Résumé

Here, we evaluated the failure to preserve or restore adequate spinopelvic alignment following lumbosacral instrumented fusions for degenerative disease. Patients undergoing lumbosacral instrumented fusions for degenerative spine disease underwent; standing lumbopelvic X-rays and lumbar MRI scans obtained both preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Parameters measured included lumbar lordosis (LL), L4-S1 angle, pelvic incidence (PI), and LL-PI mismatch. Fifty patients were followed for 1 year following lumbopelvic fusion. There was a statistically significant difference in the L4-S1 angle between patients with good versus poor clinical outcomes at 1 year postoperative; the LL-PI mismatch showed a strong positive correlation with better outcome scores. Preservation of an adequate LL/other lumbosacral parameters favorably impacts patients' outcomes following lumbosacral fusion for degenerative disease.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Here, we evaluated the failure to preserve or restore adequate spinopelvic alignment following lumbosacral instrumented fusions for degenerative disease.
METHODS METHODS
Patients undergoing lumbosacral instrumented fusions for degenerative spine disease underwent; standing lumbopelvic X-rays and lumbar MRI scans obtained both preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. Parameters measured included lumbar lordosis (LL), L4-S1 angle, pelvic incidence (PI), and LL-PI mismatch.
RESULTS RESULTS
Fifty patients were followed for 1 year following lumbopelvic fusion. There was a statistically significant difference in the L4-S1 angle between patients with good versus poor clinical outcomes at 1 year postoperative; the LL-PI mismatch showed a strong positive correlation with better outcome scores.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Preservation of an adequate LL/other lumbosacral parameters favorably impacts patients' outcomes following lumbosacral fusion for degenerative disease.
