New research on Pseudarthrosis is the subject of a report. According to news originating from Suzhou, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “To evaluate the surgical effectiveness of posterior procedure with long segment stabilization for treating thoracolumbar pseudarthrosis associated with ankylosing spinal disorders (ASD) without anterior fusion or osteotomy. Twelve patients with thoracolumbar pseudarthrosis in ASD were enrolled.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, “All patients underwent posterior long-segment stabilization procedures. In some patients, the percutaneous technique or the aid of a robot or O-arm navigation was utilized for pedicle screw implantation. The clinical results were evaluated by means of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Radiological outcomes were evaluated for bone fusion, anterior column defect, local kyphotic correction (LK) and position of the pedicle screws. All patients experienced effective bone fusion at the sites of pseudarthrosis. The mean operative time was 161.7±57.1 min, and the average amount of blood loss was 305.8 ± 293.2 ml. For six patients who underwent surgery with the assistance of a robot or O-arm navigation, there was no statistically significant difference observed in terms of operative time and mean blood loss compared to those who used the freehand technique (P >0.05). The VAS score, ODI value, and mean LK angle showed significant improvements at the final follow-up (P <0.05). The accuracy of pedicle screw placement was 96%. Posterior surgery with long-segment fixation, without anterior fusion or osteotomy, can achieve satisfactory outcomes in ASD patients with thoracolumbar pseudarthrosis.”
