The objective of this study is to use an in vitro biomechanical design to examine the flexibility differences of intervertebral discs adjacent and next-adjacent to burst fracture vertebrae. Ten cadaveric thoracolumbar (T11u2013L3) spines with L1 burst fracture included adjacent (T12u2013L1, L1u2013...
@SarahGen-- I am glad you are doing well. I had the same fracture, from a bad fall. My L1 (lumbar 1) vertebrae was fractured, I also had a fusion procedure done like you. Unfortunately, my fracture brought on more complications. I was hospitalized again soon after the surgery because...

Objective: To present a novel technique aiming at fusion of the upper and lower vertebrae by removal of the anterior and posterior elements of a lumbar vertebra. Methods: A 26-year-old male patient presented with a posttraumatic L1 vertebra fracture and total paraplegia. Three weeks after corpec...
People who met the following criteria were excluded: (1) fractures of > 2 vertebrae, (2) single-vertebra fracture with a dislocation, and (3) had follow-up at < 12 months. Surgery procedure Forty-one patients underwent PPSF surgery, and fifteen of them underwent further TED surgery after...
Changes in the overall sequence of vertebrae often occur after thoracolumbar burst fracture, with disruption of the relative positions of the upper and lower vertebrae. Therefore, we measured both Cobb angle and the distance between the posterior margin of the fracture segment and the neighboring segm...
To evaluate the biomechanical properties of short-segment Schanz screw implanted in an oblique downward direction for the treatment of lumbar 1 burst fracture using a finite element analysis. Methods The Universal Spine System (USS) fixation model for adjacent upper and lower vertebrae (T12 and L2)...

The Cobb angle was determined by measuring the angle formed between the two tangents of the upper and lower endplates of the vertebrae above and below the fracture [13]. Canal compromise was assessed by calculating the ratio of the spinal canal diameter at the index level to the average of...
