A novel surgical strategy of three column osteotomy at non-lesioned area for correcting severe angular kyphosis due to Pott’s disease: a retrospectively study

Abstract Severe sharp angular kyphosis resulting from Pott’s disease typically necessitates surgical intervention. The deployment of three-column osteotomy within the lesion and apical regions has been validated as an effective modality for the amelioration of angular kyphosis. Nonetheless, a propen...

description Abstract Severe sharp angular kyphosis resulting from Pott’s disease typically necessitates surgical intervention. The deployment of three-column osteotomy within the lesion and apical regions has been validated as an effective modality for the amelioration of angular kyphosis. Nonetheless, a propensity for residual kyphosis persists, accompanied by a significant perioperative risk profile. In pursuit of optimizing correctional outcomes and diminishing complication rates, we proposed an innovative surgical approach, utilizing osteotomy in the non-lesioned zones for the rectification of severe angular kyphosis associated with Pott’s disease. This retrospective investigation encompasses 16 subjects who underwent this novel surgical tactic, involving osteotomies in non-lesioned vertebral segments, at our institution from 2016 to 2018. Radiographic measures, encompassing kyphotic angle and sagittal vertical axis (SVA), were documented at baseline and during terminal follow-up. Neurological status was evaluated via the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grading system. Operative duration, volume of hemorrhage, and perioperative complications were systematically recorded. The cohort included 6 males and 10 females with an average age of 30.7 ± 11.41 years. Follow-up intervals spanned 24 to 42 months. Mean operative time and blood loss were 492 ± 127.3 min and 1791 ± 788.8 ml, respectively. The kyphotic angle improved from 97.6 ± 14.6° to 28.8 ± 18.70°. In cases with lumbar afflictions, vertebral restoration was achieved (L1–L5 and L2–S1). Initial mean SVA of 6.7 ± 3.58 cm was reduced to 3.3 ± 1.57 cm at follow-up. Neurological function enhancement was observed in six patients, while ten maintained baseline status. Complication rates, including wound infection and rod fracture at 12 months, were observed in approximately 11.8% of cases. Our findings suggest that the surgical strategy is both effective and safe for addressing severe angular kyphosis due to Pott’s disease, contingent upon the expertise of the surgical unit.
