'Armed kyphoplasty with posterior stabilization avoids corpectomy in complex thoracolumbar spine fractures: a case series

Conclusions Combined AKP and PS is feasible and effective in the treatment of complex thoracolumbar fractures of all etiologies. AKP avoided highly invasive corpectomy. Anterior and posterior support ensured stability, preventing implant failure and re-fracture. The complication rate was low compared with more invasive traditional 360° open surgical approaches.
