Abstract Objective To explore the key parameters of the sagittal plane of the spinal pelvis after transforaminal endoscopic discectomy in treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation and clarify the relationship between different Roussouly classifications of the lumbar and recurrence of transforaminal endoscopic discectomy in treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation.Methods The data of patients with lumbar disc herniation treated by transforaminal endoscopic discectomy from January 2015 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients of recurrence were included in the experimental group(32 cases),among them,there were 18 males and 14 females.The patients were 36~51 years old with an average age of(41.2±9.8).There were 21 cases of L4~5 and 11 cases of L5S1.Randomly selected patients without recurrence after operation were included in a control group(32 cases).Among them,there were 17 males and 15 females.The patients were 35~54 years old with an average age of(46.3±10.6).There were 21 cases of L4~5,11 cases of L5S1.In standing position on the whole spine before operation,divide the sagittal curve of the lumbar spine into four types according to the position of the apex of the lumbar spine(Roussouly classification).Type Ⅰ:the apex is in the L5 vertebral body or L4~5 intervertebral space.Type Ⅱ:the apex is at the bottom or middle of L4.Type Ⅲ:the apex is in the upper L4 or L3~4 intervertebral space.Type Ⅳ:the apex is located at and above the L3 vertebral body.The lumbar lordosis angle(LL),pelvic incidence angle(PI),pelvic tilt angle(PT),and sacral tilt angle(SS) were measured,compare the imaging index and Roussouly classification between the two groups.Results Experimental group PI was (31.5±3.3)°,PT was (11.7±2.7)°,SS was (25.1±4.2)° and LL was (31.6±2.5)°,all were significantly lower than the control group (44.0±5.6)°,(15.1±3.8)°,(28.2±3.2)° and (50.3±3.3)°(P<0.05).The proportions of type Ⅰ,type Ⅱ,type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ in the experimental group were 50%,40.6%,0 and 9.4%,in the control group,they were 12.5%,15.6%,40.6%,and31.3%,respectively.among them:the type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group,(P<0.05),the type Ⅲ and type Ⅳ in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Low PI is more likely to cause the recurrence of lumbar disc herniation after transforaminal endoscopic discectomy.Roussouly type Ⅰ and type Ⅱ lumbar disc herniation have a higher chance of recurrence after transforaminal endoscopic discectomy,should be chose carefully for transforaminal endoscopic discectomy and protection after surgery should be used.
