Background Posterior long-segment (LS) fixation, short-segment (SS) fixation, and short
segment fixation with intermediate screws (SI) have shown good outcomes for the treatment …

Background To compare the biomechanical characteristics of different posterior intermediate
screw fixation techniques (ISFTs) with hybrid monoaxial pedicle screws (Mps) and polyaxial …

Treatment of unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures remains controversial. Long-segment
pedicle screw constructs may be stiffer and impart greater forces on adjacent segments …

When treating thoracolumbar burst fractures (BF), short-segment posterior fixation (SSPF)
represents a less invasive alternative to the traditional long-segment posterior fixation …

Posterior pedicle fixation technique is a common method for treating thoracolumbar burst
fractures, but the effect of different fixation techniques on the postoperative spinal …

Background Traditional one-above and one-below four-screw posterior short-segment
instrumentation is used for unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures. However, this method …

Intermediate screw fixation at the fracture level has been widely accepted to treat
thoracolumbar burst fractures, but no study has shown the effect of the extent and location of …

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical performance of 6 pedicle
screw internal fixation strategies for the treatment of burst fractures of the thoracolumbar …

Background Posterior fixation alone may not be adequate to achieve and maintain burst
fracture reduction. Adding screws in the fractured body may improve construct stiffness. This …

Posterior instrumentation is a common fixation method used to treat thoracolumbar burst
fractures. However, the role of different cross‐link configurations in improving fixation …
