description | STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review of a single institution. OBJECTIVE: To determine if resting leg pain level is a predictor of success for indirect decompression in the setting of lumbar spinal stenosis, with lower levels of rest pain correlating with greater likelihood of successful indirect decompression. METHODS: Reviewed anterior or lateral lumbar interbody fusions from T12 to L5-S1 patients with a posterior-based pedicle screw-rod construct. Patients were separated into 2 groups based on a preoperative response to Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) Question 7 regarding level of pain at rest in the supine position. Responses of 0 to 2 (minimal rest pain) were group 1 (n = 54) and responses of 3 to 5 (significant rest pain) were group 2 (n = 16). RESULTS: Preoperative difference was detected between groups 1 and 2, in ODI (38 vs 63, P < .001) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) back (6.8 vs 7.9, P = .023). Three-month NRS leg and back scores were significantly lower in group 1 (leg, 1.9 vs 4.8, P < .001; back, 3.5 vs 6.4, P = .001). A significant difference was further noted in the percentage decrease in NRS leg and back scores from pre- to 3 months postoperatively between groups 1 and 2 (leg, 68.4% vs 22.7%, P < .001; back, 40.0% vs 7.4%, P = .012). Group 1 reached minimal clinically important difference for leg pain more often than group 2 (83.3% vs 43.8%, P = .001). CONCLUSION: Preoperative assessment of rest pain level in the supine position has a significant association with reduction in NRS leg and back scores in patients undergoing indirect decompression for lumbar spinal stenosis. This tool may successfully indicate which patients will be candidates for indirect decompression with interbody fusion from an anterior or lateral approach. |
