Study Design: Multicenter prospective cohort study.
Objectives: Anxiety in combination with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) of the spine remains understudied. The purpose of this study was to analyze whether anxiety has an impact on the short-term functional outcome of patients with an OVCF.
Background: Paediatric thoracolumbar spine injuries are rare, and meaningful epidemiological data are lacking.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to provide epidemiological data for paediatric patients with thoracolumbar spinal trauma in Germany with a view to enhancing future decision-making in relation to the diagnostics and treatment of these patients.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective multicentre study includes patients up to 16 years of age who were suffering from thoracolumbar spine injuries who had been treated in six German spine centres between 01/2010 and 12/2016.

Article Synopsis
- The study involved analyzing surgical strategies and outcomes for patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fractures classified as OF 5 within a larger multicenter cohort of 518 patients.
- Out of 19 patients assessed, different surgical methods were utilized, with no major surgical complications but a 45% occurrence of general postoperative complications reported.
- Results indicated significant improvements in patients' functional outcomes and quality of life at an average follow-up of 20 weeks, highlighting surgical stabilization as an effective treatment despite the associated complication rate.
