Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Thoracolumbar burst fractures are some of the most common spinal injuries. The mostly accepted goal of surgical treatment of thoracolumbar fractures is to achieve a more stable fixation using fewer vertebrae in order to reduce junctional problems in adjacent segments and preserve as much spinal mobility as possible. But, posterior short segment fixations, without fracture segment fixation, result in implant failure rates of 5–94%. Those reports prompted studies of the efficacy of long and intermediate segment fixation.
