“…Eight patients had a total of 16 old thoracolumbar compression fractures at other levels: 4 in adjacent vertebrae, 6 in vertebrae two levels above or below the affected level, and 6 in vertebrae three or more levels above or below the affected level. Their neurological functions were assessed with a modified Frankel grading system (Table 2) [3]. Five patients had deficits of grade C, six had grade D1 deficits, two grade D2 deficits, and one grade D3 deficits.…”

“…Finally, surgical decompression more reliably restores neurologic function and decreases rehabilitation time [3][4][5][6]. The spinal cord must be decompressed at the site of compression if there is intent of relieving the source of pressure [7].…”

“…Preoperative neurologic deficit was classified using the information available at the COSS center according to Bradford and McBride's modification of the Frankel grading system (Table 2) 19 : The location and extension of the spinal tumors (not sacral tumors) could be classified into seven types according to the criteria by Tomita et al 20 ( Table 3). The location and extension of sacral tumors also were classified into four types according to the criteria by Tomita et al 21 ( Table 4, Fig.…”
