Effect of minimally invasive spinal internal fixation system on patients with thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury

Abstract

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of minimally invasive spinal internal fixation system on thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury. Methods Seventy-eight patients with thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury who were treated in Linfen People’s Hospital from January 2015 to August 2017 were selected as research objects, and they were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 39 cases in each group. Patients in control group underwent open pedicle screw fixation, while patients in observation group were treated by minimally invasive spinal internal fixation system. The clinical efficacy, quality of life and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with control group, the observation group had shorter operation time, less bleeding volume, higher quality of life scores, and there were significant differences between the groups (P 0.05). Conclusions Minimally invasive spinal internal fixation system has great clinical effects on thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury, which is conductive to improvement in quality of life of patients, with low incidence of complications. Key words: Thoracolumbar fracture without nerve injury; Minimally invasive spinal internal fixation system; Quality of life; Complications
