Minimally Invasive Treatment for Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture Using Sagittal Alignment Screws and A Trauma Reduction Device

Published on: November 8, 2024

  • Expanded indications for revision surgery include pseudarthrosis, adjacent segment degeneration, inadequate decompression, iatrogenic instability, and deformity.
  • Surgical goals focus on achieving fusion (pseudarthrosis), decompression, deformity correction, and stability.

Conclusions:

  • Revision cervical spine reconstruction can be performed safely and effectively.
  • Appropriate patient selection and meticulous surgical planning are paramount for successful outcomes.
