Abstract:Contemporary clinical practice is progressively shifting towards percutaneous minimally invasive surgery. Conversely, the incorporation of transverse connectors in the design of spinal fixation systems is associated with more invasive open surgical procedures. The primary objective of this investigation was to evaluate the influence of transverse connectors in posterior spinal fixation system designs in cases involving vertebral compression fractures, specifically on selected mechanical parameters of the thora… Show more
