Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of minimally invasive percutaneous pedicle screw osteosynthesis (MIPPSO) and traditional open pedicle screw osteosynthesis (TOPSO) in the treatment of thoracolumbar vertebra fracture. A retrospective case-control study was cond­ucted in 120 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral fractures treated in the Affiliated Jiangyin Hospital of Southeast University Medical School (Jiangyin, China) from January 2013 to September 2014. They were randomly divided into two groups: MIPPSO and TOPSO groups with 60 cases in each group. The operation time, blood loss, incision length, post-operative bed rest time, hospital stay, visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores and Oswestry disability index (ODI) scores before and after operation were recorded and analyzed. Inflammatory indexes including serum C-reactive protein (CRP) and creatine kinase (CK), the anterior vertebral height ratio and kyphosis Cobb's angle changes were also observed. The basic data of the two groups were similar, and there was no significant difference in the operation time between the two groups. The perioperative blood loss, length of incision, bed rest time and total hospital stay in the minimally invasive group were less than those in the open group. Levels of post‑operative inflammation indicators such as CRP and CK were significantly higher than those of pre-operative (P<0.05), which was more obvious in the TOPSO group (P<0.05). VAS, ODI scores, anterior vertebral height and Cobb's angle were significantly improved at three days, one and 12 months after surgery compared with those before operation. MIPPSO for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures can achieve similar clinical effects with traditional incision surgery. In addition, it has the advantages of less trauma, less bleeding and shorter post-operative bed rest time and hospital stay.
