Description
Summary:Thoracolumbar burst fracture, a common condition in clinic, often leads to severe spinal instability and neurologic deficit. In most cases, the compression that caused by backward protrusion of the fracture fragments to the spinal cord, makes complete decompression difficult through a posterior approach. Here, we reviewed the clinical records of 22 patients with thoracolumbar burst fracture treated by anterior corpectomy, decompression of the spinal cord, and implantation of titanium mesh cage.
