Research Abstract
Background In unstable burst fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine, short segmental
posterior fixation has been associated with a high rate of hardware failure, with recurrence of
deformity. Anterior surgical treatment allows direct decompression of the neural elements
and reconstruction of the weight-bearing column with fusion of only two levels.
