Procedure 35  | Lumbar Total Disk Arthroplasty    329

Surgical Anatomy

n
During anterior exposure at the L5-S1 level, the disk space is found between
the left and right iliac veins (Figure 35-4).
n
For L3-4 and L4-5 procedures, the vessels should be dissected off the anterior
spine and retracted to the right to expose the spine (Figure 35-5).

P O S I TI O N I N G PE A R L S
• Have the surgical disk level at the “break” in the table to extend the lumbar spine during the procedure for better access to disk space.
• Keep the plane of pelvis parallel to the floor to aid in correct placement of the implant (use leveler device to verify).
P O S I TI O N I N G PI T FA L L S
• Do not use static bumps or pillows under the pelvis.
• Lithotomy position is optional (widely used in Europe; less frequently used in the United States).

• Use of intraoperative fluoroscopy to show angle and level of disk space is helpful to plan an incision, especially when using a horizontal incision.
• For larger patients, a vertical incision is preferred.
• Avoid injury to the inferior epigastric vessels on the underbelly of the rectus muscle.
• The ureter should be identified and retracted along with the peritoneal sac and never dissected separately.
• For L5-S1 procedures, the middle sacral artery should be identified and ligated.
• For L3-4 and L4-5 procedures, segmental vessels may need to be identified and ligated.
• At L4-5, the ascending lumbar vein may limit vascular mobilization and require ligation.

• Horizontal incisions placed improperly hinder the remainder of the operation.

Positioning

n
The patient is positioned supine on a regular operating table with arms padded
at the elbow and taped across the chest.
Portals/Exposures
n
The anterior approach to the lumbar spine is used through either a transverse
or horizontal incision.
n
The rectus fascia is incised in line with the skin incision, and the midline fascial
raphe of the rectus is identified.
n
The retroperitoneal dissection starts on the medial border of the rectus and
proceeds lateral and posterior to the muscle belly, having less potential chance of denervation of the rectus.
n
The plane is bluntly dissected superficial to the abdominal contents along the
left abdominal wall outside the peritoneum and taken posteriorly toward the psoas muscle (Figure 35-6).
n
The entire peritoneal sac (with the ureter) can be bluntly dissected off the
abdominal wall and retracted toward the midline with a handheld retractor.
n
Insertion of a screw or bent needle into the disk space should be done to verify
the level and verify the midline of the disk space with fluoroscopic imaging (mark the position on the anterior spine with Bovie cautery before removing marker).

• A thorough diskectomy in the posterior corners is crucial for successful implantation.
• Use a midline marking to create a symmetric diskectomy.
S T E P 1 P IT FA L L S
• Violation of the end plate should be avoided during diskectomy.
S T E P 2 P EA R L S
• It is important to fully restore the disk height to recreate a mobile segment and avoid expulsion of the implant because of tight soft tissues.
S T E P 2 P IT FA L L S
• When using the disk space distractors, they must be inserted to the posterior aspect of the disk space to use solid peripheral bone; otherwise, an end plate fracture can occur.
• Use of curettes during release of the PLL should be visualized under fluoroscopic imaging to minimize risk.

Procedure

Step 1:  Diskectomy
n
Perform a complete diskectomy (leaving only the lateral annulus and posterior
longitudinal ligament), with removal of cartilaginous end plate from both supe­rior and inferior vertebral bodies (Figure 35-7).
Step 2:  Remobilization
n
Release of the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) off of the posterior vertebral
bodies should be completed using a small curved curette (Figure 35-8).
n
Specialized distractors and paddles are inserted into the disk space to help with
remobilization (Figure 35-9).

S T E P 3 P EA R L S
• Depending on intended implant, know all available sizes.
• If the trial is translated off-center, further diskectomy or annulotomy may be required to “balance” the disk space, thereby allowing the trial to center.
S T E P 3 P IT FA L L S
• Improper position of trial can lead to poorly placed implant and eventual failure of the arthroplasty.
Step 3:  Trial Insertion
n
Based on midline marking, insert appropriately sized trial into disk space under
lateral fluoroscopy and visualize on anteroposterior (AP) fluoroscopy for verifica­tion (Figure 35-10).
n
Start with a 10-mm trial, and increase in size depending on the resistance felt
and amount of disk height restoration on the lateral fluoroscopic images.
Step 4:  Keel Preparation
n
For keeled total disk arthroplasty devices, the keels should be cut under lateral
fluoroscopy to visualize depth (Figure 35-11).

• Double check assembly of the device on the instrumentation before insertion.
• If the device is difficult to insert, extend the lumbar spine by using the table controls (restore to neutral before final positioning of device).
S T E P 5 P IT FA L L S
• For keeled devices, if the trial was not placed posterior enough in the disk space, the implant will also not be posterior enough.
P O S T OP E R AT IV E P E A R L S
• Physical therapy can commence after wound healing; patients must avoid extension exercises for 6 weeks.
• Return to activities without restriction is at 3 months. Low-impact sports are then acceptable (i.e., golf, tennis, skiing, basketball).
Step 5:  Device Insertion
n
The arthroplasty device should be inserted as far posterior as possible within
the disk space (Figure 35-12).
n
Lateral fluoroscopic images should be used frequently to verify the angle at
which the device is being inserted and the depth.
n
A final AP image should be taken to verify that the device is positioned in the
midline (Figure 35-13).

Postoperative Care and Expected Outcomes

n
Patient should be admitted for inpatient observation.
n
Start with clear liquid diet, and advance as tolerated.
n
Ambulation should commence on the day of surgery.
n
A corset brace should be used for comfort until the wound has healed.

This is a prospective  study  with  2-year follow-up presenting the results  of total  disk replacement (TDR) in  118  patients  with diskogenic low back pain.  A  single-level TDR was performed  at  L3-S1,  with outcome measurements taken at  3, 6, 12, and  24  months  after surgery. The authors found that improvements   in the Visual Analogue Scale, the Oswestry Disability  Index, and patient  satisfaction occurred at 3  months  and  were maintained at 24 months,  all with  statistical significance. At the  index  level,  disk height increased from 4  to  13 mm, and segmental  motion  increased  from 3 to 7 degrees,  both with  statistical significance as well.  They  concluded  that TDR is a successful  alternative to fusion, with  consistent  results  at 2-years follow-up. Although this  is a prospective case  series,  it  legitimizes TDR as a treatment  option for  disabling low back pain  resulting  from  diskogenic syndrome.

Procedure

Step 1
n
Using biplanar fluoroscopy, identify the entry point and the skin incision.
n
After injecting local anesthetic, a 3-mm paramedian skin incision is created over
the entry site to the fractured bone.
n
Use a Jamshidi needle to locate the entry point to the pedicle and to feel the
bony landmarks.
n
The Jamshidi needle is advanced through the bone of the pedicle using a tapping
mallet.
n
The Jamshidi needle should be positioned at the junction of the pedicle and the
vertebral body.
n
After removing the trocar, place a guidewire in the hollow core of the needle.
n
Advance the guidewire until it is slightly posterior to the anterior cortex of the
vertebral body.
n
Remove the Jamshidi needle.
n
A cannulated blunt dissector is passed over the guidewire into the vertebral
body.
n
The working cannula is passed over the blunt dissector, and becomes seated
just anterior to the posterior cortex (Figure 36-5).
n
Remove the blunt dissector.
n
A drill or solid stylet is used to create a channel in the vertebral body to accom-
modate the inflatable bone tamp. A vertebral body biopsy with the appropriate trephine may be obtained at this time.
n
The procedure is repeated on the contralateral side.
