BACKGROUND: The association of various morphological features of facet diastasis with posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) injury has not been previously described. This study aims to determine the diagnostic value of facet diastasis subtypes for diagnosing thoracolumbar PLC injury.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 337 consecutive patients with acute thoracolumbar fractures who had computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 10 days of injury. Three and 5 reviewers evaluated MRI and CT images, respectively. Facet diastasis was subclassified as follows: Dislocated, no articular surface apposition; subluxed, incomplete articular surface apposition; and facet fracture articular process fractures which may be displaced ≥2 mm or otherwise undisplaced, facet joint widening (FJW) ≥ 3 mm. We examined the diagnostic accuracy and the multivariate associations of facet diastasis subtypes with PLC injury in MRI.
RESULTS: Facet dislocation, subluxation, and displaced facet fracture yielded a high positive predictive value (PPV) for PLC injury (96%, 88%, and 94%, respectively). In contrast, undisplaced facet fracture and FJW yielded a moderate PPV for PLC injury (78%, and 45%, respectively). Facet dislocation, subluxation, and displaced facet fracture showed independent associations with PLC injury (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 38.4, 17.1, 13.4, respectively; P < 0.05). Undisplaced facet fracture and FJW were not associated with PLC injury (AOR = 3.9 [95% confidence interval, 0.49-38.4], P = 0.20) and (AOR = 1.94 [95% confidence interval, 0.48-7.13]; P = 0.20; P = 0.33), respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Facet dislocation, subluxation, and displaced facet fracture, but not undisplaced facet fracture or FJW, were independently associated with PLC injury. Therefore, we propose to define facet diastasis as a surrogate marker of PLC injury in MRI based on these morphologies.
