Objective Posterior short-segment fixation (4-screw construct= 4S) is the conventional
surgical technique for thoracolumbar fractures. The effect of adding two intermediate pedicle …

Background: Use of a pedicle screw at the level of fracture, also known as an intermediate
screw, has been shown to improve clinical results in managing thoracolumbar (TL) fractures …

Study Design: Abstract consensus paper with systematic literature review. Objective: The
aim of this study was to establish recommendations for treatment of thoracolumbar spine …

Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Objectives: To compare biomechanical
and functional outcomes between implant removal and implant retention following posterior …

Abstract Purpose of Review We will review the recent literature concerning the necessity of
supplemental fusion to spinal instrumentation and discuss if temporal spinal fixation is a …

Study Design. A retrospective study. Objective. This retrospective study assessed whether
short same-segment fixation (SSSF) is better than short-segment posterior fixation (SSPF) …

Study Design. A biomechanical study. Objective. To study the different biomechanical
property among fixed-axis, monoplanar and polyaxial screws in the static and dynamic tests …

Background Short-segment pedicle screw instrumentation provides superior outcomes in
treating thoracolumbar fractures. Nevertheless, the effect of intermediate screws on the …

Introduction: Spine trauma is a common pathology that frequently requires neurosurgical
intervention. Few studies have examined short-segment, 360-degree stabilization of …

Objectives: To present the functional outcomes, through the first case series in our country,
of patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures (A3, A4), submitted to short posterior fixation …
