Posterior pedicle screw fixation combined with transpedicular bone grafting for treatment of single-level thoracolumbar fractures with the aid of a vertebroplasty tool
Objective This study was performed to assess the efficacy of a novel tool to assist transpedicular bone grafting in short-segment pedicle screw fixation combined with pedicle fixation at the level of the fractured vertebra (six-screw fixation). Methods We retrospectively analyzed 80 patients (40 in...

| description | Objective This study was performed to assess the efficacy of a novel tool to assist transpedicular bone grafting in short-segment pedicle screw fixation combined with pedicle fixation at the level of the fractured vertebra (six-screw fixation). Methods We retrospectively analyzed 80 patients (40 in the control group and 40 in the tool-aided group) with single-level thoracolumbar fractures. Patients in the control group underwent traditional six-screw fixation combined with transpedicular bone grafting. In the tool-aided group, we introduced a novel vertebroplasty tool to assist transpedicular bone grafting. Basic information and related indicators were recorded. Results There were no significant differences in the patients’ baseline characteristics or surgical outcomes between the control group and tool-aided group. Both traditional surgery and tool-aided surgery restored the height of the fractured vertebrae and decreased the Cobb angle, visual analog scale score, and Oswestry Disability Index. However, tool-aided surgery more effectively restored the height of the fractured vertebrae and reduced the visual analog scale score and Oswestry Disability Index than did traditional surgery. Conclusion Vertebroplasty tool-aided surgery facilitated more precise and successful grafting of bone into damaged vertebrae than did traditional surgery and therefore might be recommended for treating single-level thoracolumbar fractures. |
