Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Clinical practice showed that there are certain correlations between postoperative C-reactive protein levels and bone graft fusion time following focal debridement,autologous iliac bone graft,with or without plate internal fixation,for the treatment of spinal tuberculosis.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the correlation between postoperative C-reactive protein levels and bone graft fusion time of spinal tuberculosis patients.METHODS: A total of 60 cases with spinal tuberculosis were selected from January 2007 to December 2009.All patients were underwent focal debridement,autologous iliac bone graft,with or without plate internal fixation,and confirmed by pathology.The C-reactive protein levels were determined at 1,7 and 14 days after operation,and then,according to average changes of C-reactive protein levels,the cases were assigned into 4 groups: 10-25 mg/L served as the mildly increase group,26-50 mg/L as the moderately increase group,51-100 mg/L as the highly increase group,and greater than 101 mg/L as the extremely increase group.Postoperative C-reactive protein levels were examined at 12,16,and 24 weeks after operation,the bone graft fusion was observed by X-ray or CT examination,in addition,bone block fusion time was recorded.All groups of patients with spinal tuberculosis postoperative C-reactive protein diversity and bone graft fusion time were analyzed by variability and correlation analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were 18 cases in the mildly increase group,21 cases in the moderately increase group,13 cases in the highly increase group,and 8 cases in the extremely increase group.The bone fusion time showed that: there were8 cases equal to or less than 12 weeks,34 cases equal to or less than 16 weeks,and 18 cases equal to or less than 24 weeks.There were significant differences among 4 groups in bone graft fusion times(X2=13.990,P=0.003).Spearman correlation analysis showed that,there was a positive correlation between postoperative C-reactive protein levels and bone fusion time(r=0.420,P=0.001).
