Abstract:

Objective To analyze and evaluate the impact on biomechanical stability between the bilateral pedicle screws fixation and the one side pedicle screw combined transfaect screw in the opposite side internal fixation, so as to provide theoretical basis in clinics to select different fixation method. Method  Ten lumbar samples (L4-5 functional spinal units)of fresh corpses were tested. The range of motion(ROM) of these lumbar samples were tested by experimental machine under flexion, extension, right and left lateral bending, right and left rotating state before and after different fixations. Results  All of the six ROMs of bilateral pedicle screws fixation and zygopophysis screw with single pedicle screw fixation were reduced compared to preoperativestate, and the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the bilateral pedicle screws fixation, the differences were statistically significant under left lateral rotating and right bending(P<0.05)and not statistically significant under flexion, extension, left(transfaect screw side) lateral bending, right(pedicle screw side) rotating state. Conclusion Both of bilateral pedicle screws fixation and one side pedicle screw combined transfaect screw in the opposite side internal fixation could add to the biomechanic stability obviously. Compared with the bilateral pedicle screws fixation, the biomechanic stability of one side pedicle screw combined transfaect screw in the opposite side internal fixation is inferior under left lateral rotating and right bending.
