Objective. Basing on experiment biomechanical and clinical studies to determine the optimal method of surgery in patients with vertebral lower thoracic and lumbar fractures using porous NiTi implants. Material and Methods. A method of modeling of comminuted vertebral fractures has been developed. The outcomes after anterior interbody fusion with both porous NiTi implants alone and in combination with pedicle screw fixation and on-bone screw – rod osteosynthesis for comminuted vertebral fractures in thoracic and lumbar spine were analyzed in 61 patients. An antimigration technique for implant stabilization was developed and successfully used in 5 patients with comminuted vertebral fractures predominantly in the lower lumbar spine. Patients of this group underwent stabilometry and X-ray tomography for objective appraisal of treatment results. Results. Results of the experimental studies demonstrated that anterior mono- and bisegmental spinal fusion with onbone screw – rod or transpedicular osteosynthesis provides stable fixation, but firmer fixation is achieved by its combination with anterior spinal fusion. Most patients (87.9 %) have good results after anterior interbody fusion with porous NiTi implants. Conclusion. Combination of anterior interbody fusion with porous NiTi implants and on-bone screw – rod osteosynthesis is advisable for unstable fractures and also for early active rehabilitation of patients without external immobilization. Anterior interbody fusion with titanium antimigration screw is advisable for comminuted vertebral fractures predominantly in lower lumbar spine.

The thoracoscopic approach to the anterior spine is a practical and valuable means of approaching ventral spinal lesions but demands advanced technical skills and fine hand-eye coordination that is usually acquired with experience. A mutual understanding of all the ventilatory and surgical steps allows for an organized orchestration between the anesthesiologist and surgeon, which ultimately helps minimize potential complications. Despite a concerted effort by all involved to avoid risks, thoracoscopic surgery is associated with complications for which the surgical team should be cognizant. In this paper, the authors detail the operative technique of vertebral corpectomy and interbody fusion via the thoracoscopic approach for the treatment of ventral spinal pathology involving the thoracic and lower lumbar spine, discuss complications known to occur with the thoracoscopic approach, and present means to help avoid them.

We observed 72 people with vertebrogenic paresthetic meralgia. Thirty of them were diagnosed with osteochondrosis of the lower thoracic spine, 27 with upper lumbar spine, and 15 with lower lumbar spine. A permanent form of paresthetic meralgia was detected in 38 patients and transient paresthetic meralgia was detected in 34 patients.
