Minimally Invasive Versus Open Fusion for Traumatic Thoracic Vertebral Fractures

This multicenter cohort study identifies key patient and injury characteristics associated with MIS utilization in thoracic trauma. While MIS was associated with some favorable inpatient outcomes, this may be due to selection bias rather than procedural effect. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify appropriate indications and long-term outcomes.

Abstract

This multicenter cohort study identifies key patient and injury characteristics associated with MIS utilization in thoracic trauma. While MIS was associated with some favorable inpatient outcomes, this may be due to selection bias rather than procedural effect. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify appropriate indications and long-term outcomes.
