Abstract: Objective: The paper explored the application value of nanohydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 composite bioactive artificial vertebral body in anterior surgery of thoracolumbar ligament injury in martial arts athletes. Methods: In the experiment, 81 patients with thoracolumbar ligament injury who were treated by anterior menstrual route from January 2016 to September 2019 and were followed up divided into titanium mesh group and artificial vertebral body group according to different intervertebral bone graft support materials. Results: All 81 cases were followed up for more than 12 months. There was no significant difference in the Cobb angle and the height of adjacent intervertebral space between the two groups at 1 week and 3 months after surgery (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Thoracolumbar ligament injury anterior decompression is thorough, the reconstruction method conforms to the principle of spine biomechanical distribution, and the spinal cord function recovery is better.
