Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of traumatic spinopelvic dissociation treated with robot-assisted bilateral triangular fixation.Methods:From March 2016 to March 2020, 30 patients with traumatic spinopelvic dissociation were retrospectively analyzed. According to operation and fixation methods, the patients were divided into robot-assisted minimally invasive bilateral triangular fixation group (Robot triangular group) and traditional open reduction lumbopelvic fixation group (Lumbopelvic group). There were 16 patients in the Robot triangular group, 4 males and 12 females, average age 35.7±13.3 years (range, 16-58 years). There were 10 cases of U-shaped, 4 cases of H-shaped, 2 cases of Y-shaped sacral fractures according to shape classification of sacral fractures. According to ROY-Camille classification, there were 4 cases of type I, 9 cases of type II, 3 cases of type III. There were 13 cases with sacral nerve injuries, including 10 cases of Gibbons grade II, 3 cases of grade III. There were 14 patients in the Lumbopelvic group, 4 males and 10 females, average age 37.4±15.1 years (range, 18-66 years), there were 10 cases of U-shaped, 3 cases of H-shaped, 1 case of Y-shaped sacral fractures according to shape classification of sacral fractures. According to ROY-Camille classification, there were 1 case of type I, 10 cases of type II, 3 cases of type III. There were 10 cases with sacral nerve injuries, 7 cases of Gibbons grade II, 3 cases of grade III. The patients' age, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and Majeed score of the two groups were compared by independent sample t-test; gender, sacral fracture classification, ROY-Camille classification, fracture reduction quality, postoperative wound infection, and sacral nerve recovery were compared by Chi-square test. Results:All patients were followed up for 23.6 months (range, 12-54 months). In the Robot triangular group, the operation time was 95.3±27.5 min (range, 70-180 min), and intraoperative blood loss was 98.7±47.5 ml (range, 50-250 ml). According to Mears and Velyvis imaging evaluation criteria, anatomical reduction was achieved in 6 cases, satisfactory reduction was achieved in 9 cases and unsatisfactory reduction in 1 case. The Majeed score was 85.5±7.7 points. 8 cases of Gibbons grade II sacral nerve injury were recovered to grade I after surgery, 1 case of grade III recovered to grade I, and 1 case recovered to grade II. In the Iliolumbar fixation group, the operation time was 148.6±59.1 min (range, 90-240 min), and intraoperative blood loss was 582.1±244.6 ml (range, 300-1 200 ml). According to Mears and Velyvis imaging evaluation criteria, anatomical reduction was achieved in 7 cases, satisfactory reduction was achieved in 6 case and unsatisfactory in 1 case. The Majeed score was 77.6±7.7 points. 5 of 7 cases of Gibbons grade II sacral nerve injury were recovered to grade I after surgery, and 2 of 3 cases of grade III recovered to grade I. Compared with the Iliolumbar fixation group, the Robot triangular group has shorter operation time ( t=3.23, P<0.05), less bleeding ( t=7.76, P<0.05), and higher postoperative Majeed score ( t=2.83, P<0.05). There are statistical differences in the above indicators significance. Conclusion:For traumatic spinopelvic dissociation, especially fractures involving the lumbosacral junction, those who do not require sacral nerve decompression, Robot-assisted bilateral triangular fixation shows satisfactory clinical outcomes, which is minimally invasive, with fewer postoperative complications.
