Abstract
The biomechanics of pedicle screw fixation combined with trajectory cement augmentation with various filling volumes were measured by pull-out, periodic antibending, and compression fatigue tests. To investigate the biomechanical properties of the pedicle screw fixation combined with trajectory bone cement (polymethylmethacrylate) augmentation in osteoporotic vertebrae and to explore the optimum filling volume of the bone cement. Pedicle screw fixation is considered to be the most effective posterior fixation method. The decrease of the bone mineral density apparently increases the fixation failure risk caused by screw loosening and displacement. Trajectory bone cement augmentation has been confirmed to be an effective method to increase the bone intensity and could markedly increase the stability of the fixation interface. Sixteen elderly cadaveric 1-5 lumbar vertebral specimens were diagnosed with osteoporosis. The left and right vertebral pedicles were alternatively randomized for treatment in all groups, with the contralateral pedicles as control. The study groups included: group A (pedicle screw fixation with full trajectory bone cement augmentation), group B (75% filling), group C (50% filling), and group D (25% filling)....Continue Reading
