Abstract
|
|
|
Surgical treatment for chronic back pain in degenerative lumbar spine has beer still complicated. Several kinds of devices for spine fusions have been developed. but they have had both some advantages and disadvantages.
Rccently. the TFC (Threded fusion cage) instrument has been introduced in treating lumbar spinal disorders associated with degenerative changes. The authors analysed 15 cases of lumbar degenerative disease treated with adequate decompression and
TFC
instrumentation between October 1993 and March 1994 at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital. There were 10 females and 5 males. The main surgical indication was serious limitation of daily activity. which was not treated conservatively. The
preoperative diagnoses were 6 degenerative stenosis with disc. 6 degenerative spondylolisthesis. 2 spondylosis and spondylolisthesis. and 1 FBSS. We observed that 98% of patients (14 of 15) had more than good results and preoperative back pain
was
markedly reduced. Intervertebral disc space was well restored. and the redaction was possible in spondylolisthesis patients. In our opinion. TFC instrument will be one of good surgical modality in the treatment of degenerative lumbar spine.
