A Clinical Study On The Effect Of Self-made Spine Brace In Reatment Of Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture Without Nerve Injury

Objective:To observe the effects of self-made spine brace in treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture without nerve injury. Methods:30 cases treated by manipulative reduction and poking vertebral body bone graft angioplasty without neurological injury thoracolumbar burst fracture of vertebral body in recent 5 years were collected in this study.Their symptom of pain before and after operation was quantified by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). Their rates of vertebra compression and cobb's angles before and after operation were surveyed. The follow up period was 24 months. Compare the VAS scores and the image data before and after operation.Then estimate the clinical results of the treatment. Results:There was significant difference in the VAS scores and the rates of vertebra compression and the cobb's angles before and after operation. There was no significant difference in the rates of vertebra compression and the cobb's angles between after operation and follow up. Conclusion:A satisfactory result in relieving pain and rebounding vertebra could be achieved for those patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures by using the methods of manipulative reduction and poking vertebral body bone graft angioplasty with strict indications, carefully operation. And for the prevention of long-term effect is significant loss of vertebral height.
