Background: Thoracolumbar fractures have the characteristics of acute onset, rapid change, and severe trauma. The best way to treat thoracolumbar fractures is through fracture reduction surgery. The surgical methods include percutaneous pedicle screw, posterior percutaneous pedicle screw internal fixation, and open pedicle screw internal fixation.Methods: We searched the PubMed, Embase, and Medline English database from April 1991 to April 2021, and the keywords included "percutaneous tablet screen", "posterior percutaneous tablet screen fixation", "open tablet screen fixation", "fracture of thoracic vertebrae", "thoracic fractures", "thoracic", and "vascular fracture". RevMan5.3 provided by Cochrane was used for meta-analysis.Results: A total of 9 articles were included in this study. Percutaneous pedicle screw fixation and posterior percutaneous pedicle screw fixation were adopted as the surgical methods, and patients were enrolled into experimental and control groups. Open pedicle screw internal fixation was set as the control group. The mean difference (MD) of operation time, blood loss, pain score, postoperative complications, screw debris
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.
