胸腰つい，腰つい部における陳旧性粉砕骨折に対する手術的治療

Abstract

Diagnosis and operative treatment for nine old burst fractures of thoracolumbar spine are reported. Weakness of the injured vertebral body resulted in kyphotic deformity, and caused lumbago and neurological deficits. We aimed at decompression of the spinal canal, correction of kyphotic deformity and fixed fusion. So We operated on these cases by means of anterior interbody fusion and posterior spinal fusion using Harrington instrumentation.
