Patient-reported outcomes after posterior surgical stabilization for thoracolumbar junction fractures: A pilot study with combined patient-reported outcome measure methodology

Conclusion: A combined PROM methodology showed supportive evidence for safety and efficacy in the surgical stabilization of burst TLJFs. This alleviated significant pain and prevented neurological deficit and major disability. The preliminary widespread correlation between these PROMs supports further larger studies of their combined use in clinical practice, to measure the outcomes of spine trauma patients.
