UpperInstrumentedVertebraforLongFusions
In general, forlong fusions, the authors’preference is to end at T10or above, because
instrumentation and fusions ending at T12 to L1 have been shown to have a higher
revisionrate,likelyrelatedtothehypermobilethoracolumbarregionasittransitionsfrom
an immobile thoracic spine to a mobile lumbar spine. There are also changes in facet
orientation from coronal to sagittal and changes in sagittal alignment from kyphosis to
lordosis.ExtendingtheUIVtoT10(levelwithtrueribs)orfurtherproximallycanprovide
relativeprotectiontotheadjacentsegmentwiththeincreasedstabilityprovidedbytherib
cage.Theribcagelengthensthetransversedimensionsofthespineandgivesthethoracic
spinegreaterresistancetobendingstressesinmultipleplanes.T11orT12doesnothave
costosternal articulations; hence, these levels lack the biomechanical advantage of the
upperlevels.
Inaddition,otherfactorsthatcouldaffectlong-termsurvivalofthatsegmentneedtobe
takenintoconsideration. Thesefactorsincludehealthyadjacentspinalsegments withno
degeneration or instability in any plane, and a UIV adjacent to spinal segments with
normalsagittal,coronal,andaxialalignmentandnear-neutralrotation.TheUIVshouldlie
withinthe“stablezone”definedbythecentersacralverticalline,beforesurgery,orcould
beplacedintothatzoneaftersurgery.
Currently,thereisnoconsensusstudyavailabletorecommendT10instrumentationin
all patients to improve long-term results. Disadvantages of the UIVabove T10 include
increasedriskofperioperativecomplications, andwithlongerinstrumentationacrossthe
thoracolumbarspinethere isalsoagreater riskofpseudarthrosis.Thus, therationalefor
stoppingat T10maynot beapplicablein allcases.Important decisionsonthe extentof
instrumentationandfusionshoulddependonthepositionoftheUIVinrelationshiptothe
globalspine.AnextensiontoT5orevenhigherwoulddependontheabilityofthelumbar
surgery to correct the sagittal imbalance. With control of more spinal segments, better
sagittalbalancemaybeachievedmoreeasily.
Ultimately,thesurgicalprocedureshouldbetailoredtoeachpatient’sneedsandbased
on the goal of achieving a well-balanced, stable, painless, and durable spine with the
fewestnumberoffusedsegmentswhilereducingtheriskofcomplicationsassociatedwith
large-scaleoperations.
LowerInstrumentedVertebraforLongFusions
For the lower instrumented vertebra (LIV), most long fusions will extend to the
sacropelvisorstopatL5.Inadolescentidiopathicscoliosis,itmaybepossibletostopat
L3orL4inalumbarcurve,butbecauseofstructuralchangesandafixedtiltfoundatthe
caudalspinalsegmentslikeL4-L5inadultdeformity,stoppingatamorecranialsegment
is generally not advised. Stopping at L5 enables retention of the lumbosacral motion,
avoidance of sacroiliac (SI) joint stress, decreased operative time and instrumentation
complications,andalowerpseudarthrosisrate.Pelvicfixationcanalsobeavoided.Onthe
otherhand,thisprocedureplacesalotofstressattheL5-S1disk,beingtheonlyresidual
mobilesegment,andthepatientneedstobewarnedoffuturebreakdownandtheneedfor
surgery to fuse this segment. In general, for many patients, the L5-S1 disk is already
degenerated,andinsuchcasesitisprobablybettertofusetothesacrum.Preservationof
theL5-S1diskenablessomepelvicmotion,whichmaybeimportantforsomefunctional
demandsofpatients,suchasridingabicycle.
Fusion tothe sacrumisrequired fordiskdegeneration atL5-S1, spondylolisthesis or
spinalstenosisatthe samesegment,aswellas obliquetake-offatL5-S1orinfractional
curvesgreaterthan15degrees.
22
Balancingisdifficultwithoutfusiondowntothesacrum
in cases of oblique take-off at L5-S1. In addition, the foramen is smaller on one side,
leadingtounilateralL5radiculopathy.Itisnotuncommontoseepatientswithforaminal,
central, or lateral recess stenosis at L5-S1. If stenosis is present at L5-S1 and more
extensivedecompressionisrequired,fusingdowntothesacrumisinevitable.Theobvious
disadvantages of fusion to the sacropelvis include increased operative time and more
extensive surgical dissectionto reach thesacrum. Anterior columnsupport may alsobe
required to reduce the rate of pseudarthrosis. Lost motion at L5-S1 may also alter the
patient’sgait.
Osteotomiesmayberequirediflessthan30%deformitycorrectioncanbeobtainedon
bendingradiographs.Thisisnotuncommonbecauseadultdeformitiesareusuallystiff.To
avoid overloading the instrumentation at the metal–bone interface, releases and
rebalancing would be required. There are two types of sagittal imbalance in adult
deformity.First,thespineisgloballybalancedbutasegmentalportionofspine isflator
kyphotic.Second,thereisglobalandsegmentalimbalance.Coronalimbalancecanalsobe
classifiedintotwotypeswiththeshouldersandpelvistiltedinoppositedirectionsorwith
tilting in the same direction. Posterior column osteotomies are the best choice for
segmental imbalanceof the spine. Aprerequisite would be mobiledisk spaces toallow
extensioncorrection.Ifthedisksarealreadydegeneratedandstiff,anteriorreleaseisalso
required.Ifthebonestockisinadequate,anteriorstructuralgraftscanbeusedtoimprove
fusion rates. For global imbalance, both Smith-Petersen and pedicle subtraction
osteotomiescanbeused.Typically,aSmith-Petersenosteotomyisindicatediftheweight-
bearing line falls within 3 cm of the sacrum, and a pedicle subtraction osteotomy is
reserved for cases with poor bone stock, and it can provide 30 degrees of lordotic
correction.Inpatientswith combinedcoronalandsagittalimbalance, pediclesubtraction
osteotomiesareaviableoptioniftheshouldersandpelvisaretiltedinthesamedirection,
butavertebralcolumnresectionisthebetteroptioniftheshouldersandpelvisaretiltedin
oppositedirections.
Anterior procedures are required only in rigid deformities that are not passively
correctable with posterior instrumentation. They are usually used only in combination
withposteriorinstrumentation, asinterbodyfusionsalone maynotbeable tocorrectthe
overall sagittal alignment.
23
 Anterior spinal fusion can further correct lumbar
hypokyphosis and imbalance, provide indirect decompression by foraminal distraction,
prevent posterior instrumentation failure by load sharing, and decrease the rate of
pseudarthrosis, which is especially common in smokers, diabetics, and osteoporotic
patients.
14
Complications
Adult deformity surgery is challenging, and there are many associated complications.
Reported complicationrates reach 80% for adultdeformity,with up to 58%of patients
requiringreoperation.
15,16
Thesedegenerativeconditionsusuallyoccurintheelderlywith
multiple comorbidities such as pulmonary and cardiac disease, osteoporosis, and
nutritionaldeficiency.Theseconditionsshould beproperlyoptimized priortosurgeryto
decrease perioperative risks. Any of the above comorbidities may affect the timing of
surgeryaswellasthescaleofsurgicalcorrection.
Deformitycorrectioncanindirectlydecompresstheneuralstructuresbyrodderotation,
cantileverreductionmaneuvers, andparticularlybyincreasing vertebraldiskheightwith
anteriorinterbodyfusion.Overdistractionontheconcavesidemayleadtolossoflumbar
lordosis.Toreducerigidcurves,posteriorcolumnosteotomiesatmultiplelevelsarelikely
required to mobilize the spinal segments. Fusions should avoid stopping at a level of
rotatorysubluxationtopreventaggravatingthesubluxation.
With limited instrumentation and fusion, degeneration may be accelerated in the
remainingcurveas aresult of adjacentsegment disease. Stoppingthe fusionwithinthe
deformity may provoke these adjacent segment problems. Stopping the fusion at the
thoracolumbarjunction alsoleadsto adjacentsegment diseasecranial tothe segmentof
fusion.FusiontoT10orabovemayavoidthis.However,someconsideradjacentsegment
degenerationunpreventableinfusionsurgeryasitcouldbeduetothenaturalage-related
progression of a degenerative process coupled with the postsurgical effect of spinal
stiffeningcreatedbyfusionorinstrumentationprocedures.
24,25
Proximaladjacent segmentdegeneration isdetected byprogressivenarrowing ofdisk
height, progressive decrease in lordosis or increase in kyphosis, osteophyte formation,
sclerosisofanadjacentendplate,ortranslationinthecoronalorsagittalplanes.Proximal
junctional problems such as adjacent segment degeneration, compression fracture, or
screw failure in the UIV occurs more frequently with fusions ending at T11 to L2 as
comparedwiththoseatT10orabove.
26
FortheLIV,dependingonfusion toL5 ortothesacrum,differentcomplicationsmay
occur,includingL5-S1diskdegeneration,lossofcurveandbalancecorrection,iliacscrew
implantproblems,andpseudarthrosis.Ifthefusionis stoppedatL5wherethere isfixed
sagittal imbalance and disk degeneration at L5-S1, the rate of disk degeneration will
further increase, leading to loss of sagittal profile correction and L5-S1
spondylolisthesis.
22
Inosteoporoticbone,fusiontoL5has ahighriskoffixationfailure,
astheL5pediclesaremostlycancellousandtherearetrajectoryproblemsinobtaininga
medialangleforplacingthepediclescrews.FailureofL5screwswithlooseningleadsto
kyphosis or hypolordosis of the L4-L5segment.L4-L5 kyphosis may be tolerated in a
shortfusion,butwithlongerfusionsthedegreeofsagittalimbalancebecomesanissue.
FusionstothesacrumshouldbereservedforL5-S1spondylolisthesis,stenosis,oblique
take-off,moderate orsevereL5-S1 degeneration,and priorlaminectomy.Problemswith
long fusions to the sacrum include higher complication rates due to a large-scale
operation, risk of sacroiliac joint degeneration, altered gait mechanics and increased
pseudarthrosis.Instrumentationcomplicationsfortheselongfusionsincludebreakageand
back-outorlooseningofscrews.Toavoidthis,S1screwsshouldbebicorticalthroughthe
promontoryanteriorly.S1screwsshouldalsobedirectedmediallytoavoidpenetratingthe
L5nerveroot.BonegraftinganteriortoL5-S1andiliacscrewsmayfurtherprotecttheS1
fixation.ToimprovetheL5-S1fixation,distalhooks,iliacscrews,andinterbodycagesfor
anteriorcolumn supportare alsooptions. Hooksare analternative fixationespecially in
osteoporoticbonebutmaycausestenoticproblemsatL5-S1.
Iliacscrewsentailtheriskofpullout
27
andareusuallymoreprominent.Screwsshould
beburied ifpossible,but, inthinpatients, removalmaybe requiredandshould bedone
around 2 years after fixation. Technically, iliac screws are more difficult to insert with
previousposterioriliacboneharvesting.Thereisalsoahigherpseudarthrosisrateat L5-
S1, but this may be salvaged by revision surgerywithanterior reconstruction and iliac
fixationaswellasusingbonemorphogeneticproteintoimprovefusionrates.Thelowest
pseudarthrosisrateofL5-S1fusionsisassociatedwithcompletesacro-pelvicfixationand
surgeryinpatientsyoungerthan55yearsofage.

ChapterSummary
Inadultdeformity,thereisdifficultyinmatchingapatient’ssymptomsandconcernswith
the surgical plan. Clinicians must weigh potential gains and risks, and all surgical
decisionsshouldbeindividuallytailoredtothepatient.Comorbiditiesshouldbeaddressed
priortosurgerytoavoidperioperativecomplications.Usually,thesurgicaloptionsinclude
decompression alone, decompression with limited arthrodesis, and deformity correction
withlongfusion(Table2.1).Decompressionsurgeryisreservedforpatientswithlegpain
butminimalornobackpain,scoliosisCobbangleslessthan30degrees,lessthan2mmof
subluxation,nothoracichyperkyphosis,andacceptablecoronalandsagittalbalance,orif
theyhavea poorpremorbidstate.For shortfusions,patientsshould havescoliosisCobb
angleslessthan30degrees,segmentalinstability(morethan2mmoflateralsubluxation),
backandlegpain,nosignificantimbalanceissues,and,ifdestabilizing,decompressionis
requiredfor adequatereliefof spinalstenosis andnerveroot compression.Long fusions
are reserved for scoliosis Cobb angles greater than 45 degrees, more than 2 mm of
subluxation, and coronal and sagittal imbalance. To avoid complications related to
instrumentation, fusion should not end at a level with junctional kyphosis or
spondylolisthesis,posteriorcolumn deficiency,a rotated segment,a level atthe apex of
the deformity, or a degenerated level. Levels of rotatory subluxation must be included
within the fusion block. For balance, the most horizontal vertebra should be the UIV.
ExtensionofthefusiontoT10providestheincreasedstabilityofferedbytheribcage.The
LIVat L5isonly feasiblewith anormal L5-S1disk,and nospondylolisthesis orspinal
stenosisorobliquetake-offatL5-S1.Fusionstothesacrumshouldbeavoidedifpossible
toavoidiliacscrew implantproblems,pseudarthrosis,sacroiliacjointproblems,and gait
disturbances, but is usually mandatory for long-standing sagittal and or coronal
imbalances.
Pearls
Allsurgicaldecisionsfordegenerativescoliosisshouldbeindividuallytailoredtothepatient.
Decompressionsurgeryisreservedforpatientswithlegpain,minimalornobackpain,scoliosisCobbanglesless
than 30 degrees, less than 2 mm of subluxation, no thoracic hyperkyphosis, acceptable coronal and sagittal
balance,orthosewithpoorpremorbidstate.
ShortfusionsareforscoliosisCobbangleslessthan30degrees,segmentalinstability,backandlegpain,andno
significantimbalanceissues.
LongfusionsareforscoliosisCobbanglesgreaterthan45degrees,morethan2mmofsubluxation,andcoronal
andsagittalimbalance.
ExtensionofthefusiontoT10providesincreasedstabilityofferedbytheribcage.
ThemosthorizontalvertebrashouldbetheUIV.
Pitfalls
Fusion should notendat a levelwithjunctional kyphosis or spondylolisthesis,posteriorcolumn deficiency,a
rotatedsegment,attheapexofthedeformity,oradegeneratedlevel.
AvoidtheLIVendingatL5withanabnormalL5-S1disk,spondylolisthesis,spinalstenosis,orobliquetake-off
atL5-S1.
Fusionstothesacrumshouldbeavoided if possible due to the increased riskofiliacscrewimplantproblems,
pseudarthrosis,sacroiliacjointproblems,andgaitdisturbances.
