Abstract

Introduction Lumbar and lumbosacral spinal fusion is an established procedure for the treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis. However, the impact of reduction in the affected segment and of improvement in the radiological sagittal parameters on the clinical outcome remains unclear. Purpose of the study is to analyze the correlation between the radiological sagittal parameters and clinical outcome after lumbar spinal fusion in low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis. Materials and methods In a monocentric prospective, clinical study, patients with low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis of a single lumbar segment have been included. All patients received a lumbar spinal fusion according to the pathology of the treated segment. Patients attended clinical and radiological follow-up examination 1 and 2 years postoperatively. Clinical outcome was assessed using the Core Outcome Measurement Index (COMI), the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the EuroQol 5D. The sagittal spinopelvic radiological parameters, sagittal rotation and anterior displacement of the affected segment and lumbar lordosis were assessed. The correlation between the sagittal radiological parameters and clinical outcome was analyzed using Spearman-Rho bi-serial test. Results Sixty-two patients (35 female and 27 male) with an average age of 59.3 years were included in the study. All patients completed the follow-up examinations. Significant improvement in COMI, ODI and EuroQol 5D scores was shown in all follow-up examinations. Significant reduction in the anterior displacement was measured postoperatively, which was preserved during the follow-up. However, no correlation could be demonstrated between reduction in anterior displacement and improvement in clinical outcome. Nonetheless, correlation between correction of sagittal rotation and clinical outcome was shown. Conclusions Reduction in anterior displacement of the affected segment in the surgical treatment of low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis does not have an impact on the clinical outcome.
