The use of thoracolumbar spinal orthosis in thoracolumbar fractures
Our study concludes that both groups have noticeable reductions in pain postoperatively and have shown decent results with regards to the Short Form 36 (SF-36) scores. However, further research is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the varying effects of bracing versus non bracing long-term outcomes in upper thoracic and thoracolumbar fractures.
