unstable fracture surgically. It is well documented in various
studies that the best result can be obtained by surgical
treatment. The goal of the surgical treatment of unstable
thoracolumbar injuries is optimizing neural decompression
while providing stable internal fixation over the least number of
spinal segments. Transpedicular screw fixation is one of the
methods of surgical treatment. The aim of the present study is
to evaluate effectiveness of spinal stabilization with pedicular
screw in the management of thoraco-lumbar fractures in
restoring structural stability and improving neurological status
of the patient.
This prospective type of study will be carried out in National
Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
(NITOR) for one year from the date of submission of protocol.
Total 30 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be included
in this study to evaluate the neurological outcome after fixation
of unstable spinal fracture with pedicular screw. Informed
written consent will be taken from the selected patients.
Regular follow up will be done for each patient at least 6(six)
months after operation. Results will be evaluated according to
prescribed scoring system ASA. Data will be analyzed by
SPSS data analysis program version 20. Level of significance
will be set at 0.05 (P<0.05).
