Study design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Objective Historically, posterior
approaches to the lumbar spine have allowed surgeons to manage degenerative conditions …

Background Thoracolumbar fractures are most frequent along the spine, and surgical
treatment is indicated for unstable fractures. Percutaneous minimally invasive surgery was …

Introduction Flexion-distraction fractures represent around 15% of all thoracolumbar
fractures, with neurological deficit in 25% of cases. Optimal surgical strategy remains …

Background Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation (PPSF) without fusion has been recently
recommended in the treatment of thoracolumbar fracture to reduce the adverse effects …

Objective The type AO B2 thoracolumbar fracture is a kind of flexion‐distraction injury and
the effect of disc injury on treatment results of patients with B2 fracture remains unclear. The …

Currently the most useful system for defining TL fractures is the AO classification system. The
best initial imaging modality is computerize tomography (CT) scan, with magnetic resonance …

BACKGROUND Chance fractures are unstable due to horizontal extension of the injury,
disrupting all three columns of the vertebra. Since being first described in 1948, Chance …

Objective Controversy exists in treatment of thoracolumbar fractures without neurologic
deficits. Percutaneous pedicle screw implantation with external frame is a less invasive …

OBJECTIVE Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques can effectively stabilize and
decompress many thoracolumbar injuries with decreased morbidity and tissue destruction …

Objective: To analyse the clinical characteristics of thoracolumbar fractures combined with
posterior column injury, and explore its intraoperative reduction technique with clinical …
