ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the curative effect of posterior internal fixation and fusion on patients with spinal fractures, and to provide the basis for clinical application. Methods A total of one hundred and eighty?eight patients with orthopedic incision treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from March 2013 to December 2016 were divided into the observation group ( 98 cases with posterior internal fixation fusion ) and the control group ( 90 cases with anterior internal fixation fusion ) . The clinical curative effects of the patients ( including Cobb angle,spinal nerve function,complications and the success rate of surgery ) , postoperative visual analogue score ( VAS ) , hospitalization time, operation time were compared. Results In the observation group,the VAS score before operation was (6. 89±6. 89) points and reduced to (2. 70±1. 33) points after operation,the pain decreased significantly after treatment (t=26. 099,P<0. 001). The VAS score of the control group lowered from (6. 85±6. 85) points to (5. 05±1. 35) points,and the pain decreased significantly after treatment ( t=10. 704, P<0. 001 ) , and the postoperative pain in the observation group was significantly reduced than that in the control group ( t=12. 016,P<0. 001) . There were significant differences between the observation group and the control group in operation time,intraoperative blood loss,incision length and hospitalization time ( ( 141. 91 ± 35. 42 ) min vs. ( 198. 82 ± 38. 61 ) min, ( 509. 72 ±113. 65) ml vs. (823. 40±108. 54) ml,(10. 25 ± 0. 84) cm vs. (18. 83±1. 58) cm,(10. 59±12) d vs. (15. 37±1. 52) d,t=10. 541,19. 315,47. 015,24. 681,P<0. 001) . The total effective rate of the observation group was 86 cases ( 97. 96%) , and ineffective rate of the observation group was 2 cases ( 2. 04%) . In the control group, the effective and ineffective rates were 75 cases ( 83. 33%) and 15 cases ( 16. 67%) , the difference in effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant (χ2 = 12. 202, P<0. 001 ) . Conclusion Posterior internal fixation fusion is effective in the treatment of spinal fracture,which can reduce the postoperative pain,shorten the hospitalization time,less complication and high success rate. It is suitable for clinical promotion.
