Abstract:Background: Pedicle screw fixation is a well-established technique for thoracolumbar fracture. A large number of studies have shown that the bending angle of the connecting rod has a significant correlation with the postoperative spinal stability. However, no studies have confirmed an objective indicator to guide the bending angle of the connecting rod during the operation. Our study aims to define a sagittal Cobb* angle to guide the bending angle of the connecting rod during surgery.Methods: The frontal and l… Show more
