Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction01:29

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

40
Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...

    Summary

    Pedicle screw fixation effectively treats thoracolumbar fractures by correcting kyphosis and reducing pain. This method offers safe and reliable spinal stabilization for traumatic vertebral injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Spinal Surgery
    • Traumatology

    Background:

    • Intermediate screws in fractured vertebrae act as pressure points, correcting kyphosis and providing three-point fixation.
    • This mechanism reduces the lever effect in spinal trauma management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of non-pathologic traumatic thoracolumbar spine fractures treated with instrumentation.
    • To describe the clinical course following surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 37 patients (T9-L4) operated between 2008-2012.
    • Patients included 28 males and 9 females with a mean age of 41.8 years.

    Main Results:

    • Restoring spinal canal diameter increased neurologic improvement by 2.11 times.

  • Autologous grafts showed a relative fusion risk of 0.97 compared to heterologous grafts.
  • Instrumentation of the fractured vertebra had a relative risk of 1.18 for fusion.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pedicle screw fixation at the fracture level is a safe and effective treatment for thoracolumbar fractures.
    • It aids in fracture reduction, kyphosis correction, and pain management.
    • Indications include an intact posterior ligament complex and at least one intact pedicle.
