Comment on "The Surgical Management of Traumatic Lower Cervical Spondylolisthesis with Posterior Percutaneous Pedicle Screw Fixation"

چکیده
We reported a technical report of traumatic lower cervical spondylolisthesisca used by bilateral pedicle fracture, without neurological compression. The patient was treated with the minimally invasive technique of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation. Fracture healing and normal cervical motion were confirmed by plain films and physical examinations on the 18-monthpostoperatively. The technique of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation might be an alternative strategy for the treatment of traumatic lower cervical spondylolisthesis with pedicle fracture.

Fourty-two patients (34 males and 8 female) with traumatic spondylolisthesis of the axis were studied in a retrospective review There were 20 stable and 22 unstable fractures. The 22 unstable fractures were treated surgically: 16 anterior interbody fusion (10 non-plated and 6 plated), 4 pedicle screw fixation for osteosynthesis of the fractured pedicles, and 2 posterior wire fixation for flexio...

INTRODUCTION Traditional surgical management of lumbosacral spondylolisthesis is technically challenging and is associated with significant complications. The advent of minimally invasive surgical techniques offers patients treatment alternatives with lower operative morbidity risk. The combination of percutaneous pedicle screw reduction and an axial presacral approach for lumbosacral discectom...

Degenerative spondylolisthesis has long been recognized as a cause of chronic low back pain and sciatica. Extensive anatonmical and embryological studies have not fully explained the cause of this painful condition. The mechanism of pain in degenerative spondylolisthesis has been confirmed by demonstrating the disc lesion pre-operatively by X-rays and MR imaging followed by surgical treatment i...
متن کاملPercutaneous Transpedicular Screw Insertion Technique ( Sextant )
Boucher was the first to use screws that crossed through the strongest point of attachment of the facet joint into the pedicle and the body of the vertebra below. He declared a pseudorthrosis rate of 14% to 17% including multilevel fusions (1). The use of pedicle screw–assisted spinal stabilization has become increasingly popular worldwide. Pedicle screw systems engage all three columns of the ...

Objective: To illustrate a hybrid technique that involves a combination of open decompression and Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (PLIF) and percutaneously placed pedicle screws. This technique allows for PLIF via a midline incision and approach, and decompression without compromise in operative time and visualisation. Furthermore, this approach is proposed to reduce post-operative wound pain...
