摘要
OBJECTIVE Contrary to original cortical bone trajectory (CBT), "long CBT" directed more anteriorly in the vertebral body has recently been recommended because of improved screw fixation and load sharing within the vertebra. However, to the authors' knowledge there has been no report on the clinical significance of the screw length and screw insertion depth used with the long CBT technique. The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of the screw insertion depth in the vertebra on lumbar spinal fusion using the CBT technique. METHODS A total of 101 consecutive patients with L4 degenerative spondylolisthesis who underwent single-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion at L4-5 using the CBT technique were included (mean follow-up 32.9 months). Screw loosening and bone fusion were radiologically assessed to clarify the factors contributing to these outcomes. Investigated factors were as follows: 1) age, 2) sex, 3) body mass index, 4) bone mineral density, 5) intervertebral mobility, 6) screw diameter, 7) screw length, 8) depth of the screw in the vertebral body (%depth), 9) facetectomy, 10) crosslink connector, and 11) cage material. RESULTS The incidence of screw loosening was 3.1% and bone fusion was achieved in 91.7% of patients. There was no significant factor affecting screw loosening. The %depth in the group with bone fusion [fusion (+)] was significantly higher than that in the group without bone fusion [fusion (-)] (50.3% +/- 8.2% vs 37.0% +/- 9.5%, respectively; p = 0.001), and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that %depth was a significant independent predictor of bone fusion. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified %depth > 39.2% as a predictor of bone fusion (sensitivity 90.9%, specificity 75.0%). CONCLUSIONS This study is, to the authors' knowledge, the first to investigate the significance of the screw insertion depth using the CBT technique. The cutoff value of the screw insertion depth in the vertebral body for achieving bone fusion was 39.2%.
