Abstract: Objective To verify the advantages of spinal external fixation surgery in reducing paraspinal muscle injury. Methods Ten goats were randomly divided into a spinal external fixation surgery group and an open internal fixation surgery group. The experimental animals were sacrificed at 3 months after operation. The lumbar vertebrae of the surgical segment were scanned by 3.0T MRI, and the paraspinal muscle tissue was completely dissected for quasi-static tensile test and pathological section. The effects of the two surgical methods on paraspinal muscle were analyzed. Results The goat animal model was successfully constructed. MRI showed that compared with the open internal fixation surgery group, there were only a small amount of muscle injury around the screw in the spinal external fixation surgery group. Quasi-static tensile mechanical tests, tissue section staining (HE staining, Masson staining) all suggested that there was less muscle injury in the spinal external fixation surgery group. There are statistical differences. Conclusions The method of spinal external fixation through percutaneous nail implantation and external orthopedic fixation was verified to reduce the paraspinal muscle injury caused by postoperative internal fixation device compression and interference.
