  • SURGICAL TREATMENT OF KYPHOSIS WITH UNIVERSAL SPINE SYSTEM

    OBJECTIVE: To introduce a method to treat kyphosis with universal spine system (USS) and to evaluate its clinical effect. METHODS: From January 2000 to September 2002, 31 patients with kyphosis were treated with "one-stage total vertebral wedge-shaped osteotomy" and internal fixation of USS. The average follow-up time was 12 months (6-31 months). We observed the clinical effect with the spinal column Cobb before operation and after operation, and the osteotomy confluence rate. RESULTS: In 31 patients, the average angle (Cobb) was 89 degrees before operation and 74 degrees after operation; the average rate of correction was 83.15% and the average rate of osteotomy confluence was 96.77%. No screw and rod broke and loosened. CONCLUSION: The USS is the reliable internal fixation instrument for the treatment of kyphosis, can increase the osteotomy confluence rate and improve correcting rate.
