The Role of Biomechanical Analysis in Short Segment Fusion with Posterior Instrumentation in Thoracolumbar Fractures

Abstract

Background: This study aims to evaluate the role of biomechanical analysis in short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation in thoracolumbar fractures. One hundred patients in an orthopaedic department of a hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan, were recruited over 12 months (January 2022-January 2023). The patients were instructed to be divided into two groups; a control group, which would receive traditional thoracolumbar fracture treatment, and an experimental group, which would receive short segment fusion with posterior instrumentation. Biomechanical analysis was conducted to assess the fracture's stability in both groups. The primary outcome measure was born on the treatment's ability to restore anatomical alignment and strength of the fracture. Secondary outcome measures will include the degree of pain relief, healing time, and complications. The results were compared between the two groups and used to conclude the role of biomechanical analysis in short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation in thoracolumbar fractures.

Objective

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the role of biomechanical analysis in short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation in thoracolumbar fractures. Specifically, this study will compare the effectiveness of short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation versus traditional thoracolumbar fracture treatment in terms of restoring anatomical alignment and stability of the fracture, degree of pain relief, healing time, and complications.

Material  And Method

This study was conducted in the orthopaedic Department at the KTH Hospital in Peshawar, Pakistan. One hundred consenting patients with thoracolumbar fractures met the inclusion criteria and were recruited over 12 months (January 2022-January 2023). The patients were divided into two groups; a control group, which would receive traditional thoracolumbar fracture treatment, and an experimental group, which would receive short segment fusion with posterior instrumentation. Biomechanical analysis was conducted to assess the fracture's stability in both groups. The primary outcome measure was born on the treatment's ability to restore anatomical alignment and strength of the fracture. Secondary outcome measures will include the degree of pain relief, healing time, and complications. The results were compared between the two groups and used to conclude the role of biomechanical analysis in short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation in thoracolumbar fractures.

Result

This study's results were conducted to conclude the role of biomechanical analysis in short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation in thoracolumbar fractures. The primary outcome measure was born on the treatment's ability to restore anatomical alignment and stability of the fracture. Secondary outcome measures will include the degree of pain relief, healing time, and complications. The results were compared between the two groups and used to conclude the role of biomechanical analysis in short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation in thoracolumbar fractures.

conclusion

This study aims to evaluate the role of biomechanical analysis in short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation in thoracolumbar fractures. This study's results were conducted to draw conclusions about the efficacy of short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation in restoring anatomical alignment and stability of the fracture, degree of pain relief, healing time, and complications. The results will also identify potential risks associated with biomechanical analysis in short-segment fusion with posterior instrumentation.
