Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo develop a percutaneous and transpedical interbody bone grafting apparatus for vertebral bone defect reconstruction in thoracolumbar fracture correction via minimally invasive operation.
METHODSThe percutaneous and transpedical interbody bone grafting apparatus was designed with CAD software, and the reduction effect, range of bone grafting and surgical complications of the apparatus were investigated in adult cadaveric thoracolumbar body and with computerized surgical simulation.
RESULTSThe self-designed apparatus was convenient for percutaneous and transpedical interbody bone grafting that did not give rise to complications. CT showed large bone grafting area with increased density in the vertebral body corrected with this apparatus.
CONCLUSIONThe designed apparatus allows easy manipulation and efficient bone grafting and repositioning. Minimally invasive interbody bone grafting in thoracolumbar fracture can be easily performed with proper application of the apparatus.
