Thirty-three patients with low back pain underwent spinal fusion following a positively predicting external fixation test. Thirty-two spinal fusions and one sacroiliac joint fusion were performed. The complications following the use of the external fixator were significant. The results following spinal fusion were not related to the positive response to the external fixator. Multiple variables affect the results of spinal fusion. We feel that the external fixator test in low back pain management is very invasive, and its use cannot be justified.
33例腰痛患者在外部固定试验呈阳性预测后接受了脊柱融合术。共进行了32例脊柱融合术和1例骶髂关节融合术。使用外部固定器后的并发症较为严重。脊柱融合术后的结果与外部固定器的阳性反应无关。多种变量会影响脊柱融合的结果。我们认为，在腰痛治疗中使用外部固定器试验具有很强的侵入性，其使用不合理。
