“…More recently, subtotal corpectomy, decompression followed by placement of a structural bone graft, and anterior instrumentation has allowed direct reconstruction of the weight-bearing column and fusion of the column. 10,11,[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] These authors showed that neurological deficit was always caused by impact and compression to the ventral surface of the spinal cord in most patients with thoracolumbar fractures, and the anterior approach could provide optimal direct exposure for visualization of the ventral aspect of the dura mater during surgical decompression. Therefore, these authors suggested that such procedure would offer the patients with neurological deficit a better chance at improvement than others.…”

“…Eleven papers discussed exclusively the management of the neurologically compromised patient. 4,15,20,30,31,34,42,43,50,55,61 The time interval between injury and the first full neurological assessment and documentation was never stated. The interval between injury and surgery varied from a few hours to many months, but neurological recovery before surgery was never analysed.…”

“…5,15,26,39 More recently, corpectomy followed by placement of a structural bone graft and anterior instrumentation has allowed direct reconstruction of the weight-bearing column and fusion of only 2 levels. 3,4,8,16,18,22,24,[27][28][29]36,37,43,45 Management of burst fracture associated with neurologic deficit has been controversial. Laminectomy alone has been demonstrated to be ineffective for recovery of neurologic dysfunction.…”
