By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on Musculoskeletal Diseas es and Conditions - Ankylosing Spondylitis is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Suzhou, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Spinal fractures in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) mainly present as instability, involving all three columns of the spine, and su rgical intervention is often considered necessary. However, in AS patients, the significant alterations in bony structure and anatomy result in a lack of identi fiable landmarks, which increases the difficulty of pedicle screw implantation.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Second Affiliat ed Hospital of Soochow University, “Therefore, we present the clinical outcomes of robotic-assisted percutaneous fixation for thoracolumbar fractures in patient s with AS. A retrospective review was conducted on a series of 12 patients diagn osed with AS. All patients sustained thoracolumbar fractures between October 201 8 and October 2022 and underwent posterior robotic-assisted percutaneous fixatio n procedures. Outcomes of interest included operative time, intra-operative bloo d loss, complications, duration of hospital stay and fracture union. The clinica l outcomes were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disa bility Index (ODI). To investigate the achieved operative correction, pre- and p ostoperative radiographs in the lateral plane were analyzed by measuring the Cob b angle. The 12 patients had a mean age of 62.8 ± 13.0 years and a mean follow-u p duration of 32.7 ± 18.9 months. Mean hospital stay duration was 15 ± 8.0 days. The mean operative time was 119.6 ± 32.2 min, and the median blood loss was 50 (50, 250) ml. The VAS value improved from 6.8 ± 0.9 preoperatively to 1.3 ± 1.0 at the final follow-up (P <0.05). The ODI value improved f rom 83.6 ± 6.1% preoperatively to 11.8 ± 6.6% at the latest follow-up (P <0.05). The average Cobb angle change d from 15.2 ± 11.0 pre-operatively to 8.3 ± 7.1 at final follow-up (P <0.05). Bone healing was consistently achieved, with an average healing time of 6 (5.3, 7.0) months. Of the 108 screws implanted, 2 (1.9%) were imp roperly positioned. One patient experienced delayed nerve injury after the opera tion, but the nerve function returned to normal upon discharge. Posterior roboti c-assisted percutaneous internal fixation can be used as an ideal surgical treat ment for thoracolumbar fractures in AS patients.”
