THE POSSIBILITIES OF EXTERNAL TRANSPEDICULAR FIXATOR IN SPINE DEFORMITY CORRECTION
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2005.4.20-24
Abstract
Objective. To define the most effective assemblies of external transpedicular fixator for correction of kyphotic and scoliotic deformities of the spine.
Material and Methods. Treatment results in 108 adolescents with different kinds of III–IV degree scoliosis and kyphosis were studied. The spine deformation degree was assessed in accordance with V.D. Chaklin’ classification. Neurological examination have shown the absence of major neurological disorders. Deformation correction was performed with device consisting of transpedicularrods which were fixed to anchorage plates and coupled into support bases.
Results. The application of the fixator with additional lateral traction is optimal to correct C-shaped scoliosis and the frame with damping device allows correcting the curvatures of S-shaped deformities within a short time, in some cases even hypercorrection can be achieved. The application of additional fixing rod is fruitful in kyphosis correction.
Conclusion. The application of the external transpedicular fixator under radiological and clinical control allows the correction of various spine deformities without neurological deficit with the account of spine biomechanics.
