导引通道辅助经皮置钉治疗无神经损伤胸腰椎骨折

目的 分析新型导引通道辅助经皮椎弓根置钉治疗无神经损伤胸腰椎骨折的手术时间、射线暴露时间及置钉准确性.方法 收集2010年7月至2012年10月采用新型导引通道辅助经皮椎弓根置钉技术治疗的35例无神经损伤胸腰椎骨折患者临床资料,同一术者共完成178枚椎弓根螺钉置钉.记录分析每枚椎弓根螺钉置人时间及术者射线暴露时间,根据术后连续2次手术节段CT扫描结果,对置钉准确性进行分级和评估.结果 本组置钉技术成功率为100％.单枚椎弓根螺钉平均置钉时间为(11.35±2.82) min,平均射线暴露时间为(8.06±2.15)s;156枚(87.64％)螺钉评定为A级,20枚螺钉(11.24％)为B级,1枚螺钉(0.56％)为C级,l枚螺钉(0.56％)为D级.结论 新型导引通道有助于辅助经皮椎弓根置钉过程中定位穿刺点,提高置钉准确性,明显减少置钉时间及射线暴露时间.

Guiding chunnel-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement for thoracolumbar vertebral fractures not accompanied by nerve injury

Objective To analyze the operation time,radiation exposure time and the screw placement accuracy of a newly-developed guiding chunnel-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement technique for thoracolumbar vertebral fractures not accompanied by nerve injury.Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with thoracolumbar vertebral fractures not accompanied by nerve injury,who were treated with newly-developed guiding chunnel-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement technique during the period from July 2010 to October 2012,were retrospectively analyzed.A total of 178 procedures of pedicle screw placement were performed in the 35 patients by the one and the same surgeon.The operation time and radiation exposure time of each pedicle screw placement procedure were recorded,and based on the findings of postoperative consecutive two CT scans of the operated vertebrae the screw placement accuracy was graded and evaluated.Results The technical success rate of screw placement was 100％.The mean time used for a single pedicle screw placement was (11.35±2.82) minutes,the average radiation exposure time was (8.06± 2.15) seconds.Screw placement accuracy of grade A was obtained in 156 screws (87.64％),grade B in 20 screws (11.24％),grade C in one screw (0.56％),and grade D in one screw (0.56％).Conclusion The newly-developed guiding chunnel-assisted percutaneous pedicle screw placement technique is very helpful in localizing the puncture point,in improving the screw placement accuracy,and in reducing both operation time and radiation exposure time.
