ABSTRACT
Thoracolumbar fractures are common axial
skeleton fractures. Mainly affecting T10-L2, considered TL junction. Management
is according to the fracture type and spinal stability. Open traditional
approach carries more complication as compared with minimally invasive
percutaneous fixation, but it is considered having same long term outcome. We
have evaluated our local data if the minimally invasive technique is superior
than the open one in terms of short-term outcome.
It has been seen that MIS for
TLF is superior in terms of early recovery and return to work, when compared
the open technique retrospectively.
