Blood Loss Following Open Posterior Spinal Fusion in Fractures: Cannulated vs. Solid Pedicle Screws
We aim to delineate whether there is increased blood loss with the use of cannulated pedicle screws compared to solid pedicle screws in patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion. A single-centre retrospective case-control study was undertaken on patients undergoing PSF for spinal fractures. Cannul...

description | We aim to delineate whether there is increased blood loss with the use of cannulated pedicle screws compared to solid pedicle screws in patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion. A single-centre retrospective case-control study was undertaken on patients undergoing PSF for spinal fractures. Cannulated screw fixation was compared with solid screw fixation. Intraoperative blood loss was estimated using pre and postoperative haemoglobin levels, recorded estimated blood loss and cell saver reports. Anticoagulation, blood product administration, operative time and number of levels fused were assessed. A total of 64 cases, 32 in each cohort, were included in the analysis. Overall mean haemoglobin reduction from pre- to post-operative was 2.82 ± 1.85 g/L per screw inserted in the cannulated group, compared to a haemoglobin decrease of 2.81 ± 1.521 g/L per screw inserted in the solid screw group (p = 0.971). Total estimated intraoperative blood loss was 616.3 + 355.4 mL in the cannulated group, compared to 713.6 + 473.5 mL in the solid screw group (p = 0.456). Patients with preoperative thrombocytopenia had a transfusion rate of 0.5 ± 0.71 units/patient compared to 0.04 ± 0.19 units/patient in patients with normal platelet levels (p < 0.005). The differences in blood loss observed between cannulated and solid pedicle screws are non-significant overall. The largest predictor for need of transfusion was pre-operative thrombocytopenia, regardless of the type of screw used. |
