Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1991, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
35 cases of thoracal and lumbar spine fractures were surgically treated in Çukurova University Hospital. Of these cases, 23 were males and 12 were females. Mean age was 30.2 years (range 16-55). The etiologic factors were blunt trauma in 1(3%), traffic accident in 19(54%), and fail from height in 15(43%) cases. Fracture types ac cording to Deniş' classification were as follovvs: compression fractures in 1(2.8%,), burst fractures in 21(60%), and fracture-dislocations in 13(37.2%) cases. We used Luque rods, Harrington rods (alone or segmentally fixed), Hartshill rectangles, and Isola system with preference of Harrington distraction system in axial loading injuries. The number of cases that were followed more than 6 months were 23 and the mean follow-up for these cases was 16.2 months (range 6-35). Although we obtained meanly 52.7%, correction of kyphosis in early post-operative period, and the overall loss of correction in kyphosis angle was 2.8° in the last follow-up.
