Summary

In this single-center retrospective study, the investigators will include all patients admitted to Parkland Hospital who underwent surgical fixation of thoracolumbar fractures between the years 2000 and 2017. The study investigators will gather demographic, radiographic, and operative information. Patients will be matched according to demographic information in a case-control style. The primary outcome of the study will be comparing the clinical and radiographic outcomes of two surgical techniques in order to establish the best treatment approach for this disease.

Conditions

  • Lumbar Vertebral Fracture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Thoracolumbar Fracture Fixation

The is surgery is preformed on patients who have had a blunt trauma fractures between the T10 and the L2. The surgical management for more severe/unstable fractures usually involves posterior instrumentation with percutaneous or open pedicle screw fixation. While the traditional open pedicle screw fixation technique has demonstrated good radiologic and clinical outcomes, a minimally invasive percutaneous approach has been increasingly used in recent years.
