Outcome of Anterior Decompression and Stabilization for Thoracolumbar Unstable Burst Fractures in the Absence of Neurologic Deficits

Abstract

Anterior decompression and stabilization for unstable burst fracture without initial neurologic deficits in the thoracolumbar spine has some advantages in the view of anatomical reduction and rigid stability that allows patients an early rehabilitation, return to work, and gainful employment.
