Fig. 1From: Posterior monoaxial screw fixation combined with distraction-compression technology assisted endplate reduction for thoracolumbar burst fractures: a retrospective studya. Radiological evaluation using plain lateral radiography. â‘ :Kyphosis angle, â‘¡:vertebral wedge angle; The anterior longitudinal ligament is curly in fracture region. b. Correction of the segmental kyphotic angle was performed indirectly via connecting rods distraction proximally and distally in sequence. The ALL and PLL were straightened as the ligamentotaxis. c. Reduction of the endplate collapse was performed directly by longitudinal compression of intermediate screwsBack to article page
