ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of “Weiyilin suspension reduction” combined with minimally invasive percutaneous screw rod fixation in the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture. MethodsThe clinical data of 80 patients with thoracolumbar fracture were retrospectively analyzed. The patients treated with “Weiyilin suspension reduction” combined with minimally invasive percutaneous screw rod fixation were enrolled in observation group (28 cases), whereas the patients treated with simple minimally invasive percutaneous screw rod fixation were assigned to control group (27 cases), and the patients received conservative treatment were enrolled in conservative group (25 cases). The vertebral height, VAS score and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score before and 3 months after treatment were compared between the three groups. ResultsThree months after treatment, the three groups yielded higher height of anterior vertebral (Ha) and height of posterior vertebral (Hp), lower VAS scores significantly, and higher various scores including subjective symptoms, clinical signs, limitation of daily activities and bladder function scores in JOA scores, and the observation group yielded more significant changes (all P＜0.05). ConclusionThe modified “Weiyilin suspension reduction” combined with minimally invasive percutaneous screw rod fixation has an exact effect on patients with thoracolumbar fracture, which can effectively recover the height of vertebral body, relieve the pain of patients, and promote the recovery of lumbar function. It is worthy of clinical promotion.
