Clinical Observation of Vertebral Pillar Block Implantation through Vertebral Pedicle in Treatment of Thoracolumbar Vertebral Fractures
Abstract：Objective To explore the therapeutic effect of vertebral pillar block implantation through vertebral pedicle in treatment of thoracolumbar vertebral fractures. Methods The study involved 21patients(42 vertebral pillar blocks)with tho-racolumbar vertebral fractures without neurological deficit treated with vertebral pillar block implantation through vertebral ped-icle in our hospital. The ratio of vertebral height,Cobb angle,Visual analogue scale(VAS)and early postoperative recovery were evaluated. Results 21 patients were followed up for 10 ~ 24 months(mean 13. 7 months). The ratio of vertebral height, Cobb angle and VAS were significantly different(P ﹤ 0. 01). Conclusion Vertebral pillar block implantation can effectively restore the vertebral mechanical strength,reduce further loss of vertebral height. It is a safe and effective method for thoraco-lumbar vertebral fractures.
