Anterior-Posterior Surgery Versus Posterior Closing Wedge Osteotomy in Posttraumatic Kyphosis With Neurologic Compromised Osteoporotic Fracture

Abstract

Although technically demanding, the posterior closing wedge osteotomy procedure demonstrated a better surgical result with significant less mean operative time and mean blood loss (P < 0.05). It may be a better alternative than a combined anterior-posterior procedure in patients with posttraumatic kyphosis and neurologic compromise secondary to osteoporotic fracture.
