title: [Transpedicular stabilization in spinal and vertebral column injuries in thoracic and lumbar spine segments].
abstract: The authors present their own experience in application of transpedicular internal stabilization of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Clinical analysis was carried out in a group of 12 patients after vertebral column and spinal trauma managed surgically in the Department of Neurosurgery in Poznań between 1.06.95 and 31.12.96. Age of patients ranged from 19 to 56 years (mean age 35.08 +/- 13.04 yrs.). The level of vertebral fracture was as follows: thoracic (2 cases), thoraco-lumbar (6 cases) and lumbar (4 cases). Three patients were completely paraplegic. All patients underwent posterior or posterolateral surgical approach. The fractured parts of bones, translocated into vertebral canal were removed and nervous structures were decompressed. Transpendicular stabilization was performed after the decompression. Improvement of neurological condition was observed in 8 patients.
