Introduction Goals of surgical treatment for unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures • restore stability of the vertebral column • decompress the spinal canal • facilitateearly mobilization of the patients Surgical treatment of burst fractures • an extensive, huge, and very invasive procedure that requires a large opening with a long skin incision • Anterior Approach • significant invasion of the retroperitoneal space or thoracic cavity with wide dissection • prolonged operation and hospitalization time • blood loss, donor site complaints, increased morbidity and even mortality • Posterior Approach • extensive dissection of paraspinal muscles of the back • : may lead to muscular denervation & necrosis • => resulting in prolonged postoperative pain and disability • resection of posterior elements of the spine Kim Hyeun Sung (ilovespine.com)
Material and Methods Denis Three-column Concept : Burst fracture : 2 or 3 column injury • anterior height < 50% of posterior height (kyphosis), > 50% canal compromise • angular deformity greater than 20°, progressive kyphosis • multiple contiguous fractures • any neurologic injury • in patients with extensive associated injuries Material • From January 2007 to September 2008: 11 patients Inclusion criteria • > 50% loss of anterior vertebral height, > 50% canal compromise • kyphotic angle more than 20 • Three column injury according to the Denis 3-column injury theory Kim Hyeun Sung (ilovespine.com)

Discussion Thoracolumbar burst fracture • Treatment : Stabilization and decompression • If does not need decompression of the neural element : posterior approach Short segment posterior fixation • Main advantage : to preserve the motion segment compared to long level fixation • Disadvantage : difficulty in restoring the anterior column • : doesnot lead to satisfactory decompression • Lead to secondary kyphosis • Drawbacks & Sequela • Persistent low back pain • iatrogenic muscle denervation • atrophy & decreased trunk extensor strength • Need a less invasive techniques Limitation of percutaneous pedicle screwing inthoracolumbar junction • Systems for percutaneous pedicle screws : developed for lordotic lumbar spine • More difficult to apply in the thoracolumbar region : kyphoticangulation Kim Hyeun Sung (ilovespine.com)

Discussion Initial After Operation 1 years later Rationale of Screw reinforcing Percutaneous short Segment Screwing • Postural reduction :anterior column restoration,spinal alignment correction,no need decompression • Bone cement augmentation : Maintain spinal stability, Maintain restored anterior column • PercutaneousTranspedicular screwing : No open surgery • Bone fusion : Fracture site itself Thoracolumbar junction kyphosis in Percutaneous screwing system • Percutanoues screwing system : lordosis setting • Rod rotation : under the C-guide using the firm rod holder • Rod fixation : kyphotic setting Advantages of the screw reinforced percutaneous stabilization Reduce the dissections of the paraspinal muscles and posterior spinal elements. Reduce the intraoperative bleeding, the operation time, the anesthesia time, infection, dural tear, etc. Early ambulation Reduce the hospital day Reduce the postoperative pain Kim Hyeun Sung (ilovespine.com)
Discussion In the management of unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures, percutaneous short segment pedicle screw fixation with hydroxyapatite or bone cement augmentation following postural reduction can be used to reduce the total levels of pedicle screw fixation and to correct kyphotic deformities, also, to reduce the several complications in open surgery.
