Swiss spinal stenosis score (SSS 점수 ) 는요추협착증환자에대한평가법으로요추의기능장애, 특히신경허혈적인특성및그에따른보행능력을평가하는데유용하며최근여러연구에서척추협착증에의한척추의상태를평가하는데사용되고있다. 9-12) 본연구는슬관절전치환술후 1년및 2년에슬관절점수와 Hospital for Special Surgery scale (HSS 점수 ), Western Ontario & McMaster Osteoarthritis Index score (WOMAC 점수 ) 의변화를알아보고, SSS 점수로평가한척추의상태가이들의변화에어떤영향을미치는가를알아보고자하였다. 대상및방법 접수일 2012 년 6 월 25 일수정일 2012 년 11 월 4 일게재확정일 2013 년 1 월 7 일교신저자조우신서울시송파구올림픽로 43 길 88, 서울아산병원정형외과 TEL 02-3010-3530, FAX 02-488-7877 E-mail wscho@amc.seoul.kr 1. 연구대상 2009 년 8월부터 2010 년 5월까지진행된퇴행성슬관절염 (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3 이상 ) 으로단일집도의 (senior author) 에의해슬관절전치환술을시행받은환자 215 명 363 예중골절등의 대한정형외과학회지 : 제 48 권제 1 호 2013 Copyright 2013 by The Korean Orthopaedic Association This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/) which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

WOMAC 점수또한수술전 38.27, 수술후 1년 8.83, 수술후 2년 7.70 으로수술전에비해수술후에향상되었으며수술후 1년에비해수술후 2년에서통계적으로유의한감소를보였다 (Table 1). 관절운동범위는수술전굴곡각도 131.74 도, 수술후 1년 118.83 도, 수술후 2년 119.93 도로측정되었다. 수술전촬영한요추부단순방사선검사를통해요추부병변유무를확인한결과, 87명중 81명 (93.1%) 에서요추부병변 ( 요추부척추증, 척추전방전위증, 추체간간격협소등 ) 이있는것으로확인되었으며, 6명에서만일상의방사선검사상요추부병변을발견할수없었다. SSS 점수는수술후 1년 19.21 이었으며수술후 2년 21.89 로통계적으로유의한증가를보였다 (Table 1). 슬관절점수의경우, 수술후 1년및 2년추시모두 SSS 점수와상관관계가통계적으로유의하지않은결과를보인반면, HSS 점수는 SSS 점수가높을수록낮은경향을보였다 (p<0.0001). 또한 SSS 점수가높을수록슬관절점수와 HSS 점수간의차이값이높은뚜렷한경향을보였다 (p<0.01). WOMAC 점수와 SSS 점수간의상관관계또한 SSS 점수가높을수록 WOMAC 점수가높은경향을보였다 (p<0.0001) (Table 2, Fig. 1). 수술후 2년최종추시시슬관절전치환술평가지수에대한 SSS 점수의영향력을 linear regression model 을통하여분석한결과, SSS 점수가슬관절점수에대한영향력이통계적으로유의하지않은결과를보인반면 (p=0.36), SSS 점수가높을수록 HSS 점수는감소하고 WOMAC 점수는증가하는경향이있었다 (p <0.001). 슬관절점수와 HSS 점수간의차이값역시 SSS 점수가높을수록증가하게되는경향을보였다 (p<0.001) (Table 3).

5 요추병변과슬관절전치환술의결과 을유발할수있고 17) 정도에따라보행능력에심각한영향을미칠수있다. Kalichman 등 18) 은전산화단층촬영 (computed tomography, CT) 을이용한분석에서 60-69 세의환자군에서 47.2% 의상대적협착증과 19.4% 의절대적협착증을보고하였으며, 나이가들수록유병률이증가하는경향을보인다고하였다. 또한 Issack 등 19) 은퇴행성요추협착증이고령의환자에서통증과기능저하의주요한원인이라고하였다. 따라서, 고령의환자에서인공슬관절수술후요추협착증으로인하여환자의만족도가떨어지는경우가발생하기때문에무릎인공관절술은수술의적응을잡을때부터신중을기해야한다. 요추협착증을임상에서확인하기위해단순방사선검사를시행할수있겠지만, 본연구결과에서확인한대로대부분의환자가요추부의퇴행성변화를보이기때문에실제그효율성은크지않다. 이런환자의모두에게척추의 CT나자기공명영상 (magnetic resonance imaging) 등의특수검사를시행하는것은방사선노출이나비용문제등현실적으로한계가있다. 본연구에서는 SSS 점수를이용하여요추협착증을평가하고, SSS 점수가슬관절전치환술의결과평가에사용하는임상적점수들에미치는영향을분석하였다. SSS 점수는 Stucki 등 20,21) 에의해개발된것으로요추협착증환자에서요추의기능장애, 특히신경허혈적인특성및그에따른보행능력을평가하는데유용한것으로알려져있다. 여러연구들을통해 SSS 점수의유효성및신뢰성이확인되었으며, 20-24) 최근요추협착증에대한여러연구에서주요결과평가방법 (primary outcome) 으로사용되고있다. 9-12) Pratt 등 22) 은요추부협착증환자에대한설문평가방법들인 Shuttle walking test, SSS, Oxford claudication score, Oswestry disability index 에대한신뢰도비교연구에서 SSS 점수가가장재현성이높다고보고하였다. 또한 North American Spine Society 17) 는척추협착증의결과를정량화하는데있어서 SSS 점수를 'gold standard' 로추천하였다. SSS 점수는총 12개의문항으로구성되어있으며, 증상점수 (symptom severity scale, 7개문항, 35점 ) 와기능점수 (physical function scale, 5개문항, 20점 ) 로나누어져총점 55점으로산정되고, 점수가높을수록증상및기능장애가심한것으로되어있다 (Table 4). 수술받은환자의경우수술후환자의만족도 (patient's satisfaction after treatment scale) 의 6개문항 24점을추가하여총 79점으로평가하게된다. SSS 점수를이용한요추부질환의평가는설문지를이용하기때문에산정하기가쉽고경제적이며, 정량적분석이어서환자간비교가쉽다는장점이있다. 본연구에서슬관절전치환술의결과평가를위해 HSS 점수, knee society score, WOMAC 점수를사용하였다. HSS 점수는다자간, 치환물간및시간의경과에따른비교를하기에좋아연구를하기에용이하다. 24) 그러나, 슬관절의상태와상관없는전신상태의변화나나이에따른점수의변화가발생할수있지만이의 원인을밝힐수없다는단점이있다. 13,14) HSS 점수의단점을보완하여개발한 knee society score 는슬관절점수 (knee score) 와기능점수 (function score) 를나누고, 신체적여건에대한분류 (patient classification system) 도추가하였다. 25) 따라서, 슬관절점수의경우나이나동반질환에따른기능의저하에영향을받지않고슬관절의상태만을반영한다는장점이있지만반대로환자가실제로느끼는통증및기능을반영하지못한다는단점이있다. WOMAC 점수는무릎평가에대한설문을환자자신이작성함으로써환자에의한주관적인평가법이라고할수있으며 26) 쉽고간단하여서무릎의인공관절술후의평가에널리쓰이고있지만이역시기능의저하및통증의외인적요인을알수없다는단점이있다. 본연구에서수술후 1년에비해수술후 2년에 HSS 및슬관절점수가증가하였는데, 이는대부분의슬관절전치환술후중 단기추시연구결과와일치하며, 27-29) 어느정도수술의목적을달성했다고할수있다. 본연구결과환자의통증및기능이무릎이외의원인에의하여영향을받는 HSS 점수와 WOMAC 점수는 SSS 점수에의해통계적으로유의하게영향을받았으며, 슬관절외적영향을배제하도록고안된슬관절점수는 SSS 점수에의한영향을받지않았다. 또한무릎외의원인에영향을받지않는슬관절점수와 HSS 점수의차이는 SSS 점수에의해통계적으로유의한영향을받는것으로보였다. 이는 SSS 점수를통하여확인한척추의병변으로인한기능의저하가 HSS 점수및 WOMAC 점수에상당한영향을미치며, 슬관절점수와 HSS 점수의차이와 SSS 점수와관련이깊다는것은 SSS 점수가슬관절전치환술환자의수술후기능과밀접한상관관계를가진다고해석할수도있을것이다. 따라서슬관절전치환술후의사와환자모두만족할만한결과를얻고수술후통증및낮은기능점수에대한원인을확인하기위해수술전및수술후 SSS 점수를이용하여척추병변의정도를확인하는것이도움이될것으로생각된다. 본연구의한계점은추시기간이 2년으로비교적짧다는것이나이연구가인공슬관절의장기추시결과를알고자하는것이아니고평가지수간의상관관계및영향을알고자하는것이기때문에본연구의의의는충분할것으로생각된다. 결론 슬관절전치환술전및후의평가에있어서일반적으로무릎의평가법으로사용되는평가방법외에본연구에사용된 SSS 점수와같은척추의병변을반영하는평가법과병행하는것이술전예후예측및술후기능평가에중요한것으로생각된다.

Furthermore, resulting spinal problems could influence function and pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and hence, cause the results of TKA to be misinterpreted. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the effect of spinal disorders, as assessed by Swiss Spinal Stenosis score (SSS scores), on knee function as assessed by knee scores, the Hospital for Special Surgery scale (HSS scale) and Western Ontario & McMaster Osteoarthritis Index scores (WOMAC scores) in patients that after TKA. Materials and Methods: One hundred and forty nine osteoarthritic knees of 87 patients were enrolled in this study. All patients received TKA by single surgeon (W-S Cho) from August 2009 to May 2010. Preoperative and postoperative 1- and 2-years HSS scale, Knee, WOMAC, and SSS scores were recorded and analyzed. Results: Postoperative HSS scale, Knee, and WOMAC scores showed marked improvements versus preoperative scores, and scores at 2 years postoperatively were better than at 1 year postoperatively. No significant correlation was found between postoperative Knee scores and SSS scores. On the other hand, statistically significant correlations were found between HSS and SSS scores and between WOMAC and SSS scores. Interestingly, differences between Knee scores and HSS scores were found to be significantly correlated with SSS scores. Conclusion: When evaluating outcome after TKA, spinal problems should be investigated concomitantly. SSS scores appear to provide a suitable means of assessing spinal problems.
