Treatment of posttraumatic thoracolumbar fractures using SpineJack for vertebral body augmentation, a single-center retrospective, and observational cohort study of 226 cases.

ABSTRACT:

Context

Thoracolumbar spine fractures are frequent and the treatments are debatable because of the lack of randomized control studies and of low number of patient series. Percutaneous Vertebral Body Augmentation using SpineJack prosthesis (SJPVBA) followed by bracing is an available mini-invasive technique. The aim of the study was to assess the imaging and functional results of the largest homogeneous cohort of SJPVBA.

Materials and methods

Every patient who sustained a posttraumatic thoracolumbar vertebral fractures treated by SJPVBA from the January 6, 2012, to January 6, 2020, was retrosepctively included. The main outcome measure was the height of the vertebral body (anterior/middle/posterior parts) on the sagittal computed tomography scan. The secondary outcome measure
