RESULTS OF TREATMENT OF THORACOLUMBAR FRACTURES BY PEDICLE SCREWS (ALICI SPİNAL INSTRUMENTATİON)
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1992, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
İn this study, we peresent 48 thoracolumbar spinal fractures treated by "Alıcı Spinal Instrumentation" at the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Karadeniz Technlcal University, Faculty of Medicine, between the dates October 1989 andJanuary 1994. Ourcases (32 male, 16female, theyoungest 18, the oldest 61-mean 33.2-years old) were followed up for minimum 16 and maximum 50 months (mean 30 months). Preoperative and posto-perative neurological evaluation was performed according to classification of Frankel et al. The assesment of the spinal canal by CT relieved a restoration mean of 48%. We consider that the results of "Alıcı Interpedicular Screw“ fixation system are rather satisfactory because accurate reduction of fracture is obtained by rigid fixation. Another advantage is the fixation of a short segment.
