Abstract:
Objective To explore the efficacy of ZPLATE TM anterior fixation systems in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures and dislocations.Methods 13 cases with old thoracolumbar fractures and dislocations accompanied with spinal cord injury have been treated by anterior decompression,implanting bone union and internal fixation with ZPLATE TM anterior fixation systems.Results After an average of 15 5 months followup,No plate and screw was loose and fragmentized,there is no pseudoarticulation formation,average union time are 3 7 months, and paraplegia showed different degrees of recovery.Conclusion It suggests that anterior approach provids thorough decompression and ZPLATE TM anterior fixation systems is a good spinal fixation system for the treatment of old thoracolumbar fractures and dislocations with the characteristics of strong fixation.
