Objective Biomechanical properties of the anterior cervical pedicle screw artificial vertebral system and conventional anterior screw plate system were analyzed in lower cervical spine by finite element.Methods CT images were obtained from a 38-year-old female volunteer.Following models were established and analyzed by Mimics14.0,Geomagic Studio 2013,ANSYS 14.0 software:the intact cervical model(C3-C7),corpectomy of C5 model,the model of conventional anterior screw plate system fixation(AP),and the model of anterior transpedicular screw artificial vertebral body sys-
背景:前路颈椎间盘切除植骨融合是治疗颈椎病的有效术式,该术式能够提供坚强固定且植骨融合率相对较高。但是,对于2个节段以上同时受累的颈椎,由于植骨跨度较大,内固定和植骨块稳定性较差,容易产生植骨融合失败、假关节形成等并发症,影响疗效。目的:观察颈椎前路椎弓根螺钉植入骨质疏松椎骨内的生物力学稳定性。方法:纳入12具人颈椎骨,包括6具骨密度正常颈椎骨和6具骨质疏松颈椎骨,共60个椎骨标本资料进行分析,将30个骨质疏松椎骨标本植入颈椎前路椎弓根螺钉设为颈椎前路椎弓根螺钉组,将30个骨密度正常椎骨标本植入前路椎体螺钉设为前路椎体螺钉组。从上述两组中根据骨密度值抽取40个椎骨,分别设置为即时正常骨密度组、即时骨密度疏松组、疲劳正常骨密度组以及疲劳骨质疏松组,每组10个椎骨。采用双能X射线骨密度仪测定各椎体骨密度值,采用Electro Force 3510材料试验机对两种螺钉进行生物力学指标测试。结果与结论:颈椎前路椎弓根螺钉组骨矿盐含量、椎体螺钉拔出力、椎体螺钉拔出刚度、椎弓根螺钉拔出力、椎弓根螺钉拔出刚度均显著高于前路椎体螺钉组(P<0.05)。颈椎前路椎弓根螺钉即时正常骨密度标本最大轴向拔出力、即时骨质疏松标本最大轴向拔出力、疲劳正常骨密度标本最大轴向拔出力、疲劳骨质疏松标本最大轴向拔出力均显著高于高于前路椎体螺钉(P<0.05)。结果证实,与颈椎前路椎体螺钉相比,颈椎前路椎弓根螺钉在骨质疏松椎骨内生物力学性能更加稳定。
