Abstract
Percutaneous instrumentation is an effective method of managing thoracolumbar burst fractures in certain patients, including those with osteoporosis and ankylosing spinal disorders. By reducing the physiological burden on the patient compared to conventional open surgical techniques, percutaneous fixation enables faster mobilization, shorter length of stays, and decreased opioid use. Though the success of this technique is promising, it is critical to continue to practice safe surgical decision-making and to remain up to date on new advancements in percutaneous fixation of burst fractures as the literature expands.
