English Abstract:
  【Abstract】 Objective:To explore the clinical effect of anteroposterior integration fixation(APIF) by using self-designed posterior lateral nail-stick system for thoracolumbar disorders.Method:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 12 patients with spine disorders(including 2 tumor,2 tuberculosis,5 burst fracture and 3 old fracture),of these,9 cases were complicated with thoracolumbar kyphosis,with the mean preoperative Cobb angle of 15.9°±3.6°(range,12°-22°),and 8 cases had neurofunction deficit.The pain status(VAS),kypjosis correction(Cobb),neurofunction improvement(Frankel) and complication were reviewed.Result:All cases were followed up for an average of 6.8 months(range,4-10 months),pain relief was achieved in all cases with the postoperative VAS score decreasing to 3.8±1.0 compared with preoperative 7.8±0.9(P<0.01).The postoperative Cobb angle decreased to 0.9°±2.9°,which showed significant difference compared with preoperative ones(P<0.01).All except 1 had neurofunction improved at least 1 level.No instrument failure was noted at follow-up.Conclusion:Anteroposterior integration fixation by posterolateral nail-stick system is reliable for thoracolumbar disorders.
