Background Since introduction of the pedicle screw-rod system, short-segment pedicle
screw fixation has been widely adopted for thoracolumbar burst fractures (TLBF). Recently …

Posterior pedicle screw fixation has become a popular method for treating thoracolumbar
burst fractures. However, it remains unclear whether additional fixation of more segments …

Abstract Background Currently, Posterior Short Segment Pedicle Screw Fixation is a popular
procedure for treating unstable thoracolumbar/lumbar burst fracture. But progressive …

Background: A review of the literature showed that posterior short-segment fixation including
the fractured vertebra (PSFFV) has better outcomes in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst …

Abstract Background Context Short-segment posterior spinal instrumentation for
thoracolumbar burst fracture provides superior correction of kyphosis by an indirect …

Objective: The treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture is a controversial issue. Short-
segment (SS) pedicle fixation has become a popular treatment option. However, there are …

Study Design. A prospective, randomized study comparing two treatment methods for
thoracolumbar burst fractures: short-segment instrumentation with transpedicular grafting …

RESUlTS 21 patients with 25 thoracolumbar burst fractures were treated with 134
percutaneous screws. There was significant improvement in kyphotic angle correction …

Objective The current literature implies that the use of short-segment pedicle screw fixation
for spinal fractures is dangerous and inappropriate because of its high failure rate, but …

Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness between
percutaneous and open pedicle screw fixation without fusion for treating type A3 and A4 …
