Our spinal fixator has been approved by the FDA for
marketing since 1983. It is called Rezaian spinal fixator.
This device is a simple turnbuckle fixator that replaces the
fracture body. It is actually used to produce segmental
anterior interbody stabilization in conjunction with bone
graft. The spinal fixator restores the height of collapsed/burst
vertebrae, and produces a safe and secure stability for early
rehabilitation, no extra instrumentation. No post-operative
external immobilization, e.g. cast or plastic body jacket is
required. Hospitalization is generally short, a minimum of five
days and a maximum 27 days. According to the concerned
manufacturer, 2,650 of this device have been used all over the
worldwithout instrumentation failure report. 295 patients have
been operated by the author at the level of T12-L5. Two patients
had second surgery because of malalignment of fixator, three
other patients’ sustained fracture/dislocation of the spine. They
had to have posterior spinal instrumentation after anterior
spinal canal decompression and spinal fusion. There were 78
patients with follow-up, 4-25 years, 22 could not be trace for
follow-up. Of the 78 cases, there were 49males and 29 females,
ages between 22-84 years old. No neurological aggravation was
noticed on these series of results of surgery. The 78 patients
were graded according to Frankel classification. Pre-operatively,
there was Grade A 21; Grade B 15; Grade C31; Grade D 11; and
Grade E 0; Post-operatively, there were Grade A 15; Grade B 12;
Grade C 10; Grade D 5 and Grade E 36. In conclusion, this fixator
is a simple, rather cheap appliance. Its application is easier for
the surgeons, and safer for the patient. The 4-25 years results
are encouraging.
