INJURIES OF THE THORACIC AND LUMBAR SPINE
https://doi.org/10.14531/ss2008.2.94-114
Abstract
This paper extends the analytical review of surgical treatment for thoracic and lumbar spine injuries, which are one of the most crucial problems of the modern spine medicine. It presents consequent grounds for indications and choice of optimal conservative or surgical treatment of patients with thoracic and lumbar spine injuries. Biomechanical reasoning behind the surgical stabilization of injured segments in the thoracic and lumbar spine is disclosed. Issues of the posterior stabilization of the spine and transpedicular fixation technique are discussed in detail. Anterior methods of surgical intervention are described. The peculiarities of surgical treatment of thoracic and lumbar vertebral body fractures in osteoporosis using percutaneous vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are presented. The paper is concluded with issues of surgical treatment of the most severe chronic injuries of the thoracic and lumbar spine with unreduced high-grade deformity.
