Efficiency of a novel vertebral body augmentation system (Tektona™) in non-osteoporotic spinal fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The restauration of the local kyphosis is crucial to thoracolumbar fractures outcomes. Recently, the Tektona™ (Spine Art) system, constituted by a flexible lamella for corporeal reduction has emerged as a promising solution for osteoporotic fractures. However, no study has yet focused on its results on traumatic fractures.

Methods

A retrospective longitudinal study on prospectively collected data was conducted on 53 patients that had a kyphoplasty by Tektona™, associated or not to percutaneous fixation. The data collected were clinical, surgical and scannographic (measurement of AVH, MVH and PVH (anterior/medium/posterior vertebral height), and RTA (regional traumatic angle) in°), preoperatively, post-operatively and at last follow-up.
