“…Anterior column lengthening further leads to a ligamentotaxis effect, which pulls the fragments anteriorly out of the canal. The internal AO fixator provides a fragment reduction by ligamentotaxis using a parallel distraction and a pivot movement of the screws [23]. The reduction mechanism is slightly different from in situ contouring, which works by initial lordosis increase, but both techniques stretch the anterior spine.…”

“…

○ Distance from the posterior margin of fractured segment to that of the vertebral body from top to bottom. The distance between the posterior margin of the fractured segment and that of the adjacent segment reflected the length of the posterior longitudinal ligament, which further reflected the injury of the spinal sequence [19].

○ Cobb angle.

“…TLBFs are generally unstable fractures and [28] surgery is typically required to restore the spinal canal and vertebral alignment [3,[28][29][30]. Surgery decompresses the spinal cord and corrects the vertebral column alignment by using laminectomy and applying transpedicular screws [30]. Surgical procedures have been further developed based on technological advancements.…”

“…Spontaneous resorption of bone fragments in the spinal canal with or without instrumentation has been reported in some cases [3,30] and also surgical and conservative treatment strategies for patients without neurologic deficits have been discussed extensively in the literature [3,[31][32][33].…”
