Abstract
BACKGROUND
In order to improve the clinical medical technology, enhance the clinical effect and improve the disease detection rate, the clinical incidence rate of atlantoaxial dislocation and vertebral body malformation that are difficult to summarize is increasing year by year.
METHODS
A total of 80 patients with atlantoaxial dislocation deformity treated in our hospital from January 2017 to May 2021 are selected for this study. According to the number table method, 80 patients are randomly divided into the auxiliary group and the traditional group, with 40 cases in each group. The traditional group is treated with posterior atlantoaxial pedicle screw system internal fixation and intervertebral fusion, and the auxiliary implementation and application of a new head and neck fixation and traction device through nasal cannula and oral release decompression fixation for posterior fusion. The patients in the two groups are compared changes and differences in efficacy, spinal cord function index, pain score, surgery, and quality of life.
RESULTS
Compared with the traditional group, the total clinical effective rate, cervical spine extension and flexion range of motion, physical function, physical function, psychological function, and social function in the auxiliary group are significantly improved. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and VAS score are significantly reduced (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The new head and neck fixation traction device can improve the surgical efficacy and quality of life of patients with irreversible atlantoaxial dislocation, enhance spinal cord function, reduce pain symptoms and surgical risks, and is worthy of clinical application.
