【摘要】 目的 探讨纳米羟基磷灰石/聚酰胺66(nano-hydroxyapatite polyamide66,n-HA/PA66)颈椎融合器在颈椎间盘突出症前路手术重建中的临床疗效。 方法 2008年12月-2010年6月,对14例颈椎间盘突出症患者行前路椎间盘切除、椎管减压,以n-HA/PA66椎间融合器支撑植骨、钢板螺钉内固定治疗。随访时间3~12个月,平均6.3个月;随访时以日本矫形外科学会(Japan Orthopaedic Assoctiation, JOA)评分改善率评价患者神经功能恢复情况,复查X线片评估椎间融合器植骨融合情况,包括椎间高度及椎间融合器下沉情况。 结果 14例患者均成功完成颈椎前路减压手术以及椎间融合器的安放固定。所有患者术前症状均得到不同程度的改善,术后3、6、12个月的JOA改善率分别为87.0%、94.0%、97.0%。影像学检查显示所有患者植骨融合,椎间高度及椎间融合器的位置维持良好,无下沉、移位。 结论 n-HA/PA66颈椎间融合器具有早期支撑稳定功能,可有效维持颈椎椎间高度;术后植骨融合率高且便于X线片观察,是颈椎间盘突出症患者前路手术植骨的理想支撑材料,但长期效果需进一步随访观察。
【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of artificial cervical vertebra fusion apparatus of n-HA/PA66 in anterior reconstruction of cervical intervertebral disc herniation. Methods From December 2008 to June 2010, 14 patients with cervical intervertebral disc herniation underwent anterior cervical discectomy,spinal canal decompression,spinal canal decompression and reconstruction by n-HA/PA66 composite artificial vertebral body combined with plate instrumentation. The patients were followed up for 3 to 12 months with an average of 6.3 months. Neurological function was evaluated by improvement rate of JOA score and situations of the supporting body was observed by X-ray in 3,6,and 12 months after the surgery.The intervertebral height,the 1ocations, and the fusion rate of the supporting body were assessed in order to evaluate the stability of the cervical spine and alignment improvements. Results All the patients had undergone the operation successfully.The preoperative symptoms improved to varying degrees.JOA improvement rate were 87.0%, 94.0%, and 97.0% 3,6,and 12 months after the operation,respectively.Imaging studies showed that in all cases graft fusion were achieved,and cervical alignments,intervertebral height,cervical spine stability and the locations of the artificial vertebral body were well maintained.No displacement and subsidence of the artificial vertebral body occurred. Conclusion n-HA/PA66 artificial vertebral body can provide early cervical spine support and stability and cervical intervertebral height.It has a high rate of graft fusion and is convenient to observe by X-ray.Therefore,n-HA/PA66 can be taken as an ideal graft for anterior degenerative cervical spine operation,but further follow-up study is still needed to evaluate the long-term effects.
