Influence of Screw Length and Cement Position Within the Injured Vertebra on Fixation Strength in Short-Segment Fixation of Osteoporotic Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures
Short screws in injured vertebrae without contact with the bone cement can achieve satisfactory stability and stress distribution. It is feasible to implant short screws in the injured vertebrae, reduce the number of bilaterally injured vertebrae, and inject bone cement through the non-pedicle approach during the surgical procedure, which simplifies the surgical process.
