Summary • Single-center, blinded radiographic and patient outcome analysis of multilevel anterior spine fusion rates using bone marrow aspirate and mineralized collagen in anterior interbody fusion cages in adult spinal deformity patients. • Fusion grades based on published Lenke-Bridwell grading scale • 1 – Complete fusion • 2 – Probable fusion with no lucencies • 3 – an intact graft with lucency at the top or bottom of the graft • 4 – nonunion with resorption of the graft
Introduction • Many factors can affect success of spine fusion • Patient co-morbidities • Position of implant • Mechanical and/or biological deficiencies • Debate continues regarding the “proper” method of assessing union with bone graft replacements as well as the cost vs benefit of available osteobiologics
Introduction • Surgical exploration and radiographic analysis continue to be acceptable options for evaluating fusion success • Purpose:To determine the ability of bone marrow aspirate and mineralized collagen placed in carbon fiber polymer cages to achieve multilevel anterior fusion in adult spinal deformity patients.
Methods • Prospective, consecutive, adult spinal deformity patients who required long fusions to the pelvis underwent multilevel anterior spine fusion using bone marrow aspirate/mineralized collagen and a carbon fiber interbody device, combined with instrumented posterior spinal fusion • Radiographic analysis included preop and minimum 1 year postop full length coronal and sagittal radiographs, lumbar flexion/extension radiographs and postop lumbar CT scans
Methods • Anterior spine fusion status at each level (T11-S1) evaluated minimum 1 year postoperatively by 3 independent surgeons using the Bridwell-Lenke grading scale • Grades <2.5 classified as fused • Grades >2.5 classified as not fused • Pre and post op HRQOL measures included: VAS, SRS-22, and ODI
Methods Statistical analysis: Comparison analysis using paired t-tests was performed with minimum of 1 year follow up Changes in ODI scores from preoperative to 1 year postop decreased significantly by an average of 12.53 (p=0.02) Changes in ODI scores from preop to 2 year post op decreased significantly by an average of 10.80 (p=0.02) There was no statistical change in ODI scores between the two post op periods (year 1 to year 2) Similar results were observed for SRS and VAS scores
Results • From 2006-2008, 23 adult spinal deformity patients received 109 anterior spine fusions (mean 4.7 levels/patient) • Follow up = 1.6 years • 95% of levels were classified as fused on plain radiographs • 86% of levels classified as fused on CT • Improvement demonstrated for all HRQOL measures • No statistically significant differences in outcome measures between patients classified as fused versus non-fused
Conclusion • Bone marrow aspirate/mineralized collagen demonstrates high fusion rates and improved patient outcomes for multilevel anterior spine fusions at intermediate follow-up. • Bone marrow aspirate/mineralized collagen is a viable osteobiologic alternative for anterior spine fusion in adult spine deformity patients receiving combined anterior and posterior spinal fusion.
