Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1990, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Between 1986 and 1990 three patients with neurologic deficit because of lomber vertabrate fracture were operated inOrthophaedics Department of S.B. Ankara Hst. and S.B. Haseki Hst.Istanbul. The cases were prepared to surgical procedure within 6-24-36 hours separetely, and followed -up to one year. The type of the fractures were determined, by x-ray and CAT scans,. The criterium were the degree of the deficit according to the Frankel classification, the response to the Bulbocaverneuse Reflex and the obstruction of the neural canal. The technique applied was neural decomppression combined with classical Dual Harrington Distraction Rods.
