1 Abstract The Results & Affecting Factors of Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion with TPM Cages in Spondylolisthesis Jae Yoon Chung, MD, Hyoung Yeon Seo, MD, Jong Seon Kim, MD Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Chonnam National University Hospital, Gwangju, Korea Study Design : This is a retrospective study analyzing the results of posterior lumbar interbody fusion(plif with TPM cages in spondylolisthesis Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical, radiologic results & affecting factors of PLIF with TPM cages in spondylolisthesis Summary of Literature Review : The ordinary PLIF has 86-98% of radiologic union rate and clinical satisfactory rate The problems of ordinary PLIF were graft breakage, donor site morbidity, limited bone resources, high failure rate using only transpedicular screw fixation Materials and Methods : From October 1995 to January 1999, 108 consecutive patients with spondylolisthesis were treated by PLIF with TPM cages, in which morcellized bone chips salvaged from posterior neural arch applied, and pedicle screw fixation Results : Preoperative Low Back Pain score(total 100 points was improved from 474 points to 887 points at last follow-up 10 point visual analogue scale was reduced to 15 point at last follow-up In the end results, Ninty-two percent of patients rated as excellent or good The preoperative value of slippage, 186% was achieved to 55% at last follow-up The anterior intervertebral disc space height was increased from 100 to 162mm postoperatively Fusion occurred in all patients except one Groups below 60-year-old patient at the time of surgery showed better clinical results than those above 60 (P<005 No clear correlations were noted between sex, the types of spondylolisthesis, bone mineral density, smoking habits and obesity in clinical, radiologic results Conclusion : PLIF with TPM cages is appeared to be a recommended procedure of choice to treat lumbar spondylolisthesis and this operation should be performed with a caution in aged patients Key Words : Lumbar spine, Spondylolisthesis, TPM cage, Posterior lumbar interbody fusion, Affecting factor Address reprint requests to Jae Yoon Chung, MD Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, College of Medicine, Chonnam National University #8 Hak-dong, Dong-ku, Gwangju, , Korea Tel : , Fax : , jychung@chonnamchonnamackr
