摘要
目的分析棘突间撑开器Coflex和X—STOP在治疗腰椎管狭窄中的不同生物力学特性,为棘突问植入物的设计改进提供参考。方法依据1名正常志愿者中立位下螺旋cT扫描资料构建L2~5健康腰椎有限元模型、IA/5椎间盘轻度退变有限元模型、棘突撑开器X—STOP和Coflex的动态固定模型,并对4组模型分别模拟前屈、后伸、侧弯和轴向旋转,验证和对比分析活动度(rangeofmotion,ROM)的变化和应力在棘突和撑开器上的分布。结果与退变模型相比,Coflex和X—STOP有效限制退变节段后伸ROM-48.12%和-75.35%,Coflex还能限制前屈ROM-59.58%,侧弯和扭转ROM不受限制。Coflex和X—STOP减少椎间盘后伸时应力达-58.03%和-80.75%,Coflex在前屈时应力减少-52.84%。侧弯和扭转的ROM基本不受影响。Coflex最大应力发生在前届时U型弯处,X—STOP最大应力出现在扭转时左翼螺钉连接处。Coflex与腰椎接触最大应力发生在扭转时,为31.38MPa。X—STOP与腰椎接触最大应力发生在侧弯时,为46.86MPa。结论Coflex和X-STOP是治疗腰椎管狭窄的有效方法,均可以显著降低后伸ROM和椎间盘压力,对相邻节段无明显影响。
Objective To analyze different biomechanical properties between Coflex and X-STOP device in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), and provide references for design improvement of interspinous process spacer. Methods Four finite element models, i. e., the 1.2-5 healthy segment model, the mild degener- ated L4/5 segment model, the X-STOP-fixed 1_4/5 segment model, the Coflex-fixed L4/5 segment model, were constructed based on the normal lumbar CT images of a volunteer, and the models under flexion, extension, lat- eral bending and axial rotation were simulated to compare range of motion (ROM) changes and stress distribu- tions on the spinous process and interspinous process spacer. Results X-STOP and Coflex decreased extension ROM by -48.12% and -75.35%, respectively, and released disc pressure by -58.03% and -80.75%, re- spectively. Coflex even restricted flexion ROM by -59.58% and reduced flexion disc pressure by -52.84%. No distinct changes appeared in lateral bending and axial rotation ROMs and disc pressure. The largest Von Mises stress appeared at the U-shape place during flexion in Coflex and at connection between left wing and screw dur- ing torsion in X-STOP, respectively. The largest contact pressure between Coflex and spinous process was 31.38 MPa during bending, and that between X-STOP and spinous process was 46.86 MPa during torsion. Con-clusions Both X-STOP and Coflex are an effective treatment for LSS, and can effectively restrict the ROM of ex- tension and reduce the disc pressure, without affecting the adjacent segments.
