■经皮椎弓根螺钉内固定是一种常见的微创治疗创伤性胸腰椎和腰椎骨折的方法;然而,成功愈合后硬件移除的研究是有限的。我们的目标是引入一种快速的,安全,微创,和经济有效的经皮椎弓根螺钉移除方法。
■我们对人口统计(年龄,性别,身体质量指数,酒精使用,和当前吸烟),临床(高血压和糖尿病),手术(受影响的水平,螺钉数量,手术时间,和失血),以及2016年5月至2023年2月期间接受经皮椎弓根螺钉摘除的92例患者的治疗费用特征.前57例患者采用常规方法,其余35人采用改良方法。独立样本t检验和卡方检验用于比较连续变量和分类变量,分别,两组之间。
■在人口统计学参数中没有观察到显着差异,并发症,或群体之间受影响的水平。然而,平均手术时间(P=0.000)明显缩短,改良组平均失血量(P=0.002)和总费用(P=0.000)明显低于常规组。
■与常规方法相比,我们的改良方法可以缩短手术时间,减少失血,并降低治疗总成本。它是一种快速安全的微创方法,不需要额外的手术器械,适合在基层医院实施。
UNASSIGNED: Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation is a common minimally invasive treatment for traumatic thoracolumbar and lumbar fractures; however, research on hardware removal after successful healing is limited. We aimed to introduce a rapid, safe, minimally invasive, and cost-effective method for percutaneous pedicle screw removal.
UNASSIGNED: We conducted a retrospective analysis of demographic (age, sex, body mass index, alcohol use, and current smoking), clinical (hypertension and diabetes mellitus), surgical (affected levels, number of screws, time of surgery, and blood loss), and treatment cost characteristics of 92 patients who had undergone percutaneous pedicle screw removal between May 2016 and February 2023. The first 57 patients underwent the conventional method, and the remaining 35 underwent the modified method. Independent-sample t-tests and chi-square tests were used to compare continuous and categorical variables, respectively, between the two groups.
UNASSIGNED: No significant differences were observed in the demographic parameters, complications, or affected levels between the groups. However, the average surgical time (P=0.000) was significantly shorter, and the average blood loss volume (P=0.002) and total cost (P=0.000) were significantly lower in the modified group than in the conventional group.
UNASSIGNED: Compared with the conventional method, our modified method can shorten the surgical time, reduce blood loss, and reduce the total cost of treatment. It is a quick and safe minimally invasive method that does not require additional surgical instruments and is suitable for implementation in primary hospitals.
