Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Thoracolumbar burst fractures with compression to less than 40% of the original anterior vertebral height and without neurological deficit are considered to be stable injuries. Most of these patients are treated conservatively while fewer are treated operatively with reduction and fixation and fusion either anteriorly, posteriorly, or through a combination of both approaches. However, there are still a significant number of patients with residual back pain. There is currently no data available for these patients treated with pedicle screw fixation without decompression and fusion.
