The surgical approach to treat thoracolumbar fractures is controversial. Case Report: The authors report the case of an L1 fracture-dislocation treated through posterior approach to perform spinal canal decompression, interbody fusion, transpedicular stabilization, posterolateral fusion, and reduction of kyphotic deformity. Conclusion: Minimally invasive surgical procedure with circumferential arthrodesis through the posterior approach could be considered an option to manage selected L1 fracture-dislocation.
