Abstract:
[Objective]To evaluate the indications,efficacy and safety of posterior total laminectomy decompression and reduction with pedicle screws for lower cervical fracture and dislocation.[Method]From June 2005 to February 2008,41 patients with lower cervical fracture and dislocation received posterior total laminectomy decompression and reduction with pedicle screws.The patients(M=32,F=9)were 22-47 years old,with an average of 33.5 years old.There were 38 fresh and 3 old injuries.[Result]All the patients were operated on successfully without severe complications during perioperative period.Totally 252 (89%) screws were exactly implanted in the cervical pedicle.The everage surgery time was 3.1 h (2.5-4 h).The average blood loss during the operation was 460 ml (250-950 ml). The average time of follow-up was 27.5 months(24-36 months). All patients had satisfiactory reduction and no internal fixator failure.Thirty-two patients who were followed up for more than 24 months had complete fusion. The motor and sensory score (ASIA92) were improved significantly at 2 years follow-up(P
