Minimally invasive surgery for lumbar vertebral fracture mainly uses percutaneous pedicle screw internal fixation, which is performed under X-ray fluoroscopy and includes the process of disinfection, positioning, expanding, fixation, suturing and bandaging.
Minimally invasive surgery process for patients with lumbar spine fracture is to enter the operating room after the patient takes the prone position, after anesthesia, disinfection, toweling and other preoperative preparations and operations.
The surgical process mainly involves making a small incision of 2~3cm in the skin corresponding to the injured vertebrae, cutting through the skin and subcutaneous tissue, and separating the muscles. X-ray fluoroscopy is used as a guide to place the puncture needle, the trocar is expanded to form a channel, the appropriate pedicle screw is screwed in, the nail rod is connected, the restoration is braced, and the nut is tightened. The fracture is satisfactorily restored by intraoperative fluoroscopy, the wound is flushed out, stitched up, and bandaged, and the operation is completed.
