Purpose

To review the outcome of multilevel (≥4) instrumented lumbar fusion to sacrum / pelvis performed for degenerative conditions

Methods

Clinical data of 47 consecutive patients from 2002 to 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Inclusion criteria included fusion from at least L2 to S1 / pelvis, i.e. minimum of 4 levels. Imaging was assessed for restoration of normal sagittal profile as well as subsequent fusion. EQ5D, OSD and VAS scores pre-op and at 6 months post op were analysed. Average age at surgery was 64 years (50–78). Thirteen cases were primary and 34 revisions. Indications were axial back pain either associated with sagittal imbalance (40%) or leg pain (36%) and leg pain alone in 10%.
