Abstract:
Objective To explore the curative effect of pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of unstable thoracolumbar fractures. Methods All 55 patients with unstable thoracolumbar fractures who were admitted to our hospital from Jan-uary 2012 to December 2013 were selected as research subjects and received the treatment of pedicle screw fixation. The Cobb angle and Frankel grading before and after the treatment were compared and analyzed. Results Average Cobb angle before the surgery was(21.1±0.5)o, and the average Frankel grade was(2.8±0.3). The Cobb angle in half an year after the surger was(7.0±0.2)o, and the average Frankel grading was(4.8±0.2). The differences were statisti-cally significant(P<0.05). In addition,55 patients did not show obvious complications in a one-year follow-up. Con-clusion The pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of unstable thoracolumbar fractures has a significant effect and ad-vantages of good reduction fixation, easy operation and reestablishing spinal stability, so it can be applied as main treatment method for unstable thoracolumbar fractures.
