Study Design: Retrospective study. Objectives: To analyze the change in acetabular anteversion (AA) after lumbar pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis who have already undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods: AS patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis following lumbar PSO from January 2005 to January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Only the patients performed with THA prior to the PSO were included. AA was measured on the full-length standing posterior-anterior radiographs using the ellipse method. Results: Twenty patients (34 hips) with a mean age of 36.8 years (range, 22 to 63 years) were included. After lumbar PSO, AA was reduced from 18.59° to 5.85° ( P < 0.001). Postoperative change in AA was correlated with the spinal deformity correction. Additionally, the change in AA postoperatively was correlated with pelvic incidence (PI) (R = 0.346, P = 0.045). Although the postoperative change in sagittal vertical axis (SVA) was larger in the patients after L2 or L3 PSO (153.97 mm vs 70.03 mm, P = 0.006), no difference was found in the postoperative change in AA (12.83° vs 10.96°, P = 0.540) compared with the patients following L1 PSO. Conclusions: AA was significantly decreased following lumbar PSO and the postoperative change in AA was correlated with the magnitude of spinal deformity correction. Notably, the effect of osteotomy level on the postoperative change in AA was limited in the AS patients underwent 1-level PSO.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of and the risk factors for surgery-related complications demonstrated on radiography after pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) for thoracolumbar kyphosis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).METHODSThe authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 230 consecutive patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis due to AS who had undergone 1-level PSO at a single institution in the period from 2010 to 2017. The causes of surgery-related complications were divided into two types: surgical/technical failure and mechanical failure.RESULTSThe patients consisted of 20 women and 210 men, with an average age of 43.4 years. The average follow-up period was 39.0 months. The preoperative sagittal vertical axis was 18.5 ± 69.3 cm, which improved to 4.9 ± 4.6 cm after PSO. Of the 77 patients (33.5%) who experienced minor or major surgery-related complications, 56 had complications related to surgical/technical failure (overall incidence 24.3%) and 21 had complications related to mechanical failure (overall incidence 9.1%). Fourteen patients (6.1%) underwent reoperation. However, among the 77 patients with complications, the rate of revision surgery was 18.2%. The most common radiological complications were as follows: sagittal translation in 24 patients, coronal imbalance in 20, under-correction in 8, delayed union in 8, and distal junctional failure and kyphosis in 8. The most common causes of reoperation were coronal imbalance in 4 patients, symptomatic malposition of pedicle screws in 3, and distal junctional failure in 3. Delayed union was statistically correlated with posterior sagittal translation (p = 0.007).CONCLUSIONSPSO can provide acceptable radiographic outcomes for the correction of thoracolumbar kyphosis in patients with AS. However, a high incidence of surgery-related complications related to mechanical failure and surgical technique can develop. Thorough radiographic investigation before and during surgery is needed to determine whether complete ossification occurs along the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments of the spine.

The Relationship

Abstract Background: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with kyphosis have an abnormal spinopelvic alignment and pelvic morphology. Most of them focus on the relationship of pelvic tilt (PT) or sacral slope (SS) and deformity, and relatively few studies have addressed the relationship between pelvic incidence (PI) and kyphosis in AS patients. The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between pelvic incidence (PI) and the spinopelvic parameters describing local deformity or global sagittal balance in AS patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis. Methods: A total of 94 patients with AS (91 males and 3 females) and 30 controls were reviewed. Sagittal spinopelvic parameters, including PI, PT, SS, thoracic kyphosis (TK), thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), lumbar lordosis(LL), sagittal vertical axis(SVA), T1 pelvic angle(TPA), spinosacral angle(SSA) and spinopelvic angle(SPA) were measured. Statistical analysis was performed to identify the correlation of PI with other parameters. Results: Compared with the control group, the AS patients had significantly higher PI(47.4˚ vs. 43.2˚, P<0.001). PI in AS patients was found to be significantly positively correlated with TPA(r=0.533, R 2 =0.284, P<0.001), and negatively correlated with SPA(r=-0.504, R 2 =0.254, P<0.001). However, no correlations were found between PI and SVA, SSA, TK, TLK or LL in AS patients. Conclusion: The value of PI in AS patients with kyphosis was significantly higher than that of controls. Correlation analysis revealed that increasing PI was significantly correlated with more global sagittal imbalance, not with the local deformity in AS patients with thoracolumbar kyphosis.
