TY - THES A1 - Bauer, Steffen T1 - Kombinierte Versorgung osteoporotischer Kompressionsfrakturen mit dorsaler Instrumentierung und Ballonkyphoplastie des betroffenen Wirbelkörpers – Vergleich von konventioneller offener und minimalinvasiver Operationstechnik T1 - Posterior instrumentation combined with kyphoplasty for the treatment of osteoporotic fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine - Comparison between minimal invasive and classic open procedure N2 - In dieser Studie wurden Daten zur minimalinvasiven dorsalen Versorgung instabiler Frakturen der thorakolumbalen Wirbelsäule in Kombination mit Kyphoplastie erhoben. Das Patientenkollektiv umfasst 64 Patienten, welche im Zeitraum von 6/2009 bis 5/2011 an 67 Frakturen versorgt wurden. Das Durchschnittsalter bei Operation betrug 71,3 ± 8,9 Jahre. Es wurden hierzu die mono- und bisegmentalen Grund-Deckplatten-Winkel präoperativ, postoperativ sowie an drei Nachuntersuchungszeitpunkten (6w, 3–6m, >9m) bestimmt. Weiterhin wurden mittels der Visuellen-Analog-Skala die Beschwerden vor dem Unfall und unmittelbar vor der Operation retrospektiv erhoben. Das funktionelle Ergebnis wurde am dritten Nachuntersuchungszeitpunkt mittels der VAS-Pain und des VAS-Wirbelsäulenscores der Arbeitsgemeinschaft „Wirbelsäule“ der DGU ermittelt. Außerdem wurde nach einer regelmäßigen Schmerzmitteleinnahme zu den Zeitpunkten „vor dem Unfall“, „direkt nach dem Unfall“ und „zurzeit“ gefragt. Es konnten in anderen Studien schon einige Vorteile der minimalinvasiven dorsalen Stabilisierung hinsichtlich eines geringeren Blutverlustes, eines geringeren Gewebetraumas mit weniger postoperativer Schmerzen, einer besseren postoperativen Muskelfunktion, eines besseren kosmetischen Ergebnisses, schnellerer Mobilisierung sowie geringeren operativen Komplikationen gezeigt werden. Bisher gibt es aber keine Langzeitdaten, welche die funktionellen Ergebnisse und die Wiederaufrichtung oder den Korrekturverlust einer minimalinvasiven dorsalen Instrumentierung mit zeitgleicher Kyphoplastie von traumatischen Frakturen der thorakalen und lumbalen Wirbelsäule beschreiben. Hierbei konnten zu einem offen operierten Vergleichskollektiv keine signifikanten Unterschiede bzgl. der Wiederaufrichtung (5.2 ± 5.2 Grad perkutan vs. 6.4 ± 3.3 Grad offen, GDW bisegmental ermittelt) und des Korrekturverlustes des Grund-Deckplatten-Winkels gefunden werden (5.2 ± 5.6 Grad perkutan vs. 6.1 ± 2.4 Grad offen bei 3. NU, GDW bisegmental ermittelt). Signifikante Unterschiede ergaben sich aber bei den funktionellen Ergebnissen (VAS-Wirbelsäulenscore der Arbeitsgemeinschaft „Wirbelsäule“ der DGU) zugunsten des minimalinvasiv versorgten Kollektivs zum Zeitpunkt der dritten Nachuntersuchung. N2 - Between 06/2009 and 05/2011 a total of 64 patients (age ⌀ 71.3 ± 8.9 y) with 67 instrumented fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine have been included in this study. A combination of kyphoplasty and minimal invasive posterior instrumentation was carried out in all cases. The mono- and/or bisegmental endplate angle were measured preop., immediately postop., after 6w, 3-6m and >9m. The pain visual analogue scale (pain VAS) and regular analgesia requirement were determined pre- and postop., the VAS spine score, pain VAS and regular analgesia requirement also >9m. A lot of advantages of the minimal invasive posterior instrumentation have been reported in previous studies (reduction of blood loss, faster rehabilitation, less muscle atrophy, less postoperative pain, better cosmetic results) but there are no long term results concerning the functional outcome, the restoration of the sagittal profile and the loss of correction. There was no significant difference between this group (kyphoplasty + minimal invasive posterior instrumentation) in comparison to a kyphoplasty + classic open procedure group in the aspects of radiographic results. The average correction of the sagittal profile was 5.2 ± 5.2° (open procedure: 6.4 ± 3.3°). The mean loss of correction was 5.2 ± 5.6° after >9m (open procedure: 6.1 ± 2.4°). However, the minimally invasive group was found to have a significantly better functional outcome after > 9m (VAS spine score: minimal invasive 74.2 ± 19.5 vs. open procedure 57.9 ± 7.9).

Ultrahigh field magnetic resonance imaging (UHF-MRI) at 7 T field strength is becoming increasingly available for imaging of the heart and, when compared to clinically established field strengths, promises better image quality and image information content, more precise functional analysis, potentially new image contrasts, and as all in-vivo imaging techniques, a reduction of the number of animals per study because of the possibility to scan every animal repeatedly. We present here a solution to the dual use problem of whole-body UHF-MRI systems, which are typically installed in clinical environments, to both UHF-MRI in large animals and humans. Moreover, we provide evidence that in such a research infrastructure UHF-MRI, and ideally combined with a standard small-bore UHF-MRI system, can contribute to a variety of spatial scales in translational cardiovascular research: from cardiac organoids, Zebra fish and rodent hearts to large animal models such as pigs and humans. We present pilot data from serial CINE, late gadolinium enhancement, and susceptibility weighted UHF-MRI in a myocardial infarction model over eight weeks. In 14 pigs which were delivered from a breeding facility in a national SARS-CoV-2 hotspot, we found no infection in the incoming pigs. Human scanning using CINE and phase contrast flow measurements provided good image quality of the left and right ventricle. Agreement of functional analysis between CINE and phase contrast MRI was excellent. MRI in arrested hearts or excised vascular tissue for MRI-based histologic imaging, structural imaging of myofiber and vascular smooth muscle cell architecture using high-resolution diffusion tensor imaging, and UHF-MRI for monitoring free radicals as a surrogate for MRI of reactive oxygen species in studies of oxidative stress are demonstrated. We conclude that UHF-MRI has the potential to become an important precision imaging modality in translational cardiovascular research.
