C.D. INSTRUMENTATION İN UNSTABLE THORACOLUMBAR VERTEBRAL FRACTURES
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1991, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
We applied CD intumentation in our clinic our clinic betvveen 1989-1992. There were 20 male, 10 female pa-tient. The youngest age was 17 the oldest was 54 (mean 32). The operation is applied as soon as possible. The average follow-up period is 15 months. We applied the instrumentation in 29 of cases as 4 pedicular screws, 2 rods and2 DDT system. We never used hook. Results of them have good. We didn't use DDTsystem in our first case. We couldn't observe the perfect resuit with it. İn the end of this study we believe that CD instrumentation is a good choice if the decision of stability made perfect. As the results of industrialism, fast-life and increase in population, we see the fractures of spine more often these days. So that, new efforts are made and our knovvledge becomes much more, and the best choice in treat-ment is tried to be improved. Definition in vertebral fractures is highly important. Except penetran injuries, we ac-cept the fractures with neurological deficit, the body of vertebrae which has a collapse of more than 50%, the ky-phosis angle of över 20° which is determined and according to Dennis's classification as the burst fractures in whic at ieast two columns are affected, are called unstable fractures. Nowadey, we know that the unstable fractures must treath with surgery. Morbidity and mortality is lessened im-portantly as the resuit of an urgent decompression and rigit internal fixation that provide early mobilization and re-habilitation. The fixation implements which are used vary in accordance with the surgeon's choice. We used CD instrumentation in our clinic.
