Applications of the SpineJack device in the surgical management of type A4 lumbar burst fractures without neurological deficit: illustrative cases
The SpineJack device is a viable, less invasive alternative to traditional pedicle screw constructs and serves as an effective adjunct for stabilization, potentially replacing corpectomy in some cases. It restores VBH and alignment, maintains load-bearing capacity, and reduces the need for additional hardware. Further research is needed to evaluate long-term outcomes, especially in younger patients. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24821.
