Comparative Research of Interfixation and Non-interfixation Applied to Treate the Thoracolumbar Spinal Tuberculosis / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective Compare the curative effect of simply bone grafting with bone grafting, sequentially or simultaneously instrumentation planting in surgical treatment of thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis,to verify the possibility and curative effect of radical debridement,bone grafting, sequentially or simultaneously instrumentation planting.Methods Twenty-five cases were treated with radical debridement,bone grafting,21 patients with sequentially or simultaneously instrumentation planting.Evaluating the bony fusion rate,correction of deformity and the status of lesion contrastively.Results Forty-three patients were followed-up for an average of 21 monthes,all of them were cured and shown bony union. With instrumentation we got shorter bony union,better correction and no obviously correction lost.Conclusion Radical debridement,bone grafting, sequentially or simultaneously instrumentation planting can offer a complete removal of lesion as well as restruction of spinal stability which make the local immobilization possible.Through this procedure ,early rehabilitation will be possible and the cure rate fo spinal tuberculosis increased.
