Abstract

Aim: The aim is to report our surgical results and techniques andto establish a common classification system for lumbar foraminalosteophytes.Methods: Thirty-six patients who underwent surgery at our institutionwere included. Because of the presence of radicular pain in thesepatients, after magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography(CT) of the lumbar spine was performed to confirm foraminal stenosis.Osteophytes were classified using CT images in patients with findingsof foraminal stenosis related to osteophyte formation. Preoperativeand postoperative visual analouge scale scores for leg pain werecompared.Results: Statistical analysis revealed significant improvementsafter surgical treatment. Osteophytes in the lumbar foramina wereexamined and classified as grades 1 to 4. A treatment algorithm forosteophyte-related radiculopathy was established.Conclusion: Foraminal osteophytes induce radiculopathy indegenerative spine disease and have a high incidence. If there areradicular findings in degenerative lumbar diseases and problems at theforaminal level, then the size of the foramen and grade of osteophytesshould be evaluated with lumbar CT. Surgical treatment can achievesignificant results.

Özet

Amaç: Amaç lomber foraminal osteofitlerde cerrahi sonuçları ve tekniği paylaşıp, ortak bir sınıflama oluşturmak ve tedavi algoritması belirlemektir. Yöntemler: Opere ettiğimiz 36 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Radiküler ağrıları olan ve lomber manyetik rezonans görüntülemede foraminal stenozu olan hastalara lomber bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) çekimi yapıldı. Osteofit formasyonuna bağlı foraminal stenozu olan ve tarafımızca buna bağlı olarak ameliyat edilen hastalarda BT görüntüleri kullanılarak belirli kriterlere göre osteofitler sınıflandırıldı. Preoperatif ve postoperatif bacak visual analog skala değerleri karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: İstatistiksel analizde cerrahi sonrasında anlamlı iyileşme gözlendi. Ameliyat ettiğimiz hastalarda lomber foramendeki osteofitler belirli kriterlere göre sınıflandırıldı. Sınıflama grade 1’den grade 4’e kadar düzenlendi. Radikülopati nedeni olan osteofitler için bir tedavi algoritması düzenlendi. Sonuç: Foraminal osteofitler dejeneratif omurgada radikülopati nedenidir ve önemli oranda görülürler. Dejeneratif lomber omurgada eğer radiküler bulgular var ise ve foramen seviyesinde problem görülüyor ise lomber forameni değerlendirmek ve osteofit derecesini görmek için lomber BT gerekecektir. Cerrahi tedaviler önemli sonuçlara ulaşabilmektedir.
