Abstract
Purpose: The objective is to study the rate of fusion of type B thoracolumbar fractures occurring in patients with an ankylosed spine and treated by monosegmental percutaneous osteosynthesis.
Methods: We report 43 patients who underwent a mono-segmental screw fixation in this indication, between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2023, at the University Hospital of Nancy, with follow up at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. A CT scan was done at each post operative control and fusion was evaluated.
Results: Of the 43 included patients, 41 had complete fusion at 12 months (95%) and 2 (5%) had fractures that did not consolidate. We had not any displacement of screws or rods. 29 men (67%) and 14 women (33%). The average age was 70.6 ± 11.5 years. Hospitalization duration averaged 10.7 ± 9.4 days (range 2-49), with a median of 7 days. Ten patients had medical complications during hospitalization stay (23%).
Conclusion: Mono-segmental percutaneous osteosynthesis could enable fracture consolidation at 12 months in patients with thoracolumbar type B fractures and had ankylosed spine.
期刊介绍:
"European Spine Journal" is a publication founded in response to the increasing trend toward specialization in spinal surgery and spinal pathology in general. The Journal is devoted to all spine related disciplines, including functional and surgical anatomy of the spine, biomechanics and pathophysiology, diagnostic procedures, and neurology, surgery and outcomes. The aim of "European Spine Journal" is to support the further development of highly innovative spine treatments including but not restricted to surgery and to provide an integrated and balanced view of diagnostic, research and treatment procedures as well as outcomes that will enhance effective collaboration among specialists worldwide. The “European Spine Journal” also participates in education by means of videos, interactive meetings and the endorsement of educative efforts.
