ABSTRACT
STUDY DESIGN:
Retrospective studyOBJECTIVES:
To examine the effect of transpedicular screw fixation on fractured vertebrae about the vertebral wedge angle (VWA) after posterior instrumentation of the thoracolumbar fracture, determine the effect of reduced VWA on the change in the Kyphotic angle (KA), and minimize loss of reduction of KA. SUMMARY OF THE LITERATURE REVIEW Maintenance of the KA of a thoracolumbar fracture after surgery is important for the radiologic and functional outcome. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Forty patients, who had undergone posterior instrumentation in a thoracolumbar fracture between February 2006 and February 2008 and followed-up for more than one year, were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups according to transpedicular screw fixation (Group A) or not (Group B) including fractured vertebrae. The evaluation was performed by measuring the changes in the KA and VWA taken after the injury, immediate after surgery and 1 year after surgery.RESULTS:
There was correlation between groups A (transpedicular screw fixation on fractured vertebrae) and B (no transpedicular screw fixation on the fractured vertebrae) regarding the correction of the VWA and the loss of correction KA, (p<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
Reduction of the VWA is an important factor for preventing reduction loss of the KA, and transpedicular screw fixation including fractured vertebrae would help reduce the VWA. Therefore, the operator must pay attention to the increase in VWA to maintain the KA through short segment transpedicular screw fixation including fractured vertebrae.
