Objective To determine the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of common pedicle screw placement under direct vision combined with dome shaped decompression via small incision for double segment thoracolumbar fracture with nerve injury. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 32 patients with double segment thoracolumbar fracture with nerve injury undergoing common pedicle screw placement under direct vision combined with dome shaped decompression via small incision between November 2011 and November 2015 (combined surgery group), and another 32 patients undergoing traditional open pedicle screw fixation surgery (traditional surgery group). There was no significant difference in gender, age, cause of injury, time of injury-to-surgery, injury segments and Frankel classification of neurological function between two groups (P>0.05). The length of soft tissue dissection, the operative time, the blood loss during surgery, the postoperative drainage, the visual analogue scale (VAS) of incision after surgery, and recovery of neurological function after surgery were evaluated. Results All cases were followed up 9 to 12 months (mean, 10.5 months) in combined surgery group, and 8 to 12 months (mean, 9.8 months) in traditional surgery group. The length of soft tissue dissection, the operative time, the blood loss during surgery, the postoperative drainage, and the postoperative VAS score in the combined surgery group were significantly better than those in the traditional surgery group (P<0.05). Dural rupture during surgery and pedicle screw pulling-out at 6 months after surgery occurred in 2 cases and 1 case of the combined surgery group; dural rupture during surgery occurred in 1 case of the traditional surgery group. The X-ray films showed good decompression, and fracture healing; A certain degree of neurological function recovery was achieved in two groups. Conclusion Common pedicle screw placement under direct vision combined with dome shaped decompression via small incision can significantly reduce iatrogenic trauma and provide good nerve decompression. Therefore, it is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment method for double segment thoracolumbar fracture with neurological injury.
