  • Title: [Surgical treatment of kyphotic deformities after injuries of the lumbar segment of the spine].
    Author: Shvets AI.
    Journal: Ortop Travmatol Protez; 1990 Aug; (8):13-6. PubMed ID: 2074952.
    Abstract:
    The author proposes wedge, controlled, economic vertebrotomy. Indications for operation are inveterate vertebra fractures and dislocation fractures in the ++sterno-lumbar and lumbar parts of the spine with angular deformation in excess of 15-20 degrees and obvious pain syndrome. Posterior and frontal parts of the vertebrae are transected with the section angle value twice less that the kyphotic++ angle. Correction is made on the wedge implant with the forward-turned base. 12 patients have been operated on, including 10 with noncomplicated damages.
