description Study DesignProspective, cohort, non-inferiority study.PurposeThis study evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of interbody fusion using a combination of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and hydroxyapatite (HA).Overview of LiteratureThe use of autografts remains a gold standard in lumbar interbody fusion, but the limited availability and donor site morbidity encourages the use of bone substitutes. In addition to autografts, a combination of HA and DBM is being increasingly use for lumbar interbody fusion. However, there are no data on the clinical and radiological outcomes of this procedure.MethodsWe examined 35 patients with lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis who underwent transforaminal interbody fusion. Autografts were used in 18 patients, and 17 patients received a combination of HA and DBM. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) for back and leg pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI), and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Fusion was evaluated using computed tomography images obtained at 12 months postoperatively.ResultsThe mean ODI, JOA, and back and leg pain VAS scores increased significantly in both groups. However, the VAS, JOA, and ODI scores did not differ significantly between the two groups (p=0.599, p=0.543, and p=0.780, respectively). The fusion rates at 1 year postoperatively were 77.8% and 76.5% in the autograft and HA+DBM groups, respectively (p=0.99).ConclusionsThe clinical and radiological outcomes of using a combination of HA and DBM in lumbar interbody fusion were not inferior to those of using autografts. A combination of HA and DBM can be considered as an alternative in patients with lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis requiring surgery.
