Abstract:

BACKGROUND: There are many unavoidable defects after the traditional lumbar vertebral fusion operation, which can cause and aggravate the adjacent segment degeneration. Presently, primary clinical effects of dynamic internal fixation system are encouraging, but further clinical application exhibited some shortcomings in the design of internal fixation in the spinous process. Some complications related to instrument appeared.
OBJECTIVE: To research and develop a new type of spinal internal fixation with dynamic stabilization system.
METHODS: A new spinal dynamic stabilization system was designed. It can not only adapt spinal multidirectional activity, but also reserve supraspinal ligament to satisfy the normal range of spinal movement in the aspect of design principle.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The implantation of the spinal dynamic stabilization system can stabilize spine dynamical without sacrificing immediate stability of spine, can disperse load transmission and avoid stress shielding with strong internal fixation, also increase capacity of spinal canal and size of intervertebral foramina, restore height of intervertebral space, reduce the load of anulus fibrosus and facet joint’s load. Nevertheless, because of high price and design defects, the use of this system was limited. The multidirectional active interspinous dynamic stabilization system designed by ourselves could be implanted in root of spinous process, implemented flexible fixation in spinous process, between spinous process and lamina of vertebral, and adapted spinal multidirectional activity, and expected to overcome the deficiencies of technology and reduced the price.
