Midterm Follow up Study - Kyung-Jin Song, M.D., Kwang-Bok Lee, M.D., and Jong-Han Yim, M.D. Departments of Orthopedic Surgery, Chonbuk National University Medical School, Research Institute of Clinical Medicine, Chonbuk National University Hospital, Jeonju, Korea Study Design: Retrospective study. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether preoperative sagittal alignment and range of motion (ROM) affect adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) and disease after anterior arthrodesis in degenerative cervical spinal disorders. Summary of Literature Review:There is no study about the relationship between preoperative ROM and sagittal alignment and the development of ASD yet. Materials and Methods: We took a retrospective approach to study 136 patients who underwent an anterior arthodesis for less than 2 segments with PEEK cage and plate construct method for degenerative cervical diseases and who have a minimum of 3 years of followup. We analyzed ASD and cervical ROM, such as less than 40 (group A) and more than 40 (group B) and sagittal alignment, such as lordosis or kyphosis with less than 10 (group a), 10 ~30 (group b) and more than 30 (group c). Adjacent segment degeneration was graded according to Park s classification and Hillibrand method. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between group A(1.35±0.48) and group B (1.44±0.50) in the correlation between the cervical ROM and the variation of disc height(p=0.07). Concerning the relationship between the ROM and osteophyte formation on adjacent segment, no statistically significant difference has been found between group A(1.64±0.88) and group B(1.43±0.67) (p=0.06). The disc height change at the final follow up after cervical sagittal alignment showed no statistically significant difference among the groups: Group A presented with 1.53±0.50, group B with 1.30±0.46 and group C with 1.40±0.50.(p=0.08) Regarding sagittal alignment and osteophyte change, there was no statistically significant difference among the groups as group A showed an average of 1.33±0.48, group Ban average of 1.56±0.88 and group Can average of 1.60±0.82(p=0.07). Conclusion: Although the preoperative sagittal alignment and ROM did not significantly affect adjacent segment degeneration and diseases in a mid-term follow-up evaluation after anterior arthrodesis with PEEK cage and plate in degenerative cervical spinal disorders, we think a future study is required with a sufficient number of patients and a long term follow-up because there were borderline statistical significances shown in the present study.

P value 는 0.05 미만일때, α value 는 미만일때통계학적유의성을보이는것으로하였다. 결과 136명의환자중 40도미만의굴신운동범위를갖는 A군은총 66명, 40도이상의큰굴신운동범위를갖는 B군은 70명이었다. 경추측면정렬의전만정도가 10도미만이거나후만이있는 a군은 30예, 10~30 도의측면정렬을보이는 b군은 86예, 30도초과의측면정렬을보이는 c군은 20예였다. 평균 1.40±0.50 점으로, 통계학적으로각군간의의미있는차이는보이지않았다 (p =0.08). 최종추시경추측면사진상인접분절의골극형성은 a군에서 1단계 20명, 2단계 10명, 3단계와 4단계모두 0 명이었고, 평균은 1.33±0.48, b군에서 1단계 56명, 2단계 16명, 3단계 10명, 4 단계 4명이었고, 평균 1.56±0.88, c군에서 1단계 12명, 2단계 4 명, 3단계 4명, 4단계 0명이었고, 평균 1.60±0.82 로, 통계학적으로각군간의의미있는차이는보이지않았다 (p =0.07). 3. 인접분절질환의발생률수술후외래추시관찰중새롭게발생한인접분절과관계된방사통및척수병증은자기공명영상과컴퓨터단층촬영으로병변을확인하였다. 136명의환자중수술후 1년에 1 예, 2 년에 2 예, 3년에 2 예, 4년에 1 예가새롭게발생하였으며, 총 6 예 (4.41%) 에서발생하였다. 해마다발생하는인접질환발생율은 1년째에 0.7 %, 2년째에 1.47 %, 3년째에 1.47 %, 4년째에 0.7 % 를보였으며, A군에서 4명으로발생률은 6.1%, B군은 2명으로 2.9% 의발생률을보여, 두군간에통계학적으로의미있는차이는보이지않았다 (P=0.09). 또 a군 2명 (6.6%), b군 4명 (4.6%) 의발생률을보였으며, 통계학적차이는보이지않았다 (P=0.10). 발생위치로는경추 3-4번에서 1예, 경추 4-5번에서 2예, 경추 5-6번에서 1예, 경추 6-7번에서 1예였으며, 증상을보이는환자에대하여약물및보조기치료로 6명모두에서증상의호전을보였다. 1. 경추운동범위와인접분절의골극형성및추간판높이의변화추간판높이의변화에따른퇴행성정도는 A군에서 1단계 43 명, 2단계 23명, 3단계 0명, 4단계 0명으로각단계별로점수화하여평균 1.35±0.48 점이며, B군에서 1단계 39명, 2단계 31명, 3단계 0명, 4단계 0명, 평균 1.44±0.50 점으로 A군과 B군의통계학적차이는보이지않았다 (p=0.07). 인접분절의퇴행성변화중최종추시경추측면사진상인접분절의골극형성이 A군에서 1단계 39명, 2단계 15명, 3단계 9 명, 4단계 3명이었으며, 평균 1.64±0.88 점이며, B군에서 1단계 47명, 2단계 16명, 3단계 7명, 4단계 0명평균 1.43±0.67 점으로통계학적으로 A군과 B군의차이는보이지않았다 (p=0.06). 2. 시상면정렬과인접분절의골극형성및추간판높이의변화각군별추간판높이의변화에다른퇴행성정도는 a군에서 1 단계 14명, 2단계 16명, 3단계 0명, 4단계 0명으로각단계별로점수화하여평균 1.53±0.50 점이며, b군에서 1단계 60명, 2단계 26명, 3단계 0명, 4단계 0명이었고, 평균 1.30±0.46 점이었다. c 군에서는 1단계 12명, 2단계 8명, 3단계 0명, 4단계 0명이었고, 고찰 인접분절퇴행성병변은유합된인접분절에방사선학적으로퇴행성변화를보이는경우를말하며, 인접분절질환은해당인접분절의퇴행성변화에신경근증이나척수병증의신경증상이발생할때를의미한다. 6,11) 전방유합술이퇴행성경추질환을치료하는데효과적으로알려져있지만, 장기간추적관찰시에약 7~15% 에서인접한분절에증상을유발하는퇴행성변화가나타난다고알려져있다. 21,22) 경추유합은인접분절의생역학적조건을변화시켜퇴행성변화및인접분절질환의발생에영향을주며, 인접분절에과도한부하, 과도한운동과인접분절추간판내압력상승을야기한다고여러연구에서보고하고있다 ) Park 등 16)) 은사체생역학실험으로경추유합술을시행후경추 3번에부하제공시인접분절에추간판내압력상승및운동범위증가하며, 한분절보다두분절유합시추간판압력을더욱상승시킨다고보고하였다. 또한 Rao 등 17) 도사체생역학적연구를통하여경추유합인접분절에과도한부하와추간판내압력상승이인접분절의퇴행성변화에영향을주는인자라고보 4

Elsawaf 등 19) 은 20명의평균 28개월추시경추유합술시행후인접분절의운동범위가보상적으로증가하게되고이로인해인접분절의퇴행성변화를유발하는중요한인자라고하였다. 그러나현재까지수술전경추운동범위와경추후만정렬이인접분절의퇴행성변화를유발하는관련인자라고보고한연구는없었으며, 저자들의연구결과를보면케이지와전방금속판을이용한유합술에있어수술전경추시상면정렬의변화와경추운동범위정도가인접분절의퇴행성변화를촉진시키는데에기여한다고생각할어떤근거도발견하지못하였다. 유합인접분절질환에대하여여전히여러연구에서논쟁거리가되고있으나유합후단순방사선사진상나타나는인접분절의퇴행성병변은반드시방사통및척수병증의증상을나타내지는않으며, 이는골극형성및추간판감소의퇴행성변화가인접분절의질환과는연관성이없다는것이여러연구의일반적인견해이다. 20) Hilibrand 등 6) 은퇴행성경추질환에대해전방금속판고정없이자가골이식유합술을시행한환자에있어인접분절질환의연간발생률을 2.9% 로보고하며, 생존분석상수술후 10년이내약 25% 이상의유병률을보고하였으며, 경추 5-6번또는경추 6-7번유합술이인접분절질환의위험인자이며, 다분절유합술보다단분절유합술시인접분절질환의위험인자로보고하였다. 본연구에서수술후추시기간이평균 46 개월 (40-62 개월 ) 로기존연구에비해비교적단기간이라는제한점이있어서, 수술전경추시상면정렬과운동범위가인접분절의골극형성및추간판간격감소등의퇴행성변화에영향을주는인자가아니라고결론을내리기는힘들지만, 일단중 장기추시에서는영향을미치지않는것으로생각된다. 이는퇴행성변화이외에다른여러인자가복합적으로작용하여인접분절질환에영향을준다고생각하며, 또한일정부분자연경과가인접분절질환을유발한다고생각한다. 본연구에서는연구대상이충분하지않고, 추시기간이길지않다는제한점이있으며, 수술후의생활습관과경추의운동범위및시상면정렬의정도를고려하지않았다는한계점이존재한다. 실제로본연구에서수술후 50도미만의운동범위를갖는군은 108예에서 132예로증가였고, 이는수술후운동범위 의감소를의미한다. Katsuura 등 8) 은 42명의평균 9.8년의장기간추시퇴행성경추질환에대해금속판고정술없이자가장골이식에의한전방유합술을시행한환자들에서수술후경추후만정렬이인접분절의퇴행성변화를유발하는중요한인자라고하였다. 본연구에서는시상면정렬에서전만정도가 10도미만이거나후만이있는군은 30 예에서 10예로감소되었으며, 이또한수술전의시상면부정정렬이많이교정되었음을의미한다. 본연구의연간인접질환평균발생율은 1.1 % 로 Hilibrand 등이보고한 2.9 % 보다작았으며, 이러한결과는수술후시상면정렬의교정이인접분절질환의발생감소에영향을주었을것으로사료된다. 또한이연구에서보여준통계적결과가 0.06 에서 0.08 정도를보여의미없는통계적수치이기는하나의미있는수치인 0.05 에근접하므로증례수나추시기간, 통계적처리방법등연구의변수가바뀌게되면의미있는수치로변할수있으므로이에대한해석의주의가필요하리라생각한다. 또한저자들의경우에케이지를이용하므로기존의자가장골유합시필연적으로발생하는점진대치 (creeping substitution) 에의해발생될수있는이식골의침강을줄이려고노력하였고, 금속판을이용하므로인해시상면의전만정렬을유지할수있어술후및추시관찰상시상면정렬이잘유지될수있어기존의연구에비해인접질환의연간발생률이비교적적은결과를얻을수있었다고생각한다. 또한기존연구들이전방금속판고정술없이자가장골만을이용한유합술후의인접질환발생에대한연구이기때문에전방유합술및금속판이용한전방고정술이술후인접분절의퇴행성변화나퇴행성질환의발생에어떤영향을줄수있을지에대해서는좀더전향적이고장기적인연구가필요할것으로생각된다. 결론퇴행성경추질환에서케이지와전방금속판을이용한유합술후중기추시관찰상수술전시상면정렬과운동범위가전방유합술후인접분절퇴행성변화와인접분절질환에대한발생에영향을미치지않았다.
