- Abstract:
- Objectives To evaluate the clinical outcomes of hook-pedicle-screw technique in the youth’ spondylolysis. Methods 7 patients (5 males, 2 females) undergoing hook-pedicle-screw fixation and bone grafting for spondylolysis in our hospital from December 2006 to October 2015 were retrospectively studied. The average age is 20.1±4.2 (16-27)years. All the patients underwent posterior spondylolysis repair with hook-screw fixation and bone grafting. The medical history and clincal information were recorded and lumbar radiographs were evaluated at pre-operation and post-operation. CT sagittal reconstructions were evaluated at final follow-up and symptoms and complications were recorded. Results The mean operation time was 105.1±29.3min, with 90.0±53.5mL average blood loss. The mean time for the follow-up period is 45.2±11.8(36-120) months. MacNab scores showed 4 cases “excellent”, 2 cases “good” and 1 case “fair”. All patients got pain relief. Lumbar radiographs and CT sagittal reconstructions showed hook-screw at right place and bone healing in all cases. Only one complication occurred in all cases, which was implant-related. Conclusion For young patients with spondylolysis, hook-pedicle-screw fixation and bone grafting is a safe and effective operation procedure for the repairment. Repairment by operation is recommended for patients with no response to conservative treatment.
