AIM: to retrospectively analyze the clinical efficacy and feasibility of @entity1514 and lumbar @entity3083 treated by single-stage posterior debridement, interbody fusion with @entity702 mesh cages (TMC), and combined short-segment instrumentation. METHODS: Fifteen @entity1 with no more than two vertebral bodies involving @entity378 were collected from January 2006 to January 2010, performed by single-stage posterior debridement, interbody fusion with TMC and posterior short-segment fixation. And the clinical efficacy was evaluated based on the data of the 10-point Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), neurological status, @entity1513 angle, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and @entity1851 , which were collected at a certain time. RESULTS: The average duration of surgery was 135 minutes. All the @entity1 were followed up for a period ranging from 18 to 48 months (mean 28.9    6.44 months). The VAS score was improved from 8.47    1.13 (range: 7-10) before surgery to 2 .1    1 .7 (range: 0 - 2) after surgery. Correction of segmental @entity85 was 24.2    6.59  . Neither the postoperative change of the position of @entity702 mesh cage nor any posterior instrumentation failure was recorded. The situation of 13 @entity1 with incomplete @entity16 before surgery was improved after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1 with @entity1514 and lumbar @entity3083 can be successfully treated by posterior debridement, interbody fusion with TMC combining short-segment instrumentation. The presence of the TMC anteriorly at the site of @entity1511 has no negative influence on the course of @entity281 healing, and additionally they stabilize the affected segment maintaining sufficient sagittal profile.
