Bone Cement-Augmented Short Segment Fixation with Percutaneous Screws for Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures Accompanied by Severe Osteoporosis
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of bone cement-augmented short segment fixation using percutaneous screws for thoracolumbar burst fractures in a background of severe osteoporosis. METHODS Sixteen patients with a single-level thoracolumbar burst fracture (T11-L2) accompanying severe osteoporosis treated from January 2008 to November 2009 were prospectively ana...
متن کاملShort segment screw fixation without fusion in treatment for unstable thoracolumbar burst fracture.
This study aims to evaluate clinical efficacy of short segment pedicle screw fixation without bone fusion for unstable thoracolumbar burst fracture. Nineteen patients younger than 40 years old with unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures were included. The surgical procedure included postural reduction for 3 days and screw fixations at one level above, one level below and at the fractured level ...
متن کاملShort Segment Fixation Versus Short Segment Fixation With Pedicle Screws at the Fracture Level for Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture
Objective: The most prevailing surgical procedure in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures, Short Segment Fixation (SSF), is often followed by loss of correction or hardware failure which may be signifi cant enough to require another surgical intervention. In order to take advantage of its benefi ts but to avoid or diminish the risk and impact of associated drawbacks, some other altern...
متن کاملCement augmentation of pathological fracture fixation.
Fixation of pathological fractures provides rapid pain relief and often restores mobility (Anderson et al 1978). The difficulty in achieving strong fixation in pathological bone may be overcome in part by adding bone cement (Harrington et a! 1976). This addition may, however, create fresh problems. The cement may harden before fracture reduction or implant insertion has been achieved, or some m...
متن کاملShort Segment Screw Fixation without Fusion for Unstable Thoracolumbar and Lumbar Burst Fracture : A Prospective Study on Selective Consecutive Patients
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of screw fixation without bone fusion for unstable thoracolumbar and lumbar burst fracture. METHODS Nine patients younger than 40 years underwent screw fixation without bone fusion, following postural reduction using a soft roll at the involved vertebra, in cases of burst fracture. Their motor power was in...
