The Comparison of Autograft and Allograft Interbody Fusion in the PLatients Operated by Using Cloward Fusion Technique for Cervical Trauma
The neuroradiological data of 52 operated cases (18 female, 34 male) by using otograft and allograft Cloward fusion technique for traumatic cervical fracture was retrospectively investigated in the determination of postoperative clinical and neuroradiological success. In 28 (54%) cases, otograft harvested from iliac bone was used for graft material and remaining 24 (46%) cases were operated with allograft.
The patients had been followed up for 6 months with periodical neurological examination and direct cervical X-ray. Normal cervical lordosis was found in 78% of the patient with autograft but 55% of patients with allograft. Reoperation rate for severe angulation was found in 4% of the patient with autograft and in 8% of patient with allograft. In conclusion; the postoperative neuroradiological results of autograft fusion in the patient with cervical trauma are seems to be more successful from those of patient operated by using allograft interbody fusion. The differences between these two group were statistically significant (p<0.05).
Autolog bone graft harvested from iliac bone is cost-effective and safe material, and can be use for the patients with cervical trauma.
Kliniğimizde Ocak 1997- Aralık 2001 tarihleri arasında servikal travma nedeniyle otogreft ve allogreft (Tutoplast) kullanılarak tek seviye Cloward füzyon yapılan 52 (18 kadın, 34 erkek) olgu retrospektif olarak yeniden incelendi. 28 (%54) olguda iliak kanattan elde edilen otogreft, kalan 24 (%46) olguda ise insan patella orjinli allogreft kullanıldı.
Olgular ortalama 6 ay takip edilerek sonuçlar direkt X-ray ve nörolojik muayene ile değerlendirildi. Otolog kemik greft kullanılan olguların %78'inde normal lordoz korunurken, bu oran allogreft kullanılan olgularda %55 olarak bulundu. İleri angülasyon nedeniyle tekrar ameliyat edilen olgu sayısı otogreft kullanılan olgularda %4, allogreft kullanılan olgularda ise %8 olarak bulundu.
52 olguyu kapsayan serimizin sonuçlarının değerlendirilmesinde postoperatif servikal lordo-zun korunması yönünden, otogreft kullanılan olguların radyolojik sonuçlan allogreft kullanılan olgularmkinden daha başarılı olarak bulundu. İki grup arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır (p<0.05).
Servikal travma nedeniyle tek seviye Cloward füzyon yapılması düşünülen olgularda otolog kemik grefti, ucuz, kolay elde edilebilir ve postoperatif sonuçları allogrefte göre daha iyi olan bir cerrahi tedavi yöntemidir.
