前路钢板固定结合钛网自体骨加异体骨移植治疗颈椎骨折

目的观察钛网容纳自体骨加异体松质骨结合钛钢板内固定治疗颈椎骨折的临床效果。方法采用钛网容纳自体骨加异体松质骨,结合钢板内固定治疗颈椎骨折42例。结果随访4～28个月,平均随访17个月,按JOA评分标准进行术前术后神经功能评定;根据手术前后颈椎X线片判断颈椎生理曲度的恢复,钛网有无下沉、移位及骨融合情况。围手术期无明显并发症,脊髓功能有不同程度改善,颈椎生理曲度部分或全部恢复,钛网无下沉、移位,钢板及螺钉无松动,术后3.5个月开始出现融合迹象,术后1年骨融合良好。结论颈椎骨折采用前路颈椎钢板固定技术结合钛网自体骨加异体松质骨移植治疗,颈椎生理曲度得到恢复,术后颈椎即时稳定性好,通过自体椎体开槽减压取骨加异体骨植骨,避免了髂骨取骨所带来的损伤及手术时间的延长,骨融合率高,患者康复快。

Treatment of cervical spine fractures by anterior plates with titanium mesh and bone graft

Objective To observe the clinical effects of anterior plates with titanium mesh and bone graft (auto and allo) in treatment of cervical spine fractures. Methods 42 cases of fractures of cervical spine treated with anterior plates with titanium mesh. Results The bone graft (auto and allo) were followed up for 4 to 28 months (mean 17 months). The preoperative and postoperative nerve functions were evaluated according to JOA criteria. The cervical curvatures, sink or shift of the mesh and bone fusion were evaluated by X rays. There were no significant complications during perioperative periods. The functions of spinal cord were improved, the cervical curvatures were restored, and no sinking or shifting of the mesh was observed. There was also no loosening of plate or screw. The fusion began 3.5 months postoperatively, and a good fusion could be observed 1 year postoperatively. Conclusion By application of anterior plates with titanium mesh and bone graft (auto and allo) in treatment of cervical spine fractures, the cervical curvature and stability can be restored, the iliac lesion and long operation duration caused by the harvest from ilium can be avoided, better fusion and quicker recovery can be obtained.
