Background: Management of thoracolumbar fractures remains controversial in the literature. The primary aims of this study were to assess different levels of fixation with respect to radiological outcomes in terms of fracture reduction and future loss of correction.
Methods: This is a single center, retrospective study.
Objectives: The objectives of this review are to determine the level of evidence for the management of OCF, compare outcomes of different immobilisation, and to review the prognosis.
Patients And Methods: A literature search was conducted using 3 databases (MEDLINE, PubMed and EMBASE). All papers between 1940 and July 2017 were screened using PRISMA guidelines.
Introduction: Management of thoracolumbar fractures remains controversial in the literature. The primary aims of this study were to assess different levels of fixation with respect to radiological outcomes in terms of fracture reduction and future loss of correction.
Methods: This is a single center, retrospective study.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study and systematic literature review.
Objective: To compare the functional outcomes for lumbar spinal fusion in both compensation and noncompensation patients in an environment of universal no fault compensation and then to compare these outcomes with those in worker's compensation and nonworkers compensation cohorts from other countries.
Summary Of Background Data: Compensation has an adverse effect on outcomes in spine fusion possibly based on adversarial environment, delayed resolution of claims and care, and increased compensation associated with prolonged disability.
