This study demonstrates a surgical technique for angular kyphosis using segmental transpedicled and ventrolateral implants, achieving stable spinal fusion with minimal impact on adjacent segments. The method proved effective in over 570 cases with no significant complications in long-term follow-ups.

Area of Science:

  • Spinal surgery
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • Angular kyphosis requires addressing both anterior and posterior spinal structures for effective treatment.
  • Traditional methods may involve extensive procedures and longer recovery times.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a surgical technique for angular kyphosis using segmental transpedicled and ventrolateral Instrumentation System implants.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of this method in achieving spinal decompression, correction, and stabilization.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized segmental transpedicled and ventrolateral Instrumentation System implants for spinal fixation.
  • Performed on over 570 patients with various kyphotic deformities (congenital, spondylitis, tumors, fractures) over five years.

  • Follow-up of 40 posttraumatic kyphosis patients for three to five years.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved permanent fixation with short compression spondylodesis and fusion times.
    • Pedicular anchorage and implant design preserved adjacent segment joints and ligamentum flavum.
    • No additional neurologic damage, pseudarthrosis, or substantial loss of correction observed in follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • The described surgical technique offers a reliable method for treating angular kyphosis.
    • The Instrumentation System provides stable fixation, shortens fusion time, and minimizes impact on healthy spinal segments.
    • Long-term follow-up indicates a low complication rate and sustained correction for posttraumatic kyphosis.
