ABSTRACT

Introduction. The treatment of the vertebral instability is not anything new in our time the same as the instrumentation to fix it. The team of surgery of column of the Hospital Juarez de Mexico shows by means of this article the experience acquired in ten years of treatment of the vertebral instability with the use of materials designed by the author and manufactured by Manufacturas Solco S.A de C.V. with the purpose of being of easy placement and smaller cost that it is so important in the economic problem for which studies our country. Objective. To value that the fixation systems used for the stabilization of the column are a guarantee to reach the posterolateral arthrodesis or of 360 degrees at cervical, thoracic and lumbar level. Material and methods. 450 patients are operated with cervical, thoracic and lumbar diagnosis of vertebral instability in a 10 year-old average caused by hernia discal, espondylolisthesis, fractures, posquirurgical instability, infection and primary vertebral tumors and metastatic. The used instrumentation was the system VSF (System of Vertebral Fixation), intersomatic boxes lumbar of PEEK (polieteretercetona) type banana, badge Bios for fixation vertebral previous toracolumbar and cervical previous badge KCS (Cervical System Moleteado) with intersomatic box cervical of PEEK. Conclusion. With these implant of vertebral fixation we have achieved the stabilization of the column with used of minimal instrumental of easy application and smaller time of surgery diminishing the patient’s surgical risk.
