High Dysplastic Spondylolisthesis
Grade 3 or morewith lysis or elongation of parsupper sacrum dysplasticL5 arch poorly formed
Marchetti PC & Bartolozzi P (1997)Classification of spondylolisthesis as a guidelinefor treatment. In Bridwell KH, DeWald RL (eds)The Textbook of Spinal Surgery. 2nd edn. Lippincott-Raven, Philadelphia, pp1211-1254
Classification andterms
Sagittal Spinopelvic Balancelocal & global
relationship ofpelvic incidencepelvic tiltsacral slope
low or high grade
Mac-Thiong JM, LaBelle H. A proposal for a surgical classification of pediatric lumbosacral spondylolisthesis.Eur Spine J, 2006
Classification and terms
Dysplastic Changes in L5-Sacropelvic Complex
Primary changesPosterior elements
laminafacets
Deficiency of posterior hook…pars
Secondary changesmonosegmental kyphosiswedged L5domed sacrumpelvic retroversiondegeneration of lumbosacral disc Dysplastic changes &
spinopelvic balance related
Compensatory Mechanisms—maintain global sagittalbalance
Increasing lordosis…segmental or adding lordotic segments to maximal attainable lordosis
Pelvic retroversion
PI fixed—SS decreasesPT increases
Decompensation occursusually forward leanof trunk
High Grade Spondylolisthesis
Elements •Deformity •Instability & Progression•Neurological impairment
Partial Treatment•Expose to failure•Further deterioration•Worse situation
Surgical Treatment…address pathomechanics
Goals of treatment…DeWald..Textbook of Spinal Surgery
1. Minimal segments fused 2. Interbody arthrodesis3. Restore sagittal vertical axis = reduction
•Balanceforces•Restore spinopelvicbalance
Reduction of High Grade SpondylolisthesisReduce What?
Lumbo-sacral kyphosisinterbody releaseinterbody structural graftrestores sagittal balance
Translation of L-5secondary effect
High Grade Spondylolisthesis…treatment challenge
“Extremely demanding and potentially dangerous”Schoenecker et al. Cauda equina syndrome after in-situ arthrodesis
for severe spondylolisthesis. J Bone Joint Surg Am 1990; 72:369
Multiple authors reportcatastrophic neurologic injurynerve root deficitsnon-unionsprogressive slippageneed for revision surgery
L-5 injury 5-35%
Spondylolisthesis Reduction-----why?
Direct canal decompressionCorrection of lumbosacral
kyphosis--cosmesisDecrease tension on fusion
biomechanical advantage Prevent risk of acute cauda
equina syndrome
Decrease pseudo-arthrosis ratePrevent slip progressionImprove quality fusion
Goal of surgery—restoration spinopelvic balance
Correction lumbosacralkyphosis—requires reduction (partial)
Maintain correctionrequires posterior instrumentationstructural L5-S1 implant
Spondylolistheis Reduction
Posterior shortening….Posterior tension bandstructural interbody graft = fulcrum for reduction
and lumbosacral lordosis production
Shufflebarger H, Geck M. High grade isthmicdysplastic spondylolisthesis: monosegmentalsurgical treatment. Spine 2005, 30 (6S):S42-49
• 25 patients
• Age 13.5 (10-16)
• Symptoms > 1year
– Back or leg pain
– Postural abnormality
• 96% follow-up
• Mean follow-up 5 yrs (4-9)
Neurologymotor deficit—11/25 10 L5 root, 1 incomplete cauda equinaSLR < 450 in most
All > 50% displacement L5
Percent Listhesis Slip Angle
Results
Neurology: all motor deficits cleared by 3 monthsSLR > 750 by 6 monthsNo new deficits
Sacral Inclination Sagittal Alignment LineC7 to post sacrum vertical
Results
Complications: no neurologic, infectious, reoperations, orpseudo-arthrosis. UTI, ileus common
Complications major 8%• bending of sacrum• 150 increase slip angle, then stable
Index Procedure
Harms et al, Textbook of Spinal Surgery---112 patients, 90%correction, 1 pseudo, 3 transient neurological deficits
Personal series---approximately 85 patients (15 years), data as reported for 25 patients. 6% implant complications, butno re-operations, one transient L-5 neuropathy
Mono-segmental surgery for spondylolisthesissurgical sequence
•Gill procedure & exposure L5 and S1 roots•Screw placement—reduction in L5•+/- temporary distraction•Discectomy •Sacral dome excision•Anterior graft—autogenous •Reduction—gradual with screws•Distraction •Cage placement•Compression •Postero-lateral graft
4 hour procedure, 650cc blood lossSacrum Dura
Role & Technique of Sacral Dome Resection inHigh Grade Spondylolisthesis
Pedicle subtraction osteotomy..Indications
Significant correction of sagittal imbalance
Production of 30+ degrees oflordosis from a single osteotomy
Role & Technique of Sacral Dome Resection inHigh Grade Spondylolisthesis

Errors in Surgical Treatment of High Grade Spondylolisthesis
•Failure to identify L5 roots•Inadequate proximal fixation
•Poor L5 pedicles•Inadequate distal fixation
•Tri-cortical S1•S2-alar or iliac screws
•Lack of anterior column support•Inadequate correction of LS kyphosis
