AI Article Synopsis
- The standard approach for treating stable spine fractures is functional rather than surgical.
- Advances in surgical techniques and implant technology have increased the rate of surgical treatment for spine fractures from 10% to 20%.
- Newer implants like plates and fixators enable more stable and shorter immobilization, improving patient outcomes compared to older multi-segmental fixation methods.
Article Abstract
The standard treatment for stable fractures of the spine is functional. Owing to the improvement of surgical methods and special implants, the percentage of operatively treated spine fractures has increased from 10% to 20%. In contrast to the necessity for multisegmental fixation with the rod instruments used formerly, the recently developed implants (plates, fixators) allow stable, brief, and therefore functionally more favourable immobilization.
