Description: Posterior pedicle screw fixation with supplemental laminar hook fixation for the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures S. Leduc, J-M Mac-Thiong, G. Maurais, A. Jodoin Can J Surg, Vol. 51, No. 1, February 2008
This study evaluates the clinical relevance of the short-segment pedicle fixation supplemented by laminar hooks (2HS-1SH) construct in the surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures. The 2HS-1SH construct provides significant correction of vertebral body height and local kyphosis. It also preserves the initial correction and minimizes the risk of instrumentation failure.
