ADVANTAGES OF İNTERNAL FIXATOR IN SHORT SEGMENTED VERTEBRAE FRACTURE CAUSING KYPHOSIS DEFORMITY
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1991, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The advantages of using internal fixator to other types of osteosynthesis instruments is dedected. Abiiity îo cor-rect kyphosis and making distraction properties of internal fixator are the factors that provide the superiority of it. İt is possible to restore the kyphosis by corrective distraction with axial rotation of rods which are necessarily curved and montaged. But during this rotation pressure of rods to the fractured posterior elements of vertebrae is unavoidable. İn addition if the hooks proximal and distal to the fracture are single the rotation will have no effect of correcting the kyphosis. By using internal fixator the restoration of deformity easily be done with the iever arm System and without pressure to the posterior fractured elements.
