Summary

Decreased cervical lordosis after surgery is linked to adjacent segment pathology. Restoring lordosis may improve long-term outcomes and reduce the risk of RASP.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Spine Surgery
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Cervical lordosis changes are common after anterior cervical arthrodesis.
  • The impact of these lordotic alterations on adjacent segment pathology (RASP) remains unclear.
  • Biomechanical shifts post-arthrodesis may precipitate RASP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the correlation between reduced cervical lordosis and RASP after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF).
  • To assess the biomechanical impact of altered lordosis on adjacent spinal segments post-surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 80 patients undergoing ACCF for cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM).
  • Development and validation of finite element (FE) models simulating pre- and post-operative cervical spine conditions with normal and decreased lordosis.
  • Analysis of range of motion (ROM) at adjacent segments in FE models.

Main Results:

  • A decrease in post-operative cervical lordosis was a significant predictor of RASP onset (hazard ratio 0.45).
  • FE models showed increased ROM at adjacent segments after surgery, with a more pronounced increase in the decreased lordosis model.
  • Post-operative cervical lordosis changes significantly correlate with RASP occurrence.

Conclusions:

  • Post-operative cervical lordosis decrease is a prognostic indicator for RASP.
  • Altered biomechanics at adjacent segments due to lordosis changes may contribute to RASP.
  • Maintaining or restoring cervical lordosis after ACCF may mitigate RASP and enhance long-term surgical success.
