Abstract

Background: Spinal trauma is a common problem in modern Orthopedics. Spine surgery has recently been transformed significantly by the growth of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Easily acceptable to patients as less invasive with smaller incisions, MIS is often perceived as superior to traditional open spine surgery. This study aims to study the functional outcome of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in posterior thoracolumbar instrumentation in spine fractures.
Materials and Methods: Present study was prospective in nature conducted among 35 patients. All patients fulfilling inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria were taken up for the study. Study was carried out over a period of 1.5 years.
Results: Majority of the patients was in the age group of 30-50 years and most of them were male. Mean VAS score & ODI functional outcome scores significantly reduced after MIS. Incidence of complications after MIS was 5.71%. 86% patients had excellent to good outcome after MIS according to McNab criteria.
Conclusion: Minimal invasive surgery is safe and effective procedure with minimal complications and good post-operative outcome.
 

Keywords: Minimal invasive surgery, VAS, Oswestry disability index, McNab criteria.
