Vertebral Augmentation and Percutaneous Fixation for Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures Requiring Corpectomy
Starting soon
Conditions studied: Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures
In brief
This study evaluates minimally invasive vertebral augmentation combined with percutaneous fixation for the treatment of severe thoracolumbar burst fractures. Traditionally, fractures with a Load Sharing Classification (LSC) score ≥7 require corpectomy, which is associated with significant morbidity. Newer techniques, such as vertebral expansion devices, may restore vertebral height and alignment while reducing the need for invasive anterior procedures. This study aims to assess their effectiveness in this population.
