury (OR 10.14, 95% CI 5.20 to 19.79, P < 0.01) and pear-shaped disc (OR 4.03, 95% CI 1.41 to 11.55, P < 0.01) were associated with cage migration, and poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) cage (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.96, P = 0.04) could reduce risk of cage migration.
Conclusion: Screw loosening, endplate injury and pear-shaped disc increased risk of CM after posterior approaches for lumbar interbody fusion, and PEEK cage probably reduce risk of postoperative cage migration.
期刊介绍:
"European Spine Journal" is a publication founded in response to the increasing trend toward specialization in spinal surgery and spinal pathology in general. The Journal is devoted to all spine related disciplines, including functional and surgical anatomy of the spine, biomechanics and pathophysiology, diagnostic procedures, and neurology, surgery and outcomes. The aim of "European Spine Journal" is to support the further development of highly innovative spine treatments including but not restricted to surgery and to provide an integrated and balanced view of diagnostic, research and treatment procedures as well as outcomes that will enhance effective collaboration among specialists worldwide. The “European Spine Journal” also participates in education by means of videos, interactive meetings and the endorsement of educative efforts.
