Abstract	Objective: Lumbosacral pseudoarthrosis is a common complication following adult spine deformity (ASD) surgery. This study assessed the reoperation rate for L5-S1 pseudoarthrosis in the ASD population. Compared with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions (TLIFs), we hypothesized that anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) would result in lower rates of L5-S1 pseudarthrosis. Methods: This is a single center study with patient data retrieved from a prospective ASD database. The patients had a long-segment fusion, ALIF or TLIF at the L5-S1 level with a 2-year follow-up and were divided into 2 groups (TLIF and ALIF). The study's primary outcome was to assess the difference in the reoperation rate for clinical pseudoarthrosis between the TLIF and the ALIF groups. The secondary outcomes measured the radiological pseudoarthrosis rate and identified risks for L5-S1 pseudoarthrosis development. Results: A total of 100 patients were included; 49 patients (mean age, 62.9 years; 77.5% females) were in TLIF and 51 patients (mean age, 64.4 years; 70.6% females) were in the ALIF group. Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups. Thirteen (13%) patients with L5-S1 pseudoarthrosis required reoperation. Clinical pseudoarthrosis was higher in the TLIF group than in the ALIF group (12/49 vs. 1/51; P < 0.001). Univariate analysis demonstrated a higher risk of L5-S1 pseudoarthrosis with TLIF than ALIF (risk ratio, 12.4; 95% confidence interval: 1.68-92.4; P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed 4.86 times the risk of L5-S1 clinical pseudoarthrosis with TLIF than with ALIF (risk ratio, 4.86; 95% confidence interval 0.57-47; P = 0.17), but this ratio did not reach statistical significance. Conclusions: No difference in reoperation risk for L5-S1 pseudarthrosis was observed based on the method of IF. rhBMP-2 was noted as a significant predictor.

Abstract	Study design: An ambispective, observational study of the prospective, institutional adult spine deformity (ASD) database. Objectives: The study investigates the clinical and radiographic fusion rates with lateral interbody approach and rhBMP-2 in multiple-level lumbar fusion in the ASD population. Previous studies have reported over 10% pseudoarthrosis rate with multiple segment fusions. Lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) allows multiple-level, less-invasive access to the anterior lumbar spine. We hypothesized that fusion rates with lateral approach with rhBMP-2 use are superior to the published data on lumbar fusion in ASD patients. Methods: The institutional ASD database was searched to identify eligible patients with two or more levels of LLIF (T12-L5), >4 levels of posterior instrumentations and >2 years of follow-up between the years 2010 and 2018. Antero-posterior and lateral 36-inch standing radiographs for each patient and computed tomography scans in select patients were studied to ascertain fusion status and patients were divided into two groups based on fusion status. Results: The study included 179 patients with a mean age of 65.3 years and 74% female patients. The median number of interbody fusions was performed at 3 (IQR 3-4) levels. The mean follow-up duration was 4.4 years (SD = 1.9). 169 patients (94.5%) had successful arthrodesis, while 10 patients (5.5%) had radiological pseudoarthrosis at one level. Of the 10 patients, 8 (4.4%) were either clinically asymptomatic or had manageable back pain. Two patients (1.1%) required revision surgery for symptomatic pseudoarthrosis. Conclusion: This is the largest known series of ASD patients investigating the fusion rates with multiple-level LLIFs. LLIF along with rhBMP-2 can achieve high fusion success across interbody fusion levels in multi-segmental ASD surgeries.
