For these patients, surgical correction and osteotomies are often required. Severe and rigid cervicothoracic kyphosis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis can cause pain, myelopathy, radiculopathy, marked limitation of horizontal gaze or upright posture, swallowing dysfunction leading to aspiration, as well as social impairment. The modified PSO is a safe and valid alternative to the classic PSO, allowing for excellent correction of cervical kyphosis and improvement in health-related quality-of-life measures. No major complications occurred, and no implant failures were noted until the latest follow up. In the case series, radiographic parameters and health-related quality-of-life measures were found to show significant postoperative improvement in all patients. In this morphometric study, a modified PSO was performed on 87 patients (59 male and 28 female) with a reasonable ratio of 72.5%. The outcomes were analyzed through various measures, which included the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and a visual analog scale for neck pain. Preoperative and postoperative chin-brow vertical angle (CBVA), sagittal vertical axis (SVA) and sagittal Cobb angle of the cervical region were reviewed. The mean follow up was 32.9 months (range 21–54 months). Seven patients with cervicothoracic kyphosis who underwent a modified PSO at C7 between May 2009 and June 2015 were retrospectively evaluated. Simulated osteotomy was performed by setting the apex of the wedge osteotomy at different points, and morphologic measurements were obtained. The scans were taken parallel to the middle sagittal plane and the sagittal plane intersecting the pedicles. MethodsĪ total of 120 cervical spine computed tomography (CT) scans (of 82 male and 38 female patients) were evaluated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the modified pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) technique at C7 to be used for the treatment of cervicothoracic kyphosis secondary to ankylosing spondylitis. We are proud to support this product that has been Made in the USA.Osteotomies in the cervical spine are technically challenging.
