Abstract:
BACKGROUND:With the development of fixation materials and technology, scholars began to use artificial bone materials combined with pedicle screw fixation in the repair of spinal tuberculosis. OBJECTIVE: To summarize the characteristics of artificial bone materials combined with pedicle screw fixation in the repair of spinal tuberculosis. METHODS:The literatures about artificial bone graft materials in repair of spinal tuberculosis were retrieved from CNKI and PubMed database during 1985 to 2014 by computer. The keywords were “spinal tuberculosis, bone transplantation, internal fixation” in Chinese and English, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the repair of spinal tuberculosis using artificial bone materials combined with pedicle screw fixation, autologous bone is the gold standard for bone grafting, presenting with no immune rejection. To avoid the occurrence of limited bone mass, pain and other complications, however, artificial bone materials have been extensively studied. Currently used artificial materials mainly include titanium and its aloys, hydroxyapatite composites and medical calcium sulfate, which al have good biocompatibility. But there are stil certain limitations and shortcomings.
