Abstract:Background:
The thoracolumbar junction (TLJ) represents a transition zone of the spine that leads to a high incidence of fractures. The treatment of burst fractures remains controversial regarding the ideal management. This study assessed the postoperative radiological outcome of TLJ fixation in patients with TLJ injuries who underwent surgery.
