| dc.description.abstract | Study designProspective multicenter cohort study with consecutive enrollment.ObjectiveTo evaluate preoperative alignment and surgical factors associated with suboptimal early postoperative radiographic outcomes after surgery for cervical deformity.Summary of background dataRecent studies have demonstrated correlation between cervical sagittal alignment and patient-reported outcomes. Few studies have explored cervical deformity correction prospectively, and the factors that result in successful versus failed cervical alignment corrections remain unclear.MethodsPatients with adult cervical deformity (ACD) included with either cervical kyphosis more than 10°, C2-C7 sagittal vertical axis (cSVA) of more than 4 cm, or chin-brow vertical angle of more than 25°. Patients were categorized into failed outcomes group if cSVA of more than 4 cm or T1 slope and cervical lordosis (TS-CL) of more than 20° at 6 months postoperatively.ResultsA total of 71 patients with ACD (mean age 62 yr, 56% women, 41% revisions) were included. Fourty-five had primary cervical deformities and 26 at the cervico-thoracic junction. Thirty-three (46.4%) had failed radiographic outcomes by cSVA and 46 (64.7%) by TS-CL. Failure to restore cSVA was associated with worse preoperative C2 pelvic tilt angle (CPT: 64.4° vs. 47.8°, P = 0.01), worse postoperative C2 slope (35.0° vs. 23.8°, P = 0.004), TS-CL (35.2° vs. 24.9°, P = 0.01), CPT (47.9° vs. 28.2°, P < 0.001), "+" Schwab modifiers (P = 0.007), revision surgery (P = 0.05), and failure to address the secondary, thoracolumbar driver of the deformity (P = 0.02). Failure to correct TS-CL was associated with worse preoperative cervical kyphosis (10.4° vs. -2.1°, P = 0.03), CPT (52.6° vs. 39.1°, P = 0.04), worse postoperative C2 slope (30.2° vs. 13.3°, P < 0.001), cervical lordosis (-3.6° vs. -15.1°, P = 0.01), and CPT (37.7° vs. 24.0°, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed postoperative distal junctional kyphosis associated with suboptimal outcomes by cSVA (odds ratio 0.06, confidence interval 0.01-0.4, P = 0.004) and TS-CL (odds ratio 0.15, confidence interval 0.02-0.97, P = 0.05).ConclusionFactors associated with failure to correct the cSVA included revision surgery, worse preoperative CPT, and concurrent thoracolumbar deformity. Failure to correct the TS-CL mismatch was associated with worse preoperative cervical kyphosis and CPT. Occurrence of early postoperative distal junctional kyphosis significantly affects postoperative radiographic outcomes.Level of evidence3. | |
