Kyphosis Correction with Patient Specific Rod

Kyphosis Correction with Patient Specific Rod

Aucun texte alternatif pour cette image

This is my first case with a Patient Specific Rod . I performed the surgery at the Instituto Clavel in Barcelona together with my colleague and friend Dr Ignasi Catala.

Female 44 y with Idiopathic Osteoporosis. Her first fracture of L3 was at the age of 20. She has had multiple osteoporotic fractures since causing this deformity. She's currently under treatment with teriparatide but her T score is still -3,5. She presented with severe imbalance and a heavy pain treatment ( morphine , tramadol , pregabalin ).

We simulated a correction with multiple SPo's and a T3 to Pelvis fusion. She had a first anterior approach with OLIF L4 L5 and ALIF L5 S1 through the same retroperitoneal approach, 3 days prior to the posterior surgery. We decided to put her back in a Roussouly Type 3 shape partially restoring the Pelvic Tilt. This is the xray at day 4 post op. Under-correction is voluntary to avoid junctional problems.Patient went home after 10 days needing only pregabalin and paracetamol.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I see that after a operation the patient is still not enough corrected and is not balanced. C7 above S1.
