Abstract
Objectives. To analyze the causes of late inflammatory complications in patients operated on for spinal deformities. Material and Methods. A total of 205 patients of different ages with spine deformities were operated on. Deformity correction was performed through posterior approach with two-plate endocorrector «Medilar» (60 patients) and LSZ (145 patients). Patients were examined by clinical, radiological, histological, and microbiological methods. Results. In 8 patients (13.3 %) from the «Medilar» group late pyogenic complications developed in 3 to 10 months after operation; in the LSZ group similar complications were observed only in 3 patients (2.1 %). Conclusion. Application of LSZ endocorrector made of highly purified Titanium low profile alloy, avoiding soft tissues damage during instrumentation, operation time shortening, and blood loss reduction resulted in a decrease in late inflammatory complication rate from 13.3 % to 2.1 %.
