Burst compression fractures of the thoracolumbar spine

Abstract

Burst compression fractures of the thoracolumbar spine are complex injuries. The pathological anatomy has been more clearly defined by state of the art imaging and rational methods of reversing the major portion of the pathology and restoring function are available. At the present in unstable cases requring surgical reduction and fixation, no one surgical implant maybe used in all situations and in all patients. The factor which will effect the choice of implant, include the severity of deformity in particular the degree of destruction to the anterior, column, the presence or absence of neurologic deficit, the age of the age of the patient and degree of osteoporosis and also the patients wishes and needs. At the present dual Harrington rods, contoured into lumbar lordosis using square-ended hooks. Our used stight with Edwards Steeves, remain a relavitely simple end effective means of treating the majority burst compression fractures.
