UNASSIGNED: We investigated the clinical and radiological results of percutaneous pedicle screw fixation in the management of spinal @entity130 and @entity5 . A retrospective analysis was performed on a series of 14 @entity1 who were operated on from March 2009 to November 2011 by a single surgeon (RJM). Following a radiological review (CT scan/MRI), six @entity1 underwent short segment fixation, while the remaining underwent long segment fixation. All @entity1 had routine follow-ups at 4, 6, 12months, and annually thereafter. Clinical examinations were conducted preoperatively and postoperatively, and the length of operation, @entity190 , and @entity282 relief were recorded. There was a single @entity1 with an incision site complication. The mean @entity190 was 269mL. All of the parameters demonstrated no significant differences between the @entity130 and the @entity5 groups (p=0.10). The neurological power scores improved for all @entity1 , with the largest increase being from a score of 2 to 4. At follow-up, the majority of @entity1 had returned to their previous activities and had reduced @entity158 scores. One @entity1 suffered high @entity158 levels from other medical conditions that were not related to the operation. Minimally invasive pedicle screw fixation is a suitable option for @entity1 with @entity5 and @entity174 , with acceptable safety and efficacy in this small retrospective @entity1 series. We have seen favourable results in our @entity1 , who have experienced an increased quality of life following their surgery.
