05-JUNE-2014  BAHIYE ZAYDAN DAYEH  62 YEARS SPONDYLOLISTHESIS L5-S1 WITH STENOSIS L4-5 AND STRUCTURAL SCOLIOSIS LUMBAR SPINE.

 

Anamnesis

bullet

The patient came to the clinic 11-May-2014 complaining of LBP with bilateral sciatica for 5 years  for what she was operated in Huston USA in September-2013. The patient claim that she got drop right foot after surgery and she did improve for numbness, but the LBP and bilateral sciatica persisted and increased and the difficulty to walk became more evident.

bullet

On examination; The patient is limping with exaggerated scoliotic stance. SLRS was 90 degrees in both sides without pain. There is drop right foot with planterflexion same foot 4/5, weak dorsiflexion left foot 3/5. Hypalgesia L5 root right side.

bullet

MRI lumbar spine done the same day with contrast, showing spondylolisthesis L5-S1 grade II with foraminal stenosis right L4-5. CT-scan and dynamic studies showed bone graft at the lateral areas of L5-S1 with presence of instability.

bullet

Neurolysis of the right L5, S1 roots was performed after exposing all the lateral masses of L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 and upper sacrum. During neurolysis of the right L5 root a 1 mm tear of the scar was noticed and repaired by 4 zero nylon. The nerves were studied using Inomed ISIS system and the right L5 root was responding occasionally to 4 mA current DNS. The right S1 root was responding well to 2mA DNS, which means severe damage to the right L5 root. The bone graft used at first surgery was mobile and with pseudojoints. Using Stryker Xia 2 system, 4 monoaxial 6.5x45 mm length were inserted to L4 and L4. 4 ployaxial 6.5x40 mm were inserted to L5 and S1 segments. Bended rods were applied and slight distraction in the left aside between L5-S1 was applied. Distraction of all segments in the right side to eliminate the scoliotic curve. Cross connector was applied. Routine closure of the wound. All stages of surgery were done using C-arm control.

bullet

Smooth postoperative recovery. The power of left foot became better.

 

Comments  

bullet

The patient has several problems, most of them could be corrected surgically. The exposed severely damaged right L5 root is not among them. All other problem were taken to consideration and corrected surgically.
