    Abstract Both bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and abaloparatide are used to promote bone formation. However, there is no consensus about their optimal administration. We investigated the optimal administration theory for the pairing of BMP-2 and abaloparatide in a rat spinal fusion model. Group I was only implanted in carriers and saline. Carriers with 3 µg of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) were implanted in other groups. Abaloparatide injections were administered three times a week for group III (for a total amount of 120 µg/kg in a week) and six times a week for group IV (for a total amount of 120 µg/kg in a week) after surgery. They were euthanized 8 weeks after the surgery, and we explanted their spines at that time. We assessed them using manual palpation tests, radiography, high-resolution micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and histological analysis. We also analyzed serum bone metabolism markers. The fusion rate in Groups III and IV was higher than in Group I, referring to the manual palpation tests. Groups III and IV recorded greater radiographic scores than those in Groups I and II, too. Micro-CT analysis showed that Tbs. Sp in Groups III and IV was significantly lower than in Group I. Tb. N in Group IV was significantly higher than in Group I. Serum marker analysis showed that bone formation markers were higher in Groups III and IV than in Group I. On the other hand, bone resorption markers were lower in Group IV than in Group I. A histological analysis showed enhanced trabecular bone osteogenesis in Group IV. Frequent administration of abaloparatide may be suitable for the thickening of trabecular bone structure and the enhancement of osteogenesis in a rat spinal fusion model using BMP-2 in insufficient doses.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to study the accuracy of pedicle screw (PS) insertion into dysplastic pedicles in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) comparing cannulated screw using the pedicle expansion technique (PET) versus conventional technique.
    Methods: Forty-two AIS patients with 766 PSs were evaluated. In total, 236 screws were inserted into dysplastic pedicles: 138 and 98 screws were inserted using the PET (PET group) and standard technique (conventional group), respectively. Both methods used CT-based navigation to determine the insertion point. In the PET, a rigid ball tip feeler was tapped with a mallet to create an insertion route, a guide wire was passed through the tap, the pedicle was enlarged, and then a cannulated PS with a diameter of 4.35 mm was inserted. Postoperative CT was used to compare the accuracy of PS insertion.
    Results: In total, 23/236 (9.7%) perforations occurred. Regarding overall perforation, there were six (4.3%) and 17 (17.3%) cases in the PET and conventional group, respectively (P = 0.008). In terms of medial perforation, the PET group (n = 2, 1.4%) was significantly better than the conventional group (n = 7, 7.1%) (P = 0.021). In terms of lateral perforation, the PET group (n = 4, 2.9%) was significantly better than conventional group (n = 10, 10.2%) (P = 0.030). Only grade 1 perforation had occurred in the PET group, whereas grades 2 and 3 perforation occurred in the conventional group.
    Conclusion: Use of the PET with CT-based navigation significantly increased the accuracy and safety of PS insertion in dysplastic pedicles in AIS.

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of gelatin matrix with human thrombin (GMHT) on blood loss and survival time in patients with metastatic spinal tumors treated with palliative decompression surgery with posterior spinal fusion.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 67 consecutive patients with metastatic spinal tumors who underwent palliative decompression surgery with posterior spinal fusion. We compared patients in whom GMHT was not used during surgery with those in whom GMHT was used. The following baseline characteristics were evaluated: age, height, weight, sex, metastatic tumor diagnosis, medical history, use of antiplatelet drug, use of anticoagulant drug, use of NSAIDs, smoking, preoperative PLT value, preoperative APTT, preoperative PT-INR, Karnofsky Performance Status score, Charlson comorbidities index score, the percentage of patients who received perioperative chemotherapy, main tumor level, Frankel category, revised Tokuhashi score, spinal instability neoplastic score (SINS), number of fusion segments, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, drainage blood loss, red blood cell transfusion, hemoglobin level, total protein (TP), albumin values, total blood loss (TBL), hidden blood loss, postoperative bed rest and postoperative survival time. Perioperative complications were assessed.
    Results: Age, height, weight, sex, metastatic tumor diagnosis, medical history, use of antiplatelet drug, use of anticoagulant drug, use of NSAIDs, smoking, preoperative PLT value, preoperative APTT, preoperative PT-INR, CCI score, main level of tumors, SINS score, preoperative Tokuhashi score and number of fusion segments did not differ significantly between the two groups. Operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage blood loss, and TBL were significantly decreased in the group with GMHT than in the group without GMHT. The total number of perioperative complications was significantly lesser in the group with GMHT than in the group without GMHT. The median postoperative survival time was significantly longer in the GMHT group than in the group without GMHT.
    Conclusion: GMHT should be considered a valid option for the treatment of patients with metastatic spinal tumors with a short life expectancy.

    Abstract Although gelatin-thrombin matrix sealants have been used successfully in other surgery types, their effect on reducing blood loss during single-level transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion is unclear. We thus examined the efficacy of gelatin-thrombin matrix sealants for reducing blood loss during such surgery. We analyzed 102 patients who underwent single-level transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion for lumbar degenerative disease. We compared body mass index, surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative blood loss, true total blood loss, hidden blood loss, the proportion of blood transfusion, blood pressure pre- and post-surgery (systolic and diastolic), and pre-and post-surgery laboratory data (hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and D-dimer) between patients in whom gelatin-thrombin matrix sealants were (GTMS group) or were not (control group) used during surgery. One-week postoperative epidural hematoma size was measured using magnetic resonance imaging. The GTMS and control groups included 54 (24 males and 30 females) and 48 patients (19 males and 29 females). Intraoperative, true total, and hidden blood loss; epidural hematoma size; and hospitalization duration were significantly lower in the GTMS than in the control group. Intraoperative blood loss correlated with surgical time (R = 0.523, P = .001), body mass index (R = 0.221, P = .036), and the amount of gelatin-thrombin matrix sealant used (r = -0.313, P = .002). In multivariate linear regression analysis using intraoperative blood loss as the dependent variable, surgical time (standardization coefficient 0.516, P = .001) and amount of gelatin-thrombin matrix sealant used (standardization coefficient -0.220, P = .032) were independently related factors. In our study, the GTMS group had significantly less intraoperative true total and hidden blood loss than did the control group. Thus, use of gelatin-thrombin matrix sealants reduce perioperative blood loss in transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion.

    Abstract We aimed to describe variations of dome impaction fractures and their characteristics using a new classification system, to explore the relationship between dome impaction and the gull sign. The present study was a retrospective descriptive study. All 104 cases of acetabular fracture that were treated in our institution from 2013 to 2022 were enrolled. Of these, 22 had dome impaction fractures. The primary outcome variable was to describe the variations and characteristics of dome impaction fractures. They were classified into 3 major subgroups based on reconstructed axial, coronal, and sagittal computed tomography findings: anteromedial, superomedial (SM), and posteromedial. The secondary outcome variable was to explore the relationship between dome impaction on computed tomography findings and the gull sign on plain radiographs. There were 4 cases of anteromedial (18.2%), 13 of SM (59.1%), and 5 of posteromedial (22.7%). There were 15 cases (68.2%) with the gull sign and 7 cases (31.8%) without the gull sign on plain radiographs. Twelve of fifteen cases (80.0%) with the gull sign had dome impaction fractures of the SM type. We found a variety of patterns of dome impaction fracture. Surgeons should be aware of atypical dome impactions not showing the gull sign.

    Abstract Although previous studies indicate that changes in cervical alignment after laminoplasty and dynamic factors influence surgical outcomes of cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), the relationship between the surgical outcomes, the distance between the kyphosis-line (K-line) and OPLL, and dynamic factors have not yet been quantitatively evaluated. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the relationship between ΔK-line distance and surgical outcomes in cases of laminoplasty for OPLL of the cervical spine. We retrospectively reviewed 46 consecutive patients (33 men and 13 women) with cervical OPLL who underwent laminoplasty. "K-line distance" was measured as the minimum interval between the K-line and OPLL on lateral radiographs. The following factors were analyzed: K-line distance in neutral, flexion, and extension neck positions, ΔK-line distance, preoperative C2-7 range of motion (ROM), preoperative segmental ROM, preoperative C2-7 lordotic angle, occupying ratio of the OPLL, disease duration, preoperative and postoperative Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, and recovery rate. Patients were divided into flexion K-line (+) and flexion K-line (-) groups. We then analyzed the influence of the K-line distance on surgical outcomes and conducted multivariate analysis to analyze the factors affecting surgical outcomes. The JOA score recovery rate in the flexion K-line (-) group was significantly lower than that in the flexion K-line (+) group (P = .024). The ΔK-line distance was significantly negatively correlated with the JOA score recovery rate (r = -0.531, P < .001). Additionally, multivariate analysis showed that ΔK-line distance (OR = -2.143, P = .015) was negatively correlated with the JOA score recovery rate. The ΔK-line distance is considered useful for the quantitative evaluation of dynamic factors and static compression factors due to OPLL through the measurement of dynamic radiographic images.

    Abstract The present study is retrospective analysis of consecutively collected data. Lateral lumber interbody fusion (LLIF) is widely used in cases of adult spinal deformities. However, the corrective effects of LLIF cage insertion on the vertebral rotation deformity in the axial plane and the individual effects of LLIF and direct vertebral rotation (DVR) on rotational correction are unclear. To individually examine the corrective effects of LLIF and posterior corrective fusion surgery with direct DVR on vertebral rotation deformities in adult degenerative kyphoscoliosis. We analyzed 21 patients (5 males and 16 females) who underwent two-staged anterior-posterior combined corrective fusion surgery for adult degenerative kyphoscoliosis. Surgical time, blood loss, facet joint osteoarthritis (OA) grade, disc degeneration, cage height, vertebral rotational angle, and various X-ray parameters were investigated as evaluation items. The X-ray parameters showed significant postoperative improvements. The mean vertebral rotation angle was 6.4° ± 5.2° preoperatively, 3.5° ± 3.3° after LLIF (P = .014, vs preoperative), and 1.6° ± 1.7° after posterior corrective fusion surgery with DVR (P = .011, vs preoperative). Correlation analysis between the vertebral rotation angle and various measured values revealed that the vertebral rotation angle after LLIF was correlated with the cage height (r = -0.46, P = .032). The vertebral rotation angle after DVR was correlated with the facet joint OA grade (r = -0.49, P = .018) and the wedge angle after posterior corrective fusion surgery with DVR (R = 0.57, P = .006). We conclude that the effects of rotational deformity correction with LLIF cage insertion and additional posterior corrective fixation with DVR can be useful for correcting vertebral rotation deformities.

    Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of teriparatide on device-related vertebral osteopenia after single lumbar spinal interbody fusion and compare osteopenia in fused and nonfused spinal segments using Hounsfield unit (HU) values. The present study was a retrospective cohort study. We reviewed 68 consecutive patients (28 men and 40 women) who underwent single-segment (L4-5) transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion with cage and pedicle screw fixation. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether they were treated with teriparatide (teriparatide and nonmedication groups). The primary outcome measure was HU values measured on computed tomography images from each L1 to S1 vertebral body12-month postoperatively. Secondary outcome measures were femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD), T-score, osseous union, and clinical outcomes using the Japanese Orthopedic Association scoring system 12-month postoperatively. There were significant decreases in HU values of lumbar vertebral bodies at all levels and BMD and T-score values obtained using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry of the femur between preoperative and postoperative 12-month computed tomography in the nonmedication group (P < .05). On the other hand, there were no significant differences between properative and postoperative 12-month HU values of each lumbar vertebral body and BMD values of the femur in the teriparatide group. Osseous fusion scores in the teriparatide group were significantly better than those in the nonmedication group. There were no significant differences in postoperative Japanese Orthopedic Association scores between the 2 groups. Administration of teriparatide during the perioperative period may prevent bone loss associated with spinal fusion surgery.

    Abstract Introduction: Both bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and teriparatide (parathyroid hormone [PTH] 1-34) are used to enhance bone healing. There is still no established opinion regarding the optimum dose and administration method. We investigated the optimal administration method for the combination of BMP-2 and PTH 1-34 in a rat spinal fusion model.
    Methods: Group I was implanted with a control carrier. Groups II, III, and IV were implanted with a carrier containing 3 μg of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2). In addition, following implantation, PTH 1-34 injections were administered to Group III thrice a week (total, 180 μg/kg/week) and Group IV six times a week (total, 180 μg/kg/week). The rats were euthanized after 8 weeks, and their spines were explanted; assessed by manual palpation, radiographs, and high-resolution micro-computed tomography (micro-CT); and subjected to histological analysis. Serum markers of bone metabolism were also analyzed.
    Results: Manual palpation tests showed that the fusion rates in Groups III and IV were considerably higher than those in Group I. They also had higher radiographic scores than Group I and II. Micro-CT analysis revealed Tb.Th in the Group IV had higher values than that in the Group I, II, III with significant differences and Tb.Sp in the Group IV had lower values than that in the Group I, II, III with significant differences. Serum marker analysis revealed that Group IV had higher osteocalcin and lower tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-5b than Group III. Histological analysis indicated that Group IV had enhanced trabecular bone structure.
    Conclusions: Frequent administration of PTH may be better in making thicker and strengthening the trabecular bone structure in newly formed bone in the rat spinal fusion model using insufficient BMP-2.

    Abstract The incidence of fragility fractures of the pelvis is sharply increasing in accordance with growing life expectancy in developed countries. Numerous conditions may compromise bone density and quality, and paraplegia due to spinal cord injury is one of them. As screw anchorage is often problematic in poor bone stock, spinopelvic dissociation demands a type of osteosynthesis, which is less dependent on the density of trabecular bone. We present a case of a paraplegic 45-year-old man, with non-displaced bilateral nonunion of the sacrum. The patient was treated with trans-sacral bar and spinopelvic fixation. Rapid relief from pain and functional recovery was achieved with complete bone healing 1 year after the operation.
