Abstract

Objective To describe a method for the treatment of kyphosis with USS and evaluate its clinical effect Methods 31 patients with kyphosis were treated with one-stage total vertebral wedge-shaped osteotomy and USS for internal fixation.The follow-up period was 1 year.The clinical effect with the spinal column Cobbs angle(before operating and after operating)and the osteotomy confluence rate were observed.Results The preoperative Cobbs angle in 31 cases was in an average of 73° and postoperatively the angle in average was 12°;the average percentage of correction was 83.56%,the average percentage of osteotomy confluence was 96.77%.Conclusion The USS is a reliable internal fixation instrumentation for the treatment of kyphosis,for increasing the osteotomy confluence rate and improving the rate of correction.
