Outcomes of Including Fracture Level in Short- Segment Fixation for Th oracolumbar Fracture Dislocation.

Conclusions: Inclusion of the fracture level in short-segment fixation for thoracolumbar fracture dislocation (McCormack load-sharing score ≤6) gives good kyphosis correction and correction maintenance. It can also obviate the need for traditional long-segment fixation. PMID: 30326687 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
