Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative complication prediction helps surgeons to inform and manage patient expectations. Deep learning, a model that finds patterns in large samples of data, outperform traditional statistical methods in making predictions. This study aimed to create a deep learning-based model (DLM) to predict postoperative complications in patients with cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). METHODS This prospective multicenter study was conducted by the 28 institutions, and 478 patients were included in the analysis. Deep learning was used to create two predictive models of the overall postoperative complications and neurological complications, one of the major complications. These models were constructed by learning the patient's preoperative background, clinical symptoms, surgical procedures, and imaging findings. These logistic regression models were also created, and these accuracies were compared with those of the DLM. RESULTS Overall complications were observed in 127 cases (26.6%). The accuracy of the DLM was 74.6 ± 3.7% for predicting the overall occurrence of complications, which was comparable to that of the logistic regression (74.1%). Neurological complications were observed in 48 cases (10.0%), and the accuracy of the DLM was 91.7 ± 3.5%, which was higher than that of the logistic regression (90.1%). CONCLUSION A new algorithm using deep learning was able to predict complications after cervical OPLL surgery. This model was well calibrated, with prediction accuracy comparable to that of regression models. The accuracy remained high even for predicting only neurological complications, for which the case number is limited compared to conventional statistical methods.

Biomechanical effects of different lateral mass injury patterns on subaxial cervical fracture dislocations after anterior cervical surgery: a finite element study. Am J Transl Res 2022; 14:5965-5981. [PMID: 36247298 PMCID: PMC9556464] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The lateral mass joint plays an important role in maintaining the mechanical stability of the subaxial cervical spine. We first performed a three-dimensional finite element (FE) biomechanical study to evaluate the local mechanical stability of subaxial cervical fracture dislocations after anterior-only fixation for lateral mass injuries of varying severity. METHODS A three-dimensional FE model of the subaxial cervical spine with simple anterior fixation for C5-6 fracture dislocation was reconstructed. According to their different morphological characteristics of unilateral lateral mass injuries, the lateral mass injury was divided into six types. The range of motion (ROM) of each part and the stress of the cage, each intervertebral disc, titanium plate, and screw stress were recorded. RESULTS The ROM of C3-4, C4-5, C5-6, and C6-7 in type 4 was higher than that of the other five types. The maximum equivalent stress on C4-5 intervertebral discs, titanium plates, and screws in type 4 under various sports loads was higher than that produced by the other load types. In the stress cloud diagram of the front titanium plate and screws, the degree of stress was the highest in type 4. Stress placed on each part of the model, from high to low, was as follows: plate, screw, C6, C5, and C7. CONCLUSION Greater injury severity is associated with higher stress on the plate and screw with exercise loads. Type 4 lateral mass injuries, characterized by ipsilateral pedicle and lamina junction fractures, significantly affected biomechanical stability after simple anterior fixation.

Spine Surg Relat Res 2022; 6:645-653. [PMID: 36561159 PMCID: PMC9747217 DOI: 10.22603/ssrr.2022-0076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Posterior cervical spine approaches have been associated with increased rates of wound complications compared to anterior approaches. While barbed suture wound closure for lumbar spine surgery has been shown to be safe and efficacious, there is no literature regarding its use in posterior cervical spine surgery. In a cohort of patients undergoing elective posterior cervical spine surgery, we sought to compare postoperative complication rates between barbed and traditional interrupted suture closure. Methods A retrospective review of demographics, past medical history, and operative and postoperative variables collected from a prospective registry between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2020 was undertaken. All patients 18 years old and above undergoing elective posterior cervical fusion were included. The primary outcome of interest was wound complications, including surgical site infection (SSI), dehiscence, or hematoma. In addition, numerical rating scale (NRS) neck pain (NP), NRS arm pain (AP), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and operative time were collected. A variety of statistical tests were used to compare the two suture groups. Results Of 117 patients undergoing posterior cervical fusion, 89 (76%) were closed with interrupted suture and 28 (24%) with barbed suture. The interrupted cohort were more likely to have >1 comorbidity (p<0.001), diabetes mellitus (p=0.013), and coronary artery disease (p=0.002). No difference in postoperative wound complications between interrupted/barbed sutures was observed after univariate (OR 1.07, 95% CI: 0.27-4.25, p=0.927) and multivariable logistic regression analysis (OR 0.77, 95% CI: 0.15-4.00, p=0.756). Univariate logistic regression revealed no differences in achieving minimal clinically important difference (MCID) NRS-NP (OR 0.73, 95% CI: 0.28-1.88, p=0.508) or NRS-AP (OR 0.68, 95% CI: 0.25-1.90, p=0.464) at 3 months between suture groups. The interrupted suture group was less likely to achieve MCID NDI at 3 months (OR 0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.80, p=0.016). Conclusions Barbed suture closure in posterior cervical spine surgery does not lead to higher rates of postoperative wound complications/SSI compared to traditional interrupted fascial closure.
