DOI: 10.1080/02688697.2025.2494864
Abstract: BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) infections involving the C2 vertebra (C2 TB) are uncommon and surgery is their primary treatment. Although occipitocervical fusion is presently the main surgical intervention for the disease-helping in restoring spinal stability, it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05109-y
Abstract: Background To retrospectively compare clinical and radiological results of long-segment fixation (LF) and six-screw short-segment fixation combined with kyphoplasty (SSFK) for osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fracture (OTBF). Methods Forty patients affected by OTBF with mean age… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12891-025-09065-1
Abstract: Combined anterior-posterior fixation offers significant advantages in reconstructing spinal stability, correcting kyphotic deformities, and achieving neural decompression. However, osteoporosis increases the surgical risks associated with this technique, and relevant studies remain limited. This study aimed… read more here.

Incidence and Associated Factors for Kyphosis Progression in Short-Segment Fixation Thoracolumbar Spine Fractures
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "International Journal of Spine Surgery"
DOI: 10.14444/8343
Abstract: Background The thoracolumbar spine is the most frequently affected portion of the spine during fractures. In surgical management, short-segment fixation is the treatment of choice because of preserved spine motion and fewer complications. However, this… read more here.
