Abstract

Introduction: The early and long-term changes in the sagittal plane of Thoracolumbar (TL) vertebra fractures, which received posterior instrumentation, were examined. Material and Methods: Between the years 1998-2004 15 patients (11 males, 4 females) were operated on for TL. The average age was 34.6 (16–57). The average follow up period was 8.43 (5-11) years. Posterior pedicle screws with fixation rods were applied with distraction and fusion to all patients. Sagittal plane measurements were taken radiologically preoperatively (Group 1), early postoperatively (Group 2) and late postoperatively (Group 3). Fractured vertebra local kyphosis angle (LKA), anterior compression angle (ACA), anterior (F) and posterior (E) colon heights of fractured vertebra were measured and compared. Results: Significant diff erences between the averages of LKA, ACA, E/F scores of Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3 were found (p < 0.001). The average LKA measurements were 12.63°, 0.21°, 6.92° (p < 0.001), and for ACA: 14.13°, 5.83°, 6.25° (p < 0.001) respectively. While there was a significant difference between the averages of LKA, E/F of Group 2 and Group 3 (p < 0.05), no statistical difference was found after comparing the average ACA angle (p = 0,753). While there was no significant change in E for all groups (p > 0.05), the increase in F after surgery was considered significant (p < 0.05), and no diff erence was observed between the averages of Group 2 and Group 3 (p > 0.05). VAS was 2.73 (0-5). Conclusion: At the end of an average 8-year follow up period of posterior TL fractures, no difference was found between the early and late period measurements of ACA and anterior height. Although LKA showed a statistical loss in height, the correction degree achieved in the late period was found to be significantly higher than preop.

Özet

Amaç: Torakolomber (TL) vertebra kırığı nedeniyle sadece posteriordan enstrümentasyon ve füzyon uygulanan hastaların sagittal planda erken ve geç postoperatif sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı. Yöntem: 1998-2004 yılları arasında TL vertebra kırığı nedeniyle 15 hasta (11 erkek, 4 kadın) opere edildi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı 34.6 (16-57) yıl idi. Tüm hastalara aynı seansta posterior pedikül vida ve rodları ile fiksasyon, kırık distraksiyonu ve füzyon uygulandı. Ortalama 8.43 (5-11) yıl takip edilen hastaların radyolojik olarak cerrahi öncesi (Grup 1), cerrahi sonrası erken (Grup 2) ve son kontrolde geç dönem (Grup 3) sagittal planda ölçümleri yapıldı. Kırık vertebra lokal kifoz açısı (LKA), anterior kompresyon açısı (AKA), kırık vertebra cismi anterior (F) ve posterior (E) yüksekliği ölçülüp karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: LKA sırası ile ortalama 12.63°, 0.21°, 6.92° (p 0.05). F de cerrahi sonrası artış anlamlı değerlendirilirken (p 0.05). Nörolojik durum 1 olguda belirgin düzelme gösterirken (Frankel B den E ye), diğer 14 olguda ilk hali ile kaldı. Son kontrolde implant yetmezliği %70 bulundu. GAC 3.73 (0-5) oldu. Sonuç: TL vertebra kırıklarının posteriordan cerrahi tedavisinin ortalama 8 yıllık takibinin sagittal plan analizi sonucunda AKA ve vertebra anterior cisim yüksekliğinde cerrahi sonrası erken ve geç dönem arasında fark bulunmadı. LKA da ise kayıp oluşmasına rağmen geç dönemde sağlanan düzelme derecesinin cerrahi öncesine göre anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu gösterildi.
