LUMBAR AND SACRAL SPINE INJURIES AND THEIR SURGICAL TREATMENT

Purpose of the study. To determine the clinical efficacy of lavsanoplasty in the treatment of lumbar and sacral spine injuries. Material and methods. 87 patients with injuries of the lumbar and sacral spine were operated on. Fifty-six of them had spondylolisthesis accompanied by neurologic deficit. In all patients we applied LAVSANOPLSTIKA to stabilize the damaged spinal segment. Results. Differential application of different variants of dural sac compression elimination using Lovesanoplasty for treatment of patients with spondylolisthesis allowed to obtain good treatment results in 63 patients, satisfactory - in 22 patients, unsatisfactory - in 2 patients. Conclusion. In traumatic stenoses of the spinal canal in the lumbar spine, the choice of the method of dural sac decompression should be planned individually for each patient taking into account the time since the trauma, the severity and dynamics of neurological disorders, and the localization of spinal column damage.
