Three-column reconstruction through the posterior approach alone for the treatment of a severe lumbar burst fracture: a case report

Generally, patients with severe burst fractures, instability, or neurological deficits require surgical treatment. In most cases, circumferential reconstruction is performed. Surgical methods for three-column include anterior, lateral, and posterior approaches. cases involving an anterior lateral approach, collaboration general thoracic surgeons may be necessary because the adjacent anatomical structures are unfamiliar to spinal surgeons. Risks vascular lumbar plexus injuries cage displacement, in additional fusion surgery required. However, approach common anatomically familiar performing surgery. We present a case which was performed using only treat patient fracture. Keywords: Lumbar vertebrae; Spinal fractures; injuries; fusion; Case reports
