Abstract

Harrington instrumentation and spinal fusion surgery performed 1-90 days after injury in 15 patients who had severe lumbar fractur- dislocations between 1974 and 1978. This report discusses instrumentation and fusion methods, reduction and stabilisation, neurologic recovery rates and hospitalisation period after this surgery. The follow-up period after the operation was 21 months. Reduction and stabilisation were performed immediately within 12 hours after injury. Conservative and surgical treatment results were similar in complicated patients with neurological findings. But, it can be stated that neurological recovery after spinal iscemia was obtained in patients who operated in first 8 hours, and also hospitalisation period was shorter than conservatively treated patients.

Özet

İdiopatik skolyozu olan 1974-1978 yılları arasında bel kemiğinin ciddi kırık-çıkıklarından muzdarip 15 hastada, kazadan sonraki ilk 1-90 gün içinde Harrington enstrümantasyonu ve spinal füzyon ameliyatı uygulanmıştır. Bu rapor, enstrümantasyon ve füzyon metodu, redüksiyon ve stabilizasyonun yeri nörolojik şifa sağlanabilme imkanları ve hastanede geçen gün sayısı bakımlarından ameliyatın bir değerlendirmesini yapmaktadır. Ameliyattan sonraki takip süresi ortalama 21 ay olarak kaydedilmiştir. Redüksiyon ve stabilizasyon travmadan kısa bir süre sonra yani ilk 12 saat içinde uygulanmıştır. Nörolojik bulgularla komplike vakalarda, konservatif ve cerrahi metotlarla tedavi edilen vakaların mukayesesinde, nörolojik şifa yönünden iki metotdan biri veya diğeri lehine bir artış kaydedildiği söylenemez. Ancak ilk 8 saat içinde cerrahi müdehale edilen, spinal iskemiye bağlı nörolojik bozuklukların süratle gerilediği ve şifanın sağladığı, diğer taraftan ameliyat edilen vakaların kısa sürede yatağı ve hastaneyi terkedebildiğini önemle belirtmek yerinde olur.
