Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous pedicle fixation in thoracolumbar fractures without neurologic compromise. Methods: The study included patients aged between 18 and 70 with AO thoracolumbar fracture type (A.3) and kyphosis >30° or reduction of vertebral body height >50% or >50% of spinal canal compromise, who underwent surgery with percutaneous pedicle fixation in the first ten days after fracture. Radiological parameters were evaluated: Cobb angle, vertebral collapse, anterior wedging and spinal canal compromise preoperatively, postoperatively and at the end of follow-up. The clinical and functional outcome was assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
