In this study the authors compare the biomechanical effects of three different posterior reconstructions on the adjacent motion segment.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Methods.<\/jats:italic> Ten calf spinal (L2\u2014S1) specimens underwent nondestructive flexion\u2014extension testing (\u00b1 6 Nm). The specimens were destabilized at the L5\u2014S1 levels after intact testing. This was followed by pedicle screw fixation with and without interbody cages as follows: 1) with straight rods (\u201caligned\u201d posterolateral fusion); 2) with kyphotically prebent rods (\u201ckyphotic\u201d posterolateral fusion); and 3) with interbody cages combined with straight rods (\u201caligned\u201d PLIF\/posterolateral fusion). The range of motion (ROM) of the operative segments, the intradiscal pressure (IDP), and longitudinal lamina strain in the superior adjacent segment (L4\u20135) were analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">The ROM associated with aligned PLIF\/posterolateral fusion-treated specimens was significantly less than both the aligned and kyphotic posterolateral fusion-treated procedures in both flexion and extension loading (p &lt; 0.05). The aligned PLIF\/posterolateral fusion was associated with greater IDP and the lamina strain compared with the aligned and kyphotic posterolateral fusion groups in flexion loading. Under extension loading, greater IDP and lamina strain were present in the kyphotic posterolateral fusion group than in the aligned posterolateral fusion group. The highest IDP and lamina strain were shown in the aligned PLIF\/posterolateral fusion group.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> Compared with kyphotic posterolateral fusion, PLIF may lead to even higher load at the superior adjacent level because of the increased stiffness of the fixed segments even if local kyphosis is corrected by PLIF.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2003.99.2.0221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,7]],"date-time":"2009-05-07T15:56:27Z","timestamp":1241711787000},"page":"221-228","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["In vitro biomechanical effects of reconstruction on adjacent motion segment: comparison of aligned\/kyphotic posterolateral fusion with aligned posterior lumbar interbody fusion\/posterolateral fusion"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"99","author":[{"given":"Hideki","family":"Sudo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Itaru","family":"Oda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kuniyoshi","family":"Abumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manabu","family":"Ito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshihisa","family":"Kotani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshihiro","family":"Hojo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Akio","family":"Minami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1142","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199011010-00011","article-title":"Biomechanical evaluation of lumbar spinal stability after graded facetectomies.","volume":"15","author":"Abumi","year":"1990"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Spine","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199701010-00005","article-title":"Posterior lumbar interbody fusion.
