چکیده
To determine the effectiveness of the application of one stage posterior approach osteotomy with screw rod fixation and cage inserting anteriorly in late kyphosis deformity. 39 cases of late kyphosis deformity treated with one stage posterior approach osteotomy with screw rod fixation and cage inserting anteriorly were retrospective reviewed. The height of anterior and posterior margin of vertebral body, local sagittal Cobb angle and vertebral wedge angle pre and post-operation were measured. All cases were followed up for 24-84 months (average of 32 months). The height of anterio margin of vertebral body pre-operation was 0.8575 ± 0.742 cm, while it was 2.675 ± 1.615 cm at latest follow up, which was significantly increased. The height of posterior margin of vertebral body was 2.878 ± 1.701 cm, while it was 2.805 ± 1.576 cm, at latest follow up, which was not significantly different compared with the results pre-operation. The Cobb angle of kyphosis at latest follow up post -operation was 11.988 ± 5.474°, which was significantly different compared with the results pre-operation. The average correction rate of kyphosis at latest follow up was 71.1%. The trauma vertebral wedge angle was 31 ± 9.899° pre-operation and significantly decreased at 6.062 ± 7.06° post-operation. 33 cases with spinal injury were classified according to Franke 1 value system. One stage posterior approach osteotomy with screw rod fixation and cage inserting anteriorly is an effective surgical procedure for the treatment of the late kyphosis deformity. The long-term effect is reliable.

A single posterior approach for vertebral column resection in adults with severe rigid kyphosis
Abstract Background: Correction of severe kyphosis is a challenging operation in spinal surgery. A two stage operation has been commonly used: anterior release and decompression followed by posterior correction and fusion. We describe the posterior vertebral osteotomy technique for correction of severe and rigid kyphosis through posterior-only approach. Methods: Twelve patients (six male and s...

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...

Background & Importance: Spinal deformity is one of the most common disorders among the vertebral diseases that results from unnatural curvatures of spine, such as scoliosis and kyphosis. Spinal fusion surgery is used most commonly to treat certain types of spinal deformity. Herein, we reported the efficacy of posterior spinal fusion accompanied by instrumentation in patients with the...
متن کاملThree column stabilization through posterior approach alone: transpedicular placement of distractable cage with transpedicular screw fixation.
The combination of anterior and posterior instrumentation provides the most stable repair for burst fractures of the thoracolumbar spine. However, the use of both approaches on a trauma patient may increase morbidity. Stabilization of three columns through only one approach can provide an effective outcome. We treated eight patients with burst fracture involving the thoracic or lumbar vertebrae...

The spinal manifestations of neurofibromatosis include cervicothoracic kyphosis, in which scalloping of the vertebral body and erosion of the pedicles may render conventional techniques of fixation impossible. We describe a case of cervicothoracic kyphosis managed operatively with a vascularised fibular graft anteriorly across the apex of the kyphus, followed by a long posterior construct using...
