Variants of Spine Osteosyntesis at Low Mineral Density of Bone

Abstract

The analysis of the results of transpedicular screw fixation in the treatment of patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures was done. In the first group (N=27) the polysegmental transpedicular screw fixation was applied. In the second group (N=20) we used short-level stabilization with additional augmentation of transpedicular screws by bone cement. The spinal stability, restoration of function, correction of spine's deformation and pain relief was same in both groups. But in the second group the results was achieved with less traumatization and time of rehabilitation of the patients.
