Fig. 3From: Comparison of monoplanar and polyaxial screw fixation systems in percutaneous intermediate fixation for thoracolumbar fracturesA 39-year-old male patient from the MPPS group. Preoperative X-ray (a) and CT (b) demonstrated T12 AO type B2A3 fracture without apparent neurological deficit. There was marked widening of the interspinous distance between T11 and T12. MRI (c) showed fresh fracture of the T12 vertebral and interspinous ligament injury. Postoperative X-ray (d) and CT (e - f) showed satisfactory traumatic kyphosis correction and vertebral height restoration. X-ray image (g) at 15 months following surgeryBack to article page
