Comparative study between monosegmental and short segment posterior spinal fixation in treatment of thoracolumbar fractures

Abstract


The majority of thoracic and lumbar fractures occur within the region between T11 and L1, commonly referred to as the thoracolumbar junction. Most of thoracic and lumbar injuries are caused by fall from height and high-energy trauma as a result of motor vehicle accidents, mostly in young adult males.

The aim of this work was to compare between different types of posterior fixation in patients with thoracolumbar spine fractures. The fixation will be divided into two types:

1. Monosegmental (the fractured vertebra and one level above or one level below according to the fractured end plate).

2. Shortsegmental (one level above and one level below the fractured level).
