Abstract:
An isolated ventral approach to the thoracal or lumbar spine seems sufficient in special burst fractures (type A2/3) or older compression fractures. The most effective ventral decompression of the spinal cord is followed by the fusion of the ventral body. Ventral plate instrumentation avoid dislocations of the interposed bone transplants. Our own clinical results are demonstrated.
