| Abstract | Objective: This study aimed to quantify the change in pressure on the cage during compression manipulation in lumbar interbody fusion. While the procedure involves applying compression between pedicle screws to press the cage against the endplate, the exact compression force remains elusive. We hypothesize that an intact facet joint might serve as a fulcrum, potentially reducing cage pressure. Methods: Pressure on the intervertebral disc cage was measured during compression manipulation in 4 donor cadavers undergoing lumbar interbody fusion. Unilateral facetectomy models with both normal and parallel compression and bilateral facetectomy models were included. A transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion cage with a built-in load cell measured the compression force. Results: Pressure data from 14 discs indicated a consistent precompression pressure average of 68.16 N. Following compression, pressures increased to 125.99 N and 140.84 N for normal and parallel compression postunilateral facetectomy, respectively, and to 154.58 N and 150.46 N for bilateral models. A strong linear correlation (correlation coefficient: 0.967, P < 0.0001) between precompression and postcompression pressures emphasized the necessity of sufficient precompression pressure for achieving desired postcompression outcomes. None of the data showed a decrease in compression force to the cage with the compression maneuver. Conclusions: Both normal and parallel compression maneuvers effectively increased the pressure on the cage, irrespective of the facet joint resection status. Compression manipulation consistently enhanced compressive force on the cage. However, when baseline pressure is low, the manipulation might not yield significant increases in compression force. This underlines the essential role of meticulous precompression preparation in enhancing surgical outcomes. |
