Abstract
Objective. To analyze results of surgical and brace treatment of eosinophilic granuloma of the spine.
Material and Methods. Seventy two patients with pathologic vertebral fractures associated with eosinophilic granuloma of the spine were treated; brace treatment was performed in 42, and surgical – in 30 patients.
Results. All surgically treated patients showed good results. Infectious complications and device instability were not observed. Anterior fusion was achieved within 12 to 16 weeks after surgery, which allowed returning a patient to active life. There were no postoperative neurological disorders. Brace treatment in most cases provided partial repair of the affected vertebral body due to its immobilization and unloading.
Conclusion. Brace treatment does not result in complete restoration of the affected vertebral body. Surgical treatment allows reducing treatment duration and quickly returning a patient to the active life.
