STUDY DESIGN: Prospective clinical series.
OBJECTIVE: To determine how many thoracic scoliotic pedicles have cancellous versus cortical versus absent channels.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Although morphologic evaluations of thoracic pedicles have been well reported, the results do not practically reflect clinical findings during actual pedicle screw placement. We propose a novel pedicle channel classification describing the osseous anatomy encountered during pedicle probe insertion.
METHODS: We noted 4 pedicle types in 53 consecutive scoliosis patients. Type A: pedicle probe smoothly inserted without difficulty; the morphology is described as a "Large Cancellous Channel." Type B: pedicle probe inserted snugly with increased force; described as a "Small Cancellous Channel." Type C: pedicle probe cannot be manually pushed but must be tapped with a mallet down the pedicle into the body; described as a "Cortical Channel." Type D: pedicle probe cannot locate a channel thus necessitating a "juxtapedicular" screw position; described as a "Slit/Absent Channel." The average age at time of surgery was 23.4 ± 16.7 years. Diagnoses included idiopathic scoliosis (n = 38) and syndromic scoliosis (n = 15). The average main thoracic Cobb angle was 73° ± 26°. Evaluation of pedicle morphology of the 4 types was also performed in 21 consecutive cases of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis using preoperative computed tomography images.
RESULTS: A total of 1021 pedicles with screws placed were evaluated. The average percent per type was as follows: 61.0% type A; 29.2% type B, 6.8% type C, and 3.0% type D. On the convexity, 98.2% of pedicles were type A or B versus 81.5% on the concavity (P < 0.05). There were significant differences between adolescent versus adult idiopathic scoliosis (P = 0.007), and syndromic scoliosis versus adult idiopathic scoliosis (P = 0.017) regarding pedicle morphologic proportions. There was a significant tendency toward a decrease in the proportion of type A pedicles, an increase in the proportion of type B pedicles as the Cobb angle increased (P < 0.0001). Evaluation based on 312 thoracic pedicles in 21 consecutive adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients using preoperative computed tomography axial images confirmed assumptions of the 4 pedicle types.
CONCLUSION: We propose a classification for pedicle channels describing the osseous anatomy encountered during pedicle probe insertion. Based on the classification, surprisingly, we found during surgery that 90% of thoracic pedicles had a cancellous channel, whereas 7% had a cortical channel and only 3% had an absent channel.
