THE BALANCE PROBLEM OF PATIENTS TREATED WITH ANTERIOR FUSION İN POTT’S DISEASE
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1992, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
This is a retrospective analysis of the clinical results and radiographs of 32 patients with Pott's disease treated with anterior fussion in terms of stability. The fallow-up period was with a mean of 32 months (range, 6-66 months). There were gibbosity in ali of ourpatients postoperativly. We observed loss of correction with a mean of 4.5 degrees postoperativly in 24 of our patients. During fallow up, it was observed that bone grafts were ali reabsorbed and could not maintain stability adequetly. To prevent the development of unstability and gibbosity that we observed during fallow up because of loss of correction, increase in local kyphosis angle and reabsorption of bone grafts we recommend stabilization with instrumentation from either anterior or posterior at the same step or further especially in children and young adults.
