OE Journal. 2013;1(19):36 Eur Spine J. 2013 Sep;22(9):2022-9100 patients suffering from degenerative lumbar disorders were randomized to evaluate the efficacy of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) against instrumented posterolateral fusion (PLF), over 2 years. Functional outcome, patient satisfaction, complication rates, and operative factors were each evaluated. The TLIF procedure was associated with a significantly greater operation time and increased blood loss, as well as displaying a trend towards more leg pain, when compared against the PLF group.

Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

لماذا كانت هناك حاجة لهذه الدراسة الآن؟
Spinal fusion is a commonly used treatment for patients with low back pain caused by degeneration, failed disc surgery, spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, as well as resistance to conservative treatment. However, there is conflicting evidence on whether the use of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) results in a lower morbidity rate compared to posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) and if it is as effective as the conventional method of treatment. This study was therefore needed to evaluate the efficacy of TLIF against PLF for functional outcome in patients with degenerative lumbar disorders.
ما هو سؤال البحث الرئيسي؟
Does transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) provide more effective results in treatment for degenerative lumbar disorders than posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) in terms of functional disability, pain, fusion rate, and complications, when assessed over a span of 2 years?
- Operation time (288 min in TLIF versus 171 min in the PLF; p< 0.001) and blood loss (775ml in the TLIF versus 443ml in the PLF; p= 0.001) were significantly higher in the TLIF group, but length of hospital stay remained comparable between groups (9.8 versus 9.3; p= 0.405)
- Both the TLIF and PLF groups significantly improved compared to baseline evaluations in terms of DPQ and the LBPRS, (both p< 0.05), but no significant differences between groups was apparent for any of the other outcome parameters measured at any time point (each p> 0.05)
- TLIF group patients demonstrated a trend towards developing more leg pain compared to the PLF group (p> 0.05), but was deemed insignificant; a subgroup analysis on diagnosis did not distinguish any substantial benefits associated with TLIF procedures (p> 0.05 for each)
- Fusion rate at 2 years was 94% in the TLIF compared against 88% in the PLF group (p= 0.31); 16 TLIF patients used opioids and 3 TLIF patients used antidepressants compared to 14 and 6 at 2 years in the PLF group (p> 0.05).
- Complication rate in the TLIF group was 14% (7 patients) compared against 6% (3 patients) in the PLF group (p= 0.205)
- 33 of 46 (72%) TLIF patients and 33 of 45 (73%) PLF (p= 0.87) rated overall satisfaction positively at 2 years
- Work status comparisons at 2 years after surgery between groups was insignificant (p= 0.6) with 23 patients working, 1 without work, 2 on sick leave, and 22 retired in the TLIF group, compared against 23 working, 2 on sick leave, and 27 retired in the PLF group
ما الذي يجب أن أتذكره أكثر؟
Transforaminal interbody fusion and instrumented posterolateral fusion provided similarly effective functional outcomes for lower back pain, when compared against baseline. However, the transforaminal interbody fusion group was found to have a significantly greater operation time and blood loss compared to the posterolateral fusion group. A trend towards more leg pain in the transforaminal interbody fusion group was also observed, but this was deemed insignificant.
كيف سيؤثر ذلك على رعاية مرضاي؟
Transforaminal interbody fusion and instrumented posterolateral fusion in treatment for degenerative provided equally effective results in terms of the Dallas Pain Questionnaire (DPQ) and the pain index from the low back pain rating scale (LBPRS).The transforaminal interbody fusion group patients was also observed to have a significantly greater operation time and blood loss compared to the posterolateral fusion group. Further studies are needed to evaluate the validity of the findings presented in this study.
