Purpose This study evaluated differences in outcome variables between percutaneous,
traditional, and paraspinal posterior open approaches for traumatic thoracolumbar fractures …

Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation has evolved as a useful tool in the management of
spinal trauma. As a minimally invasive approach, it provides the stability of open …

Purpose Traumatic thoracolumbar (TL) fractures are the most common vertebral fractures.
Although a consensus on the preferred treatment is missing, percutaneous pedicle screw …

Purpose Many minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques have been developed for
instrumentation of spine. These MIS techniques restore stability, alignment while achieving …

Percutaneous vertebral augmentation/consolidation techniques are varied. These are
vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and several methods with percutaneous introduction of an …

Objective. In this study, the mechanical properties of the new spinal fixation system (NSFS)
in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures were evaluated by the finite element analysis …

Study Design: This was a retrospective study of the clinical and radiologic outcomes of
traumatic thoracolumbar (TL) burst fractures. Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the clinical …

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study. Objective: To evaluate the effect of O-arm
navigation in percutaneous surgeries for thoracolumbar fracture in comparison to the use of …

BACKGROUND: Flexion-distraction injuries (FDI) represent 5% to 15% of traumatic
thoracolumbar fractures. Treatment depends on the extent of ligamentous involvement …

Background Over the past decade, the techniques for minimally invasive spinal stabilization
have improved significantly. The multiaxial screw utilized in minimally invasive operations is …
