Application of Osteoset artificial bone implantation in surgical treatment of spinal tuberculosis / 中国矫形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

[Objective]To assess the safety and clinical result of Osteoset artificial bone and autogenetic bone grafting ccmbined with internal fixation after radical debridement in the treatment of spinal tuberculosis.[Method]From April 2004 to May 2006,24 cases with spinal tuberculosis were treated with radical debridement,Osteoset artificial bone and autogenetic bone grafting combined with internal fixation.Radiographs(X-rays and CTs) were analyzed to access bony fusion and deformity correction.[Result]All the patients acquired satisfactory incision healing without fever.The follow-up period ranged from 6 to 24 months(mean 15 months).There was no recurrence of the disease or loose instrumentation.The average Cobb's angle correction was(15.2??6.7?).The rate of fusion was 95.8% 3 month after operation,while it was 100% 6 month after operation.[Conclusion]Osteoset artificial bone can avoid the complications of donor bone site.The early clinical outcome is satisfying.
