 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Automatic reset spinal distraction device in the thoracic and lumbar fractures [Abstract] Objective clinical application of spinal distraction automatically reset the system, Dick nails, Steffee pedicle screw plate fixation of three such systems were evaluated. Methods were used to measure 1988 to 2005, 206 patients in our hospital unstable thoracolumbar patients before and after fracture of the anterior vertebral height, posterior height, kyphosis, spinal canal diameter. Results spinal distraction to reset the system automatically correcting vertebral edge was (85.38 + -12.5)% correction rate of the trailing edge is (97.88 + -19.3)%, kyphosis correction was (93.32 + -20.2)%, to improve the rate of spinal canal (87.31 + -18.8)%, compared with Dick nails, Steffee plate there was significant difference (P lt;0.05 ). Conclusion spine distraction to reset the system automatically reset easily, fixed more firmly. [Keywords:] fracture, pedicle screws, clinical application The pedicle screw technology in recent years has become a conventional means of spinal fixation, since the 20th century, 80 years since the advent of pedicle screw fixation has become fractures conservative treatment marks the transition to surgical therapy [1], the World relevant national agencies have also designed and launched by the pedicle screw spinal systems. However, most of transpedicular vertebral fracture reduction system is required during the corresponding auxiliary distraction device, and the operation is complicated fractures can not be fixed synchronization. spine distraction automatically reset (spine auto reduction fixer, SARF) system is based on the Steffee system a “distraction automatically reset slope principle” developed from the combination of pedicle screw-rod system with the nail plate structure as a whole, and has a unique function of the automatic distraction, the vertebral fracture reduction and fixation in one step, simplifying the proce
