Total L1 Vertebrectomy With T12-to-L2 Fusion in a Case of Burst Fracture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods: A 26-year-old male patient presented with a posttraumatic L1 vertebra fracture and total paraplegia. Three weeks after corpectomy plus otogenic bone grafting plus instrumentation by an anterolateral approach, the patient, who had 3-column injury, developed a treatment-resistant deep wound infection. In the fourth week of antibiotic treatment after the onset of the infection, there was no improvement, and the vertebral stabilization provided by the instrumentation was disrupted. Thus, the fixators and autograft were removed, the L1 posterior elements were totally excised, and compressive posterior instrumentation was performed.

Anterolateral Corrective Lumbar Corpectomy and Interbody Fusion by Using Extended Screw Fixation without Posterior Instrumentation for Posttraumatic Kyphosis
A 26-year-old paraplegic schizophrenic Japanese woman suffered from severe kyphosis and back pain derived from lumbar burst fractures caused by jumping. She had already undergone resection of the L1 and L2 spinous processes for sharp angular kyphosis, but she still had severe kyphosis and back pain at the L1 and L2. Radiographical examination revealed fused anterior columns at L1 and L2 with se...

In pregnancy, advanced vertebral hemangiomas may be seen, and these require treatment. The case reported here is of a 35-year-old female in the 32nd week of pregnancy who was admitted to the orthopaedics clinic with a history of backache and difficulty walking. A burst fracture of L1 associated with a vertebral hemangioma was identified with an L3 compression fracture secondary to osteoporosis....

To quantify the mechanical contribution of posterior ligamentous structures to the stability of thoracolumbar compression fractures.Twelve fresh human T11-L3 spinal specimens were harvested in this study. The 1/3 L1 vertebral body was resected in a wedged shape. After the preinjury had been created, the specimens were subjected to flexion-compression to create a fracture model. Resection of the...
