Abstract:
[Objective]To evaluate the therapeutic effects of the operation of latero-anterior internal fixation by plate screw and vertebroplasty by calcium sulfate cement for treatment of thoracolumbar more vertebral compression fractures with osteoporosis.[Method]Twenty-two patients with osteoporosis and more vertebal compression fractures received latero-anterior internal fixation by plate screw and vertebroplasty by calcium sulfate cement.Functions of spinal cord nerve were damaged in different degrees.Preoperative auxiliary examination of X-ray,CT and MRI was used.The spinal stabilization,spinal cord function and the state of chronic lumbodynia were observed by postoperative photographs.[Result]All the patients were followed up,and the implants showed bone union.Sensation and motor function were improved in various degrees.The pain of chest and back or other complaints were obviously relieved.No recurrence occurred.Vertebral bodies by vertebroplasty had no leakage and the short-term effects were satisfactory.[Conclusion]The operation of latero-anterior internal fixation by plate screw combining vertebroplasty is profitable to simultaneously improve nerve compression of thoracolumbar kyphosis,spine instability,and other chronic pain caused by osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.
