Lumbar Spine Fusion
Conditions
Brief summary
To compare postoperative radiographic sagittal parameters after monosegmental lumbar fusion: posterior lumbar interbody fusion versus postrolateral fusion in treatment of lumbar spine instability
Detailed description
The term spondylolisthesis refers to slipping of a vertebra relative to an adjacent vertebra,and there are two mean types degenerative and lytic : Degenerative spondylolisthesis is secondary to osteoarthritis leading to facet incompetence and disc degeneration.This condition allows anterior translation of one vertebra on another. Spondylolysis is the break in the pars interarticularis and is the precursor of lytic spondylolisthesis which associated with a pars fracture When nonoperative care fails and surgery is being considered, the type of fusion should be tailored to the specific pathology being treated.So there are different operations to correct this instability like postrolateral fusion (PLF) and posterior lumber interbody fusion (PLIF) PLF decreases segmental motion in the posterior column, which presumably reduces facet joint pain.Theoretical advantages of PLIF include decompression of exiting nerve roots by distraction of the collapsed disc space, achievement of optimal fusion in relation to the load-bearing capacity of the vertebral bodies and possibly attainment of a better fusion rate
Interventions
PROCEDUREposterolateral fusion
Instrumented posterolateral fusion is a spinal surgery that combines bone graft fusion with the use of hardware like screws and rods to stabilize the spine, correct alignment, and promote successful fusion. It's used for various spinal conditions.
PROCEDUREposterior lumbar interbody fusion
Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is a spinal surgery that involves removing problematic discs, inserting bone graft material, and sometimes a spacer, to promote fusion and stabilize the spine.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Spino sacral angle | 6month post op | Which is the angle fromed between the line from front side of t1 to the middle of sacrum and the line passing through the sacral plateau |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| T1 pelvic angle | Pre op. Post op immediately. 6month post op | The angle between the line from centroid of t1 to the femoral head axis and the line from femoral head axis to middle of the s1 end plate |
| Pelvic incidence | Pre op. Post op immediately. 6month post op | Is the angle between the line perpendicular to the s1 end plate from the midpoint of the end plate and the connecting line from the midpoint of the s1 end plate to center of the femoral head |
| Pelvic tilt | Pre op. Post op immediately. 6month post op | Is the angle between the connecting line from the midpoint of the s1 end plate to the center of the femoral head and the vertical line |
| Sacral slope | Pre op. Post op immediately. 6month post op | Is the angle between the tangent and the horizontal line of s1 end plate |
| Lumbar lordosis | Pre op. Post op immediately. 6month post op | Is the junction of the thoracic kyphosis to the s1 end plate |
