NCT02719340 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 20

Last updated 2016-03-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Although long-segment posterior spinal fixation might provide more rigid fixation, the procedure increases perioperative morbidities in the elderly. The present study reviews the results of short-segment decompression and reconstruction in thoracolumbar fragile fractures.

Interventions

PROCEDURE
