Long constructs have always been widely recommended for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures, due to their biomechanical stability and minimal postoperative loss of correction. However, short constructs have significant advantages, since they enable for better postoperative lumbar mobility and reduce the risk of adjacent segment degeneration. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of hybrid screw/sublaminar bands short constructs, used for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures.
