Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical effect of one new type of short section pedicle of vertebral arch nail system(internal fixation system by nail-stick) on patients with thoracolumbar fracture.Methods 68 patients with thoracolumbar fracture were selected.Internal fixation system by nail-stick was used on the patients with thoracolumbar fracture,the clinical effect was observed.Results After following up for six to eighteen months,the vertebral height was measured by X-ray.The anterior edge height of the vertebral was 47% before operation and 94% after operation,the posterior edge height of the vertebral was 76% before operation and 97% after operation,there was significant difference between preoperation and post operation(P<0.01).All the cases with AF intemal fixation system had better clinical effect,18 cases had satisfactory effect.Except that the neurological deficits of 4 cases had not been improved,those of the other cases all had been impreved at some degree.Conclusion Thoracolumbar fracture should be treated early,AF imtermal fixation system has significant effect on the thoracolumbar fracture,the skilled performance is important during the operation,and contraindications of internal fixation system by nail-stick should be noticed.
