Purpose: The research analyses the strength of metallic implants in posterior spinal instrumentation for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures, considering extended and short fixation techniques on the immediate post-surgical load. Considering that short fixation may bring the advantage of a less invasive surgical procedure to the patient and may also result in lower costs, this evaluation becomes necessary.
Methods: Three-dimensional modelling of the thoracolumbar spine was initially performed.
