چکیده
Eck and collaborators are to be congratulated for detailing an elegant treatment approach to thoracolumbar burst fractures in their ‘‘Minimally invasive corpectomy and posterior stabilization for lumbar burst fracture’’ case report [1]. Although satisfying, their report leaves us with questions that these authors (and the hundreds of contributors before them) have been unable to answer. Some of these questions include:

Minimally invasive corpectomy and posterior stabilization for lumbar burst fracture.
BACKGROUND CONTEXT Surgical indications for lumbar burst fracture remain controversial. Potential indications for surgery include 50% canal compromise, 50% loss of vertebral height, 30° of kyphosis, and posterior element fracture or disruption of the posterior ligamentous complex. Different surgical approaches are available depending on fracture characteristics. It is possible that a minimally ...
متن کاملAcute Lumbar Burst Fracture Treated by Minimally Invasive Lateral Corpectomy
Burst fractures in acute spinal traumas are a difficult problem to solve. Different approaches and techniques have been utilized, but with high incidence of morbidity and mortality, besides unsatisfactory clinical and radiological results. Mini-open approaches recently emerged and have been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of several spinal conditions. Here we report a case of ac...
متن کاملTraumatic spinal fracture treated by vertebroplasty: a case report
UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Surgical treatment for lumbar burst fractures is complex and typically involves either a retroperitoneal corpectomy and/or a posterior pedicle screw fixation. We describe the case of a patient with a lumbar burst fracture who was cured via a less invasive approach that has not been previously reported as standalone treatment. CASE PRESENTATION This 25-year-old Cauca...
متن کاملSingle Stage Posterior Lumbar-Sacral Reconstruction with Expendable Cage and Iliac Screw for Fifth Lumbar Fracture-Dislocation
Burst fractures most frequently affect the thoracolumbar spine due to the fulcrum of increased motion occurring at the T12-L1 junction. However, isolated burst fractures of the fifth lumbar (L5) vertebra can occur but are very rare. We present a woman with a fracture-dislocation of the fifth lumbar vertebra complicated by neurological damage. She was treated by posterior surgery with transpedic...
متن کاملAnterior corpectomy via the mini-open, extreme lateral, transpsoas approach combined with short-segment posterior fixation for single-level traumatic lumbar burst fractures: analysis of health-related quality of life outcomes and patient satisfaction.
OBJECTIVE The authors present clinical outcome data and satisfaction of patients who underwent minimally invasive vertebral body corpectomy and cage placement via a mini-open, extreme lateral, transpsoas approach and posterior short-segment instrumentation for lumbar burst fractures. METHODS Patients with unstable lumbar burst fractures who underwent corpectomy and anterior column reconstruct...
