Estimation of the Ideal Correction of Lumbar Lordosis to Prevent Reoperation for Symptomatic Adjacent Segment Disease After Lumbar Fusion in Older People

Abstract: Abstract Background Symptomatic adjacent segment disease (ASDis) is a major complication following spinal fusion. Sagittal spinopelvic imbalance may contribute to the development of ASDis. However, the exact ideal correction of LL is unknown for different ages of people to prevent ASDis. The purpose of this study was to estimate the ideal correction of lumbar lordosis (LL) required to prevent symptomatic ASDis requiring revision surgery in patient… Show more

“…This is contrary to some reports in the literature that suggest patients with lumbar ASD are more likely to experience overcorrection or undercorrection of lumbar lordosis. 13,14 Additionally, long-segment constructs, which typically increase lever-arm and biomechanical stress at adjacent levels compared with shorter constructs, were not associated with increased rates of ASD. Even long constructs consisting of more than 4 levels had very low risk of ASD, which refutes previous claims to the contrary.…”
