Different pedicle osteosynthesis for thoracolumbar vertebral fractures in elderly patients

[摘要] IntroductionPedicle screws’ stability, especially in osteoporotic fractures, is a really problem for spinal surgeons. Nowadays, little is known about the influence of different screw types and amount of cement applied. This single-center retrospective observational study has the aim of evaluating the middle- to long-term mechanical performances of different types of screws in elderly patients with thoracolumbar fractures.
