Abstract:Background
This study aimed to determine if the hybrid short-segment (HSS) technique is a good alternative to the intermediate-segment (IS) and long-segment (LS) techniques in pedicle screw fixations for acute thoracolumbar burst fractures (TLBFs).
Methods
In this retrospective evaluation, we examined 43 patients who underwent surgical treatments, including one- or two-level suprajacent (U) and infrajacent (L) pedicle screw fixations, for acute sin… Show more
