Quality of life
In order to evaluate the quality of life after thoracoscopic
ventral stabilisation of thoracolumbar spine fractures,
ODI and SF-36 scores were measured at follow up
(Table 2). According to ODI scores, intra- and postoperative
complications affected the quality life after
ventral thoracoscopic fusion. Patients without associated
complications demonstrated superior ODI scores (19.8
(±18.7) versus 31.4 (±18.1); p= 0.1207). Moreover, individuals
with 50 years of age and younger demonstrated
improved quality of life (20.7 (±19.7) versus 26 (±18.2);
p= 0.5615) as well; however, this difference did not reach
statistical significance.
All eight items of the SF-36 score in our study population
(SP) were markedly below levels recorded in a representative
German population (GP) (Figure 3 A-F). In
particular, both Role-Physical (RP) and Role-Emotional
(RE) items representing role limitations because of physical
health and emotional problems, respectively, showed
high score differences. Physical health related role limitations
were mainly problematic in patients older than
50 years of age (RP: ≤50 54.6 (± 45.9) versus >50 M 31.3
(± 40.5)). Moreover, patients who sustained intra- and
postoperative complications and/or concomitant injuries
scored much lower. Deteriorations of the physical functioning
and related role limitations were found in these
groups (RP: with complications 9.6 (± 19.2) versus no
complications 55.7 (± 44.3)).
