Abstract

Ankylosing spondylitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of sacroiliac joint and spinal attachment point. It is strongly associated with HLA-B27. About 30% of patients will develope kyphosis. It not only causes severe kyphosis, restricted mobility, ugly appearance, and human head-up disorder, but also severe kyphosis causes sleep difficulties, compression of the chest and abdominal organs, and abdominal muscles. Contractures lead to disorders of the digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract and superior mesenteric artery syndrome, and even more serious psychological disorders, and even loss of confidence in life. The most effective treatment for ankylosing spondylitis kyphosis is spinal orthopedics. We report a 38-year-old male patient who was hospitalized with ankylosing spondylitis and kyphosis due to low back pain and activity limitation for 20 years, and progressive aggravation of his kyphosis for 10 years. The measurement of preoperative imaging parameters indicated: Pelvic Incidence (PI) = 61°, Pelvic Tilt (PT) = 64°, Sacral Slope (SS) = -3°, Lumbar Lordosis (LL) = -25°, Thoracolumbar Junction (TLJ) = 45°, Thoracic Kyphosis (TK) = 65°, Chin-Brow Vertical Angle (CBVB) = 60°. With adequate preoperative planning and discussion, we performed a two-level pedicle subtraction osteotomy, which requires comprehensive perioperative care and more refined intraoperative manipulation. The postoperative patient was 169cm, the height increased by 32cm, postoperative parameter measurement, PI = 60°, PT = 38°, SS = 22°, LL = 52°, TLJ = 15°, TK = 19°, CBVB = 13°. After the operation, the patient recovered well, the treatment effect was satisfactory, and the quality of life was significantly improved. Two-level pedicle subtraction osteotomy is a high-risk and high-demand operation that needs to be performed by an experienced spinal surgery team.
