Abstract
Thirty-four patients aged from 3 to 17 years were operated on for noncomplicated unstable injuries of the spine. The operation was performed within the next few hours or days after trauma in 15 cases and significantly later (in 2 to 6 months) in 19 cases. In the first group the surgery included indirect posterior instrumental reduction and stabilization of the spine. In the second group a two-stage surgery was performed simultaneously. The first stage included anterior decompression and stabilization, and the second – posterior instrumentation. In both groups the posterior fusion with bone autograft was done. The post-op follow-up was 5 years. The correction of deformity, spinal stabilization and pain arrest were achieved in all cases. The surgical treatment of unstable noncomplicated spinal injuries in children must be conducted by emergency indications within the first hours and days after trauma.
