When squeezing the front access spinal cord in the front body shattered vertebra surgeon performs the operation, usually from the anterior approach. At the same incision is made on the anterior-lateral surface of the chest or abdomen. Further exposed body damaged vertebra. Removal of bone fragments is carried out, compressing the bone marrow. After decompression is performed stabilizing the spine. To do this, instead of remote damaged vertebral body set a bone graft.

Currently, grafts are used, made from the patient's own bone (auotransplantanty), as well as specially processed cadaver bone (Allograft). The increasingly widespread popularity for stabilization of the spine become cages – artificial prosthetic discs or vertebral bodies. Keiji made from titanium or solid plastic. Cage is filled with bone chips, which is a special cutter is taken from the crest of the hipbone. After a few months there is fusion of the graft with the bodies of higher-and lower-vertebrae into a single bone conglomerate. For fixation of the graft and the damaged vertebral segment in a physiologically correct position using special stabilizing systems, which may consist of screws, plates, bridges and beams. Details of the stabilizing systems are made of titanium or titanium carbide – solid, inert materials that do not cause rejection reactions by the body. Rear access in many cases, stabilization spine can be performed through incision in the back (posterior).

Operation posterior approach is performed in most cases, the absence of significant anterior compression of spinal cord fragments damaged vertebral body. Internal fixation of the damaged vertebral segment in the correct position by means of special stabilizing systems to prevent damage to the nervous structures, to patient's early mobilization, to ensure optimal fusion of bone structures. The most frequently used in recent years transpedicular stabilization of the spine. With this technique, the fixing screws are conducted through legs vertebrae in vertebral body. Screws on each side connected by strong beams that connect the vertebrae into a single conglomerate. These stabilizing systems are very reliable, which allows activation of the patient from the first days after surgery. To speed up the healing of injuries, use Polimedel.
