ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of minimally invasive pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of thoracolumbar spine fracture.Methods Totally 80 patients with thoracolumbar spinal fracture accepted pedicle screw internal fixation in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2015 were selected as the observation object.According to the operation mode,they were equally divided into minimally invasive surgery group and open surgery group.The operation effect,quality of life and the incidence of complications of the two groups were compared.Results The operation time of the two groups had no significant difference.The amount of blood loss and postoperative drainage volume in minimally invasive surgery group were less than those in open surgery group(P ＜ 0.05).The anterior and posterior Cobb's angles of the two groups had no significant difference.The anterior and posterior Cobb's angles of the two groups both decreased 3 months after operation,and it decreased more significantly in the minimally invasive surgery group compared with the open surgery group with statistically significant difference(P ＜0.05).The VAS and ODI scores between the two groups had no significant difference before operation.And the scores of the two groups all decreased 3 months after operation,but the reduction in the minimally invasive surgery group was more significant (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence rate of complications of the two groups had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The quality of life of the two groups had no difference before surgery,and it increased 3 months after the operation both in the two groups,and the minimally invasive surgery group increased more significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The minimally invasive pedicle screw internal fixation for thoracolumbar spine fracture has a better therapeutic effect,which can significantly improve the patients clinical symptoms,signs,and their quality of life.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Spinal canal decompression is needed in posterior pedicle screw fixation surgery for thoracolumbar burst fractures combine with spinal cord injury. The structure of posterior spine is often damaged. The posterolateral bone fusion in al fixed segment is stil the main surgery. In order to further reduce fusion segment and maintain motor unit, it is necessary to perform selective segmental bone graft fusion during fixation and decompression. OBJECTIVE: To discuss the advantages of selective posterolateral vertebral fusion for thoracolumbar fracture with spinal injury through comparing with posterolateral vertebral fusion. METHODS: Data of 83 thoracolumbar burst fracture cases, who received posterior lumbar decompression and short segment fixation with pedicle screws and bone graft through injured vertebra from January 2006 to July 2013, were analyzed retrospectively. According to fusion segments, above patients were divided into selective posterolateral vertebral fusion group (n=42) and the whole posterolateral vertebral fusion group (n=41). Perioperative index, internal fixation, vertebral height loss rate, Cobb angle, spinal nerve recovery and Oswestry Disability Index were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Al cases were folowed up for 25-32 months. (2) There was no statistical significance in operation time, intraoperative blood loss and ambulation time between the two groups (P > 0.05). Postoperative drainage volume was less in the selective posterolateral vertebral fusion group than in the whole posterolateral vertebral fusion group (P 0.05). (4) There was no significant difference in fusion rate at 6 months after treatment between the two groups (P > 0.05). Fusion was achieved in both groups before removal of the fixator. (5) Spinal nerve recovery was found after treatment in both groups. No significant difference in Oswestry Disability Index was detected in final folow-up (P > 0.05). (6) Results verified that compared with the whole posterolateral vertebral fusion, selective posterolateral vertebral fusion can obtain a good vertebral height and prevent Cobb angle loss again, reduce the internal fixation loosening and breakage. After removal of the fixator, selective posterolateral vertebral fusion can reduce spinal motion unit lost, and decrease the adjacent vertebral degeneration.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Intravertebral bone graft to rebuild anterior and middle column structure and to recover vertebral morphology has been re-understood, and a suitable bone graft material can promote bone healing and be conducive to rebuild the long-term stability of the spine. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the differences in clinical efficacy of three kinds of bone graft materials through unilateral pedicle to treat thoracolumbar burst fractures. METHODS:Total y 102 thoracolumbar burst fracture patients were randomized into three groups:autologous bone, autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone and al ogeneic bone were implanted via the unilateral pedicle, respectively, in the three groups. We measured the percentage of height of the anterior edge of vertebral body and Cobb angle by X-Ray before and after bone grafting, and used CT to observe bone graft healing, and used Mimics to measure the defect area of vertebral body at the last fol ow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the 102 patients were fol owed-up for 24-36 months. The percentage of height of the anterior edge of vertebral body and Cobb angle of three groups were restored after bone grafting (P<0.05), but there was no difference in the percentage of height of the anterior edge of vertebral body of three groups at different time point after bone grafting. The Cobb angle in the al ogeneic bone group was bigger than that in the autologous bone group and autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone group at 9, 12 and 24 months after bone grafting (P<0.05). The fracture healing rate of the al ogeneic bone group at different time points was lower than that of the autologous bone group and autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone group (P<0.05), and the area of bone defect was bigger than that in the autologous bone group and autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone group (P<0.05). These findings indicate that these three bone graft materials can rebuild the vertebral body via the unilateral pedicle to treat thoracolumbar burst fracture, reduce the loss of vertebral height and Cobb angle, and decrease defect area of the vertebral body. The clinical efficacy of autologous bone combined with al ogeneic bone to heal bone graft and reduce bone defect is similar to autologous bone, both of which are better than al ogeneic bone alone.
