Evaluation of Postoperative Clinical and Radiological Outcomes of Thoracolumbar Vertebral Fractures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The most common vertebral fractures occur in the thoracolumbar area, which is the transitional area of the spine (1-3). Thoracolumbar vertebral fractures most commonly occur in young adults (15 to 30 years of age) and may be associated with neurological deficits in 15% to 20% of patients (4, 5).The rate of these fractures is increasing, primarily because of the rising incidence of occupational and traffic accidents (1, 2, 4, 5).

متن کاملA comparative analysis of the efficacy of short-segment pedicle screw fixation with that of long-segment pedicle screw fixation for unstable thoracolumbar spinal burst fractures
The indications for operative treatment and type of stabilization procedures for the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture remain controversial. As surgical reconstruction for the thoracolumbar burst fracture, both long-segment pedicle screw fixation and short-segment pedicle screw fixation including fractured vertebral body have been used widely. The present study evaluated the efficacy of...
