Short-segment posterior fixation with index level screws versus long-segment posterior fixation for thoracolumbar spine fracture: angle of correction and pain

Short-segment posterior fixation with index level screws versus long-segment posterior fixation for thoracolumbar spine fracture: angle of correction and pain

Abstract Background Thoracic and lumbar fractures represent nearly 90% of traumatic spine injuries. Thoracolumbar region is susceptible to injury because of its location between the stiff kyphotic thoracic spine and the mobile lordotic lumbar region. To compare between short-segment fixation with sc...
