Abstract:
In vertebral fractures, the size of the reductions in the anterior height and the deformity of the body are directly correlated to the intensity of the pain. Among the various therapeutic options, mini-invasive stabilization has been shown to obtain effective antalgic results in the short term, allowing a reduction in hospitalization time, the use of a corset, the employment of analgesic drugs and improvement of quality of life. Clinical improvement can be consequent to re-balancing the biomechanics and the physiological resistance of the vertebrae.

01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
