Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of posterior short segment pedicle screw fixation combined with transpedicular intracorporeal grafing in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures .Methods :The clinical data of 30 patients with thoracolumbar fractures ,who were admitted and treated with posterior short segment pedicle screw fixation combined with transpedicular intracorporeal grafting during June 2011 and June 2013 ,were retrospectively analyzed .The operation time ,intra‐operational bleeding amount , preoperative and postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS ) score ,the ratio of anterior and posterior vertebral height ,Cobb angle ,neurological function(Frankel grade) and complications were recorded .Results:All the cases had been followed up for 14 .6 months averagely(range from 6 to 23 months) .There was significant difference between the VAS score at the last follow‐up and the preoperative one (P<0 .05) .The ratio of anterior and posterior vertebral height as well as the Cobb angle improved significantly at the 3rd day after operation and the last follow‐up as compared with preoperative ones(P<0 .05) .The ratio of anterior and posterior vertebral height as well as Cobb angle at the 3rd day after operation was not significantly different from that at the last follow‐up(P>0 .05) .The postoperative Frankel grade in patients with neurological function damage improved significantly .There was no breakage or loosening happened with the internal fixation .Conclusions :The posterior short segment pedicle screw fixation combined with transpedicular intracorporeal grafting can reconstruct vertebral body height ,rebuild anatomic form of vertebra ,obtain better kyphosis correction ,maintain the correction effect and avoid the long term lumbago and back pain .This surgical method is safe and effective .
