Efficacy of Sub-laminar and/or Interspinous Tethers to Prevent Proximal Junctional Kyphosis After Surgical Correction of Adult Spinal Deformity (TRANSITION)

Efficacy of Sub-laminar and/or Interspinous Tethers to Prevent Proximal Junctional Kyphosis After Surgical Correction of Adult Spinal Deformity - Randomized Multicentric Single Blind Controlled Trial

PJK (proximal junctional kyphosis) at the upper end of spinal fusions after surgical correction of adult spinal deformity is not uncommon. Two-thirds of cases are observed within the first 3 months after surgery and 80% within the first 18 months. PJK is consequently a common problem after surgery for adult spinal deformity, representing one of the most frequent complications following this kind of procedure. Although the first-line treatment of this event is conservative, surgery may be necessary in around 30-40% of cases. Revision surgery generally consists of extending the posterior spinal instrumentation.

Prophylactic vertebroplasty has been proposed to reduce the risk of PJK and PJF, with promising results but with the limitation of reinforcing only the bony structures, with no action on the soft tissues. In this context, some authors have reported that the use of tethers, creating a transitional zone at the upper end of the construct between the fused and the non-instrumented spine, could reduce the occurrence of this complication (PJK). One of the hypotheses is that the use of a topping-off system results in a transitional zone reducing stresses at the junctional spine and may reduce the occurrence of both PJK and the need for reoperation.

Compared with other topping-off systems, such as hooks, the surface of contact provided by the bands on the posterior arches is much greater and the primary stability much better. In addition, the risk of malposition is extremely low.

The aim of this study is therefore to compare the occurrence of PJK and PJF in patients for whom tethers were implanted at the upper end of the instrumentation versus patients for whom no tether system was used.

In a retrospective study conducted in the neurosurgery department of the HCL on 38 patients undergoing multilevel spine instrumentation with junctional tethers, PJK occurred in 8 of them (21%) after 24 months of follow-up.

Eksperimentel: Patient instrumented with a tether
Sub-laminar and/or interspinous tethers
Enhed: Tether strategy
During spine surgery sub-laminar or interspinous bands are utilized in combination with standard posterior rigid instrumentation (i.e. screws and metallic rods). They are typically implanted at the upper vertebral level, above the cranial screws, and then connected to the rods. Their implantation is based on standard surgical techniques for spine surgeons.
Aktiv komparator: Reference strategy
Standard surgery
Procedure: Reference
Patient will undergo the spine surgery as the standard of care, using only standard posterior rigid instrumentation (i.e. screws and metallic rods).

Evolution of the mean Quality-of-Life score will be assessed using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. The EQ-5D-5L, developed by the EuroQol Group to improve sensitivity and reduce ceiling effects, includes two components: the descriptive system and the visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The descriptive system covers five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression), each rated on five levels from no problems to extreme problems, generating a 5-digit health state code. The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical scale ranging from the best to the worst imaginable health, providing a quantitative measure based on the patient's own judgement.
