Functional and Surgical Outcomes of Corpectomy in Patients with Unstable Spinal Fractures

CONCLUSIONS: 1. Corpectomy followed by vertebral body replacement is an effective and safe method that enables the restoration of the shape of the vertebra, restoration of the physciological spinal curvature and direct neural decompression. 2. The treatment outcomes are good. Pain significantly decreases and performance improves in most patients. 3. Treatment complications are rare. The most often observed complication was migration of the implant into an adjacent vertebral endplate, fractures above the place of fixation and dura mater injury.PMID:37345629 | DOI:10.5604/01.3001.0053.6159
