Objective To evaluate the effect of including the fractured vertebra in the short‐segment
fixation of thoracolumbar (TL) fractures. Methods A total of 32 patients with thoraco‐lumbar …

Objectives Early implant failure and donor-site complication remain a concern in patients
with thoracolumbar burst fracture underwent one-above and-below short-segment posterior …

Introduction The anatomy and biomechanics of the thoracolumbar spine place these
segments at high risk of trauma injuries. Treatment options are either conservative or …

Introduction: The optimal management of thoracolumbar spine fractures remains a matter of
controversy. The current literature implies that the use of short-segment pedicle screw …

Thoracolumbar fractures are relatively common injuries. Numerous classification systems
have been developed to characterize these fractures and their prognostic and therapeutic …

Background Thoracic and lumbar fractures represent nearly 90% of traumatic spine injuries.
Thoracolumbar region is susceptible to injury because of its location between the stiff …

Background: The “gold standard” for instrumentation of unstable thoracolumbar fracture-
dislocations is pedicle screw and rod fixation. Although traditional treatment supports long …

Background. For thoracolumbar burst fractures, traditional four‐screw (one above and one
below) short‐segment instrumentation is popular and has a high failure rate. Additional …

Background Short-segment posterior spinal instrumentation for thoracolumbar burst fracture
provides superior correction of kyphosis by an indirect reduction technique, but it has a high …

Posterior short-segmental fixation is reliable for the management of thoracolumbar fractures;
however, it is associated with recurrence of kyphosis and failure of fixation. This study …
