Clinical Effect of Posterior Internal Fixation and Fusion in the Treatment of Thoracolumbar Fractures

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of posterior internal fixation and fusion in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures.Methods:36 patients with thoracolumbar fractures from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected and divided into study group and control group according to the random number table model.The control group was treated with anterior internal fixation,while the study group was treated with posterior internal fixation and fusion.The indexes of the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results:Compared with the operation related indexes of the two groups,the study group had more advantages(P<0.05);The postoperative kyphosis Cobb angle,height of anterior and posterior vertebral body,wedge index of the two groups were better than those before operation(P<0.05),and there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05);There was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion:The clinical effect of posterior internal fixation and fusion in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures is significant,and the body damage is slight,which is worthy of comprehensive promotion.

Atlantoaxial joint fusion using anterior transarticular screw fixation and bone grafting for atlantoaxial joint instability

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of atlantoaxial joint fusion using anterior transarticular screw fixation and bone grafting for atlantoaxial joint instability. Methods Twenty-three cases of atlantoaxial joint instability were

Unilateral pedicle screw fixation combined with lumbar interbody fusion for the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases

Objective To explore the feasibility and efficiency of the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and posterolateral fusion (PLF) procedures in which unilateral pedicle screw fixation was used.

Clinical Outcome of Internal Fixation and Fusion in the Treatment of Spinal Fractures by Paraspinal Muscular Space Approach

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of internal fixation and fusion with the paraspinal muscle gap approach in the treatment of spinal fracture patients.Methods:104 spinal fracture patients admitted to Central Hospital of TCM from October 2022 to April 2024 were selected as the study subjects and were randomly divided into the control group(n=52)and the observation group(n=52)according to the random number table method.The control group was treated with the conventional approach of internal fixation surgery,and the observation group was treated with the paraspinal muscular interspace approach of internal fixation fusion.The two groups’general data,surgical indexes,pain,lumbar spine function,and postoperative complications were observed.Results:The baseline data of the two groups of patients were not statistically significant(all P>0.05)while the intraoperative bleeding,the first postoperative time getting up from bed,and the length of hospital stay of the patients in the observation group were shorter than that of the control group(all P=0.000<0.001),and the duration of the operation was longer than that of the control group(t=2.644,P=0.010<0.05);at 3 months postoperatively,the VAS scores of the patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(t=10.768,P=0.000<0.001),and the JOA score was higher than that of the control group(t=6.498,P=0.000<0.001);the total complication rate of patients in the observation group(3/5.77%)was significantly lower than that of the control group(12/23.08%)(χ^(2)=6.310,P=0.012<0.05).Conclusion:In the treatment of spinal fracture patients,compared with the conventional approach to internal fixation surgery,the paraspinal muscular gap approach to internal fixation and fusion treatment is less traumatic,postoperative lumbar spine function recovery is faster,and can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
