Thoracic Kyphosis Reduction as the Important Compensatory Mechanism in Low-Grade Spondylolisthesis: A Correlation Analysis of Spinopelvic Parameters
Background
When spondylolisthesis occurs, several compensatory mechanisms are induced not only within the spine itself but also in the pelvis. We investigated the process of spine shift from a decompensated state to compensated malalignment. This study aimed to evaluate the sagittal plane malalignment and explore the major compensatory mechanism for maintaining sagittal balance in low-grade spondylolisthesis.
Methods
This was a retrospective study of 60 patients with low-grade spondylolisthesis and 30 volunteers without radiographical abnormalities of the spine and pelvis conducted between June 2016 and June 2017. Based on the Meyerding classification, 90 participants were divided into 3 groups: group A (n = 30), normal volunteers; group B (n = 30), patients with Meyerding grade I spondylolisthesis; and group C (n = 30), patients with Meyerding grade II spondylolisthesis. Correlation and partial correlation analyses between the slipping grade and spino-pelvic parameters were performed. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to compare the effects of thoracic kyphosis (TK) and pelvic incidence (PI) in individuals with normal conditions as well as those with Meyerding grades I and II spondylolisthesis.
Results
A significant correlation was found between the grade of slipping and max thoracic kyphosis (maxTK) (r = −0.344, P = 0.002), PI (r = 0.601, P < 0.001), sacrum slope (SS) (r = 0.354, P = 0.001), and pelvic tilt (PT) (r = 0.431, P < 0.001), whereas no significant correlations were observed between the grade of slipping and age, bone mass index, sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and max lumbar lordosis. In partial correction, no significant correlations were observed in the grade of slipping and PT (r = 0.002, P = 0.988) and SS (r = −0.002, P = 0.988). A one-way ANOVA was conducted to compare TK and PI between the groups, and indicated there were significant effect at the P < 0.05 level for the 3 conditions (P = 0.007, P < 0.001).
Conclusions
Greater PI may lead to the development and progression of spondylolisthesis. In patients with low-grade spondylolisthesis, decreased TK acts as an important compensatory way to maintain sagittal balance, relative to the normal population.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
