Abstract

The prognosis of patients with thoracolumbar spine fractures and neurologic deficits has improved in terms of survival and quality of life since principles of timely fracture reduction, decompression, and stabilization have been implemented. In patients with incomplete spinal cord injuries, acute intervention has been shown to lead to improved neurologic recovery rates. The type of surgical treatment and timing depends upon the fracture type and neurologic status of the patient.
