  • COMPARISON OF SHORT SEGMENTAL FIXATION WITH AND WITHOUT FUSION IN TREATMENT OF THORACOLUMBAR BURST FRACTURE BY POSTERIOR APPROACH

    ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of short segmental pedicle screw fixation with and without fusion in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture. MethodsA retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 57 patients with single segment thoracolumbar burst fractures, who accorded with the inclusion criteria between February 2012 and February 2014. The patients underwent posterior short segmental pedicle screw fixation with fusion in 27 cases (fusion group) and without fusion in 30 cases (non-fusion group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, time between injury and admission, fracture segment and classification, and neurologic function America Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) classification between 2 groups, which had the comparability (P > 0.05). The operative time, blood loss, and hospitalization days were compared between 2 groups. The height of the injured vertebra, the kyphotic angle, and the range of motion (ROM) were measured on the X-ray film. The functional outcomes were evaluated by using the Greenough low-back outcome score and the visual analogue scale (VAS) for back pain. The neurologic functional recovery was assessed by ASIA grade. ResultsThe operative time was significantly shortened and the blood loss was significantly reduced in the non-fusion group when compared with the fusion group (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was found in hospitalization days between 2 groups (P > 0.05). The patients were followed up for 2.0-3.5 years (mean, 3.17 years) in the fusion group and for 2-4 years (mean, 3.23 years) in the non-fusion group. X-ray films showed that 2 cases failed bone graft fusion, the fusion time was 12-17 weeks (mean, 15.6 weeks) in the other 25 cases. Complication occurred in 2 cases of the fusion group (1 case of incision deep infection and 1 case of hematoma at iliac bone donor site) and in 1 case of the non-fusion group (fat liquefaction); primary healing of incision was obtained in the others. The Cobb angle, the height of injured vertebrae showed no significant difference between 2 groups at pre-operation, immediate after operation, and last follow-up (P > 0.05). The ROM of injured vertebrae showed no significant difference between 2 groups at 1 year after operation (before implants were removed) (P > 0.05). The implants were removed at 1 year after operation in all cases of the non-fusion group, and in 11 cases of the fusion group. At last follow-up, the ROM of injured vertebrae in the non-fusion group was significantly higher than that in the fusion group (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was found in Greenough low-back outcome score, VAS score, and ASIA grade between 2 groups (P > 0.05). ConclusionFusion is not necessary when thoracolumbar burst fracture is treated by posterior short segmental pedicle screw fixation, which can preserve regional segmental motion, shorten the operative time, decrease blood loss, and eliminate bone graft donor site complications.

  • Effectiveness comparison between two operations in treatment of unstable type Kümmell’s disease

    Objective To compare the effectiveness between short segmental fixation combined with vertebroplasty (SSF+VP) and short segmental pedicle screw fixation combined with bone graft (SSF+BG) in the treatment of unstable type Kümmell’s disease so as to provide a reference for the selection of the surgical method. Methods Between March 2013 and February 2015, 48 patients with unstable type Kümmell’s disease who were in accordance with the inclusive criteria were included in the study. SSF+VP were used in 25 cases (SSF+VP group) and SSF+BG in 23 cases (SSF+BG group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, bone mineral density, fracture segment, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and kyphotic Cobb angle between 2 groups (P>0.05). The operation time and complications related to operation were recorded; the effectiveness was evaluated by VAS, ODI, and kyphotic Cobb angle. Results The operation time was (107.7±18.8) minutes in SSF+VP group and was (113.7±22.4) minutes in SSF+BG group, showing no significant difference between 2 groups (t=–1.045,P=0.302). Bone cement leakage occurred in 6 cases of SSF+VP group, and incision delayed healing occurred in 1 case of SSF+BG group. All patients achieved bone graft fusion on X-ray films. The bone graft fusion time was (15.1±1.3) weeks in SSF+VP group and (15.7±1.8) weeks in SSF+BG group, showing no significant difference between 2 groups (t=–1.361,P=0.180). The VAS, ODI, and kyphotic Cobb angle at immediate after operation and at last follow-up were significantly lower than preoperative ones (P<0.05). The VAS, ODI, and kyphotic Cobb angle had no significant difference between at immediate and at last follow-up in SSF+VP group (P>0.05). In SSF+BG group, VAS at last follow-up was significantly lower than that at immediate after operation (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found in kyphotic Cobb angle and ODI (P>0.05). SSF+VP group was significantly better than SSF+BG group in VAS at immediate after operation (P<0.05), but SSF+BG group was significantly better than SSF+VP group at last follow-up (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in kyphotic Cobb angle and ODI between 2 groups at immediate after operation and at last follow-up (P>0.05). Conclusion SSF+BG can achieve satisfactory effectiveness in the treatment of unstable type Kümmell’s disease, and it has the advantages of good bony healing, obvious improvement of pain, and low complication incidence when compared with SSF+VP.

  • Posterior short-segment fixation including the fractured vertebra for severe unstable thoracolumbar fractures

    Objective To discuss the effectiveness of posterior short-segment fixation including the fractured vertebra for severe unstable thoracolumbar fractures using pedicle screw fixation. Methods Between May 2008 and July 2013, 52 patients of severe unstable thoracolumbar fractures were treated through posterior short-segment fixation including the fractured vertebra using pedicle screw fixation. There were 33 males and 19 females with an age of 21-56 years (mean, 37.9 years). The causes of thoracolumbar burst fractures included fall from height in 32 cases, traffic accidents in 16 cases, and others in 4 cases. The load sharing classification (LSC) score was 7-9 (mean, 7.85). The levels involved included T11 in 4 cases, T12 in 19 cases, L1 in 25 cases, and L2 in 4 cases. According to Frankel classification, there were 2 cases of grade A, 4 cases of grade B, 8 cases of grade C, 11 cases of grade D, and 27 cases of grade E. The rate of spinal canal occupying was 24.2%-76.7% (mean, 47.1%). The time from injury to operation was 3-5 days (mean, 3.6 days). The effectiveness was assessed by the changes of injured vertebral Cobb angle, anterior vertebral height, and the Frankel grading at pre- and post-operation. Results The operation time was 85-127 minutes (mean, 106.5 minutes). The intraoperative blood loss was 90-155 mL (mean, 137.6 mL). All the incision healed at first intension. Forty-seven patients were followed up 19-27 months (mean, 23.2 months), and no incision infection, screw loosening, or other internal fixation failures was found during follow-up. The injured vertebral Cobb angle and anterior vertebral height at immediate after operation or at last follow-up were significantly improved when compared with preoperative values (P<0.001). There was a loss of injured vertebral Cobb angle and anterior vertebral height at last follow-up, but no significant difference was found between at immediate after operation and at last follow-up (P>0.05). The Frankel grade improved by 0-2 grades at last follow-up, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative grades (Z=15.980, P=0.003). Conclusion Posterior short-segment fixation including the fractured vertebra for severe unstable thoracolumbar fractures (LSC≥7) using pedicle screw fixation can correct the kyphosis deformity, restore vertebral body height, and aviod the need of anterior reconstruction.

  • Effectiveness of posterior short-segmental fixation with bone cement augmentation for stage Ⅲ Kümmell’s disease with spinal canal stenosis

    Objective To investigate the effectiveness of posterior short-segmental fixation with bone cement augmentation in treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell’s disease with spinal canal stenosis. Methods Between June 2012 and January 2017, 36 patients with stage Ⅲ Kümmell’s disease and spinal canal stenosis were treated by posterior short-segmental fixation and bone cement augmentation. There were 12 males and 24 females, aged 55-83 years (mean, 73.5 years). The disease duration ranged from 2 to 8 months, with an average of 4.6 months. Preoperative bone mineral density examination showed that all patients had different degrees of osteoporosis in the spines. The lesion segments included T10 in 4 cases, T11 in 7 cases, T12 in 8 cases, L1 in 9 cases, and L2 in 8 cases. The preoperative neural function was classified as grade B in 4 cases, grade C in 12 cases, grade D in 13 cases, and grade E in 7 cases according to Frankle classification. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and the volume of injected bone cement, and hospital stay were recorded. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), kyphotic Cobb angle, and the height of anterior edge of injured vertebra were recorded before operation, at 1 week after operation, and at last follow-up; and the leakage of bone cement was observed. Results All operations were completed successfully. The operation time was 90-145 minutes (mean, 110.6 minutes); the intraoperative blood loss was 198-302 mL (mean, 242.5 mL); the volume of injected bone cement was 8.3-10.5 mL (mean, 9.2 mL); the hospital stays were 7-12 days (mean, 8.3 days). All patients were followed up 12-26 months (mean, 24.5 months). At 1 week after operation, the neural function was classified as grade B in 2 cases, grade C in 8 cases, grade D in 12 cases, and grade E in 14 cases, which was significantly improved when compared with that before operation (Z=2.000, P=0.047). The VAS score, ODI, the height of anterior edge of injured vertebra, and Cobb angle were significantly improved at 1 week and last follow-up when compared with preoperative values (P<0.05); but there was no significant difference between 1 week and last follow-up (P>0.05). Two cases had asymptomatic cement leakage to the intervertebral disc at 1 week after operation; and 1 case had adjacent vertebral fracture at 8 months after operation. No complication such as loosening or breaking of internal fixator occurred during the follow-up. Conclusion Posterior short-segmental fixation with bone cement augmentation is a safe and effective surgical scheme for stage Ⅲ Kümmell’s disease combined with spinal canal stenosis, which can avoid the aggravation of nerve injury and complications related to staying in bed.

  • Effectiveness of short fusion versus long fusion for degenerative scoliosis with a Cobb angle of 20-40° combined with spinal stenosis

    ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of decompression and short fusion or long fusion for degenerative scoliosis (DS) with a Cobb angle of 20-40° combined with spinal stenosis.MethodsThe clinical data of 50 patients with DS who were treated with decompression combined with short fusion or long fusion between January 2015 and May 2017 were retrospectively analysed. Patients were divided into long fusion group (fixed segments>3, 23 cases) and short fusion group (fixed segments≤3, 27 cases). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, and preoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score of leg pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI), thoracic kyphosis (TK), thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK), pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic title (PT), and sacral slope (SS) between the two groups (P>0.05); however, the VAS score of low back pain, Cobb angle, and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) in long fusion group were significantly higher than those in short fusion group (P<0.05), and the lumbar lordosis (LL) was significantly lower than that in short fusion group (t=2.427, P=0.019). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy times, hospital stay, and complications were recorded and compared. The VAS scores of low back pain and leg pain and ODI score were used to evaluate the clinical outcomes before operation and at last follow-up. X-ray films of the whole spine in standard standing position were taken before operation, at 6 months after operation, and at last follow-up, and the spino-pelvic parameters were measured.ResultsThe operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and fluoroscopy times in the short fusion group were significantly less than those in the long fusion group (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in hospital stay between the two groups (t=0.933, P=0.355). The patients were followed up 12-46 months with an average of 22.3 months. At last follow-up, the VAS scores of low back pain and leg pain and ODI score significantly improved when compared with those before operation (P<0.05). Except for the improvement of VAS score of low back pain (t=8.332, P=0.000), the differences of the improvements of the other scores between the two groups were not significant (P>0.05). The Cobb angle, SVA, TLK, and PT significantly decreased, while SS and LL significantly increased in the long fusion group (P<0.05), while the Cobb angle and PT significantly decreased and SS significantly increased in the short fusion group at last follow-up (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in spino-pelvic parameters between the two groups at 6 months after operation and at last follow-up (P>0.05). The improvements of Cobb angle, SVA, LL, PT, and SS in the long fusion group were significantly higher than those in the short fusion group at last follow-up (P<0.05). There was no perioperative death in both groups. The incidence of complications in the long fusion group was 34.8% (8/23), which was significantly higher than that in the short fusion group [11.1% (3/27)] (χ2=4.056, P=0.034).ConclusionThe DS patients with the Cobb angle of 20-40°can achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes and improve the spino-pelvic parameters by choosing appropriate fixation levels. Short fusion has less surgical trauma and fewer complications, whereas long fusion has more advantages in enhancing spino-pelvic parameters and relieving low back pain.

  • Comparison of short-segment and long-segment bone cement-augmented fixation combined with vertebroplasty in treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell disease

    ObjectiveTo compare the effectiveness of short-segment and long-segment bone cement-augmented fixation combined with vertebroplasty in treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell disease.MethodsA clinical data of 44 patients with stage Ⅲ Kümmell disease met the selection criteria between January 2014 and December 2017 was retrospectively analyzed. Eighteen cases were treated with short-segment bone cement-augmented fixation combined with vertebroplasty (short-segment group) and 26 cases were treated with long-segment bone cement-augmented fixation combined with vertebroplasty (long-segment group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, fracture segment, bone mineral density (T value), Frankle grading, and preoperative pain visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Oswestry disability index (ODI), anterior edge height of injured vertebrae, kyphosis Cobb angle, and thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK) between the two groups (P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, bone cement injection volume, bone cement leakage rate, VAS score, ODI, anterior edge height of injured vertebrae, kyphosis Cobb angle, and TLK were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe operation time and the intraoperative blood loss in the short- segment group were significant lower than those in the long-segment group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in bone cement injection volume and bone cement leakage rate between the two groups (P>0.05). All patients were followed up 12-36 months, with an average of 24.4 months. The VAS score, ODI, anterior edge height of injured vertebrae, kyphosis Cobb angle, and TLK significantly improved at 1 week after operation and last follow-up in the two groups (P<0.05), there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). At last follow-up, the neurological function of the two groups recovered, and there was no significant difference in Frankle grading between the two groups (P>0.05). There were 3 cases (16.67%) of non-surgical vertebral fractures in the short-segment group and 6 cases (23.08%) in the long-segment group, showing no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Bone rejection occurred in 1 case in the short-segment group, and neither internal fixation failure nor collapse of the injured vertebrae occurred during follow-up.ConclusionBoth short-segment and long-segment bone cement-augmented fixation combined with vertebroplasty can achieve good effectiveness in treatment of stage Ⅲ Kümmell disease, and can maintain the height of the injured vertebra and prevent the collapse of the injured vertebra. Compared with long-segment fixation, short-segment fixation has the advantages of shorter operation time and less intraoperative bleeding.
