STABILIZATION OF ANTERIOR INSTABILITIES BY POSTERIOR INSTRUMENTATION
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1992, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Spinal lesions like fractures, neoplasiae and infections decrease the mechanical resistance of the individual vertebrae and are likely to produce kyphosis, scoliosis or a combination of both vvhich may produce pain, disability and neurological compromise. Betvveen the years of 1988-1993, 43 patients (17 F, 26 M) were admitted to the Marmara University School of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology with the diagnosis of anterior instability. Posterior fixation with mainly transpedicular screvvs ad combined hooks were performed in every case. A total of 234 screws and 71 hooks were appiied. At the last control, the following resuits were obtained. 26 patients (60,5 %) were rated to have excellent resuits, 14 patients (32 %) good, 3 patients (7 %) fair resuits. There were no bad resuits.
