No difference in posterior short segment fixation with or without fusion .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Posterior Short-Segment Fixation with or without Fusion for Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2009 May;91(5):1033-4173 patients with a single-level thoracolumbar burst fractures (Denis type-B) were randomized to short-segment fixation using either pedicle screw fixation with or without spinal fusion. Results, following a minimum of 5 year follow-up, indicated that there were no significant differences in radiological or clinical outcomes between these two groups. The study findings suggested that spinal fusion was unnecessary for the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures.
