ABSTRACT
The vertebral unstability is the loss of the capacity of the spine under physiologic conditions of load tomaintain the relationship among the vertebras, in such a way that spinal marrow and the nervous roots don’t suffer damage or irritation. The system of vertebral fixation (VSF) is a system made in titanium, designed by the author of the article in the Hospital Juarez de Mexico, manufactured in Mexico by SOLCO (Soldevilla and Co.). In this study 190 patients were revised, with the diagnosis of vertebral unstability caused by spondilolistesis, vertebral fracture and wide liberations by laminectomies of January from the 2000 to December of the 2004. The treatment was done with boarding for later via; and in the cases of infections, primary vertebral tumors and metastasics were done boarding for previous via, being stabilized with other fixation systems, that for the pathologies don’t enter in this study. Conclusion. The boarding of the spine by later via, every time it is used less in comparison with the previous decades, it is limited to pathologies like the spondilolistesis L4L5, – L5S1, vertebral fractures, vertebral unstabilities caused by wide laminectomies and in desectomies of one or two levels.REFERENCES
