system. Methods From July 2004 to July 2007, 186 patients of thoracolumbar fractures were underwent open
reduction and pedicle screw fixation at Cangzhou Central Hospital. Among them, 100 patients treated with
transpedicular intracorporeal grafting (A group), and 86 treated with transposterolateral grafting (B group). The
vertebral compression rate, the improvement of clinical symptoms and postoperative complications were
compared between two groups. Results In A group, patients were followed up from 24 to 30 months, with the
average of 28.4 months; in B group, patients were followed up from 24 to 38 months with the average of 28.0
months. The vertebral compression rate at preoperation, postoperation and 18 months after operation was (38.2
16.1)% , (2.4 1.7)% , and (3.7 1.6)% respectively in A group, the differences among them had statistical
significance (P 0.05); the vertebral compression rate at preoperation, postoperation and 18 months after
operation was (37.3 13.8)%, (9. 8 5.3)% and (18.4 8.7)% respectively in B group, the differences among
them had statistical significance (P 0.05). Between A and B groups, the preoperative vertebral compression rate
was similar (P 0.05), while the vertebral compression rate at postoperation as well as 18 months after the
surgery in A group were lower than those in B group (P 0.05). During the follow-up, all patients who had
neurological symptoms before the surgery got relieved obviously. At 18 months after the surgery, there was no
screw or rod broken, and no fixation loosening in A group, while in B group, there had internal fixation broken
in 2 cases. At the same time, CT scan results showed that intracorporeal graft had stuffed completely, and not
been absorbed in A group, with 4 cases of pedicular broken and thicken but none of them had obvious radicular
symptoms; In B group, we could see vertebral cavity in all patients. Conclusion For thoracolumbar fractures,
transpedicular intracoporeal grafting based on pedicle fixation can get ideal clinical effects because it can restore
vertebral height instantly and maintain the height during a long term, and it also can decrease the incidence of
complications such as internal fixation loosening or rupture.
