NCT02388555

Brief Summary

Currently there is paucity of information on the prevalence of pre-operative coronal imbalance in patients with degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) and its influence on surgical outcomes. This study aims to investigate in DLS, the prevalence of coronal imbalance, to propose a novel classification system and to investigate whether pre-operative coronal imbalance affects clinical outcomes following osteotomy. A total of 284 DLS patients were recruited.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The relationship between coronal balance classification and immediate post-operative imbalance using radiographic measurements

    This part of the study aims to analyze the immediate imbalance after surgery, most of the patients took post-operative films two weeks after surgery, but there were some patients who could not stand at that timepoint and the follow-up time was then at 3 months after surgery.

    Up to 3 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Relationship between post-operative imbalance and quality of life using quality of life questionnaires including SF-36, ODI and VAS

    Up to 1 year

  • Prevalence of coronal imbalance in degenerative scoliosis using radiographic measurements

    Up to 2 year pre-operative follow-up

Study Arms (2)

Pre-operative group

Respectively recruited patients with DLS. Patients in this group were not surgically treatment. Only pre-operative radiographic parameters were measured.

Surgically treated group

All DLS patients received posterior osteotomy correction of spinal deformity. The immediate post-operative radiographic measurements were performed.

Procedure: Posterior osteotomy correction

Interventions

The DLS patients underwent osteotomy including pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) or Smith-Petersen osteotomy (SPO)

Surgically treated group
