Abstract：Objective To study and explore the clinical effect of internal fixation combined with vertebroplasty in patients with spinal fractures.Methods Totally 100 cases of spinal fracture,who were treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from Jan.2013 to May 2016,were selected and were divided into control group and observation group by computer random number grouping,with 50 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were treated with simple internal fixation,while the patients in the observation group were treated with internal fixation combined with vertebroplasty.The excellent and good rate of clinical treatment,anteroposterior height ratio,kyphotic angle,and Frankel function classification were compared between the two groups.Results The excellent and good rate of clinical treatment in the observation group was 94%,which was significantly higher than that in the control group (76%,P<0.05).The height ratio of the anterior margin of the injured vertebrae,the posterior margin height and the kyphotic angle were significantly improved in both groups and also had statistical differences between the two groups (P<0.05).The Frankel function recovery rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.05),and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The clinical effect of internal fixation combined with vertebroplasty in the treatment of spinal fractures is significant,which can effectively promote the vertebral height of the vertebral body and restore the normal function and improve the prognosis.
