Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the effect of vertebroplasty combined with pedicle screw fixation on functional recovery in patients with thoracolumbar fracture.

Methods

A total of 96 patients with thoracolumbar spine fractures admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December 2018 were selected and randomly divided into a single group (48 cases) and a combined group (48 cases). The single group was treated with pedicle screw fixation, while the combined group was treated with vertebra plasty. The recovery, pain and dysfunction indexes of the injured vertebrae in the two groups before and after surgery were observed and compared. The indexes related to serum nerve function in the two groups before and after surgery were detected and compared, and the incidence of postoperative adverse events in the two groups were recorded.

Results

Three days after surgery, there was no significant difference in the recovery of injured vertebrae between the two groups (P>0.05). On postoperative 3 d, there was no significant difference in Visual Analogue Scale/Score (VAS) and Oswestry Dability Index (ODI) scores between the two groups (P>0.05). Three months after surgery, VAS and ODI scores of the combined group were significantly lower than those of the single group (P<0.05). On postoperative day 3, there was no significant difference in the levels of neuron specific enolase (NSE), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), S100 and Nerve growth factor (NGF) between the two groups (P>0.05). NSE, S100 beta and NGF levels were significantly lower in the single group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the combined group was significantly lower than that in the single group (P<0.05).

Conclusion

vertebroplasty combined with pedicle screw internal fixation to thoracolumbar fracture of spine can effectively improve the recovery of vertebral body after surgery, reduce postoperative pain and dysfunction, improve postoperative neurological function, and reduce the incidence of adverse events.
