Short-Segment Fixation with Anterior Support versus Long-Segment Fixation with Separation Surgery for Thoracolumbar Spinal Metastatic Tumors : A Comparative Analysis
Short-segment fixation is comparable to long-segment fixation in the management of thoracolumbar metastatic spinal tumors, with no significant differences in radiographic outcomes. However, short-segment fixation provides the added advantages of improved neurological outcomes in the thoracic region and shorter hospital stays.
