  1. C* Conventional tracer fixation group
  2. M* Modified tracer minimally invasive fixation group
  3. Dimension of wound refered to the one of tracer fixation. In the group of modified tracer minimally invasive fixation, the fixators were Kirschner wire, 1.5 mm, and the size of the wound is calculated by 1.5 mm multiplying by the number of Kirschner wires. Amount of wound bleeding and time of fixation refered to the one of tracer fixation, respectively. The complication refered to spinal cord or nerve root injury when the tracer was fixed
