Clinical and imaging follow-up were performed at routine intervals over 4 years of follow-up. Main outcomes included reoperations at the treated lumbar level, leg pain scores on a visual analog scale, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores from the SF-36 questionnaire.Results: Among 550 patients (ACD 272, Control 278), the risk of reoperation over 4 years was 14.4% with ACD and 21.1% with Controls (P=0.03). The reduction in reoperation risk with ACD was not significantly influenced by patient age (P=0.51), sex (P=0.34), body mass index (P=0.21), smoking status (P=0.85), level of herniation (P=0.26), leg pain severity at baseline (P=0.90), or ODI at baseline (P=0.54). All patient-reported outcomes improved in each group from baseline to 4 years (all P<0.001). The percentage of patients who achieved the minimal clinically important difference without a reoperation was proportionally higher in the ACD group compared to Controls for leg pain (P=0.07), ODI (P=0.10), PCS (P=0.02), and MCS (P=0.06).Conclusion: The addition of a bone-anchored ACD following lumbar discectomy in patients with large post-surgical annular defects reduces the risk of reoperation and provides better long-term pain and disability relief over 4 years compared to lumbar discectomy only.Keywords: annular closure device, annulus fibrosus, disc herniation, lumbar discectomy, randomized controlled trial, reoperation, sciaticaNanda DArts MPMiller LEKöhler HPPerrin JMFlüh CVajkoczy PDove Medical Pressarticleannular closure deviceannulus fibrosusdisc herniationlumbar discectomyrandomized controlled trialreoperationsciaticaMedical technologyR855-855.5ENMedical Devices: Evidence and Research, Vol Volume 12, Pp 327-335 (2019) |
