Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

In this single-center retrospective study, the investigators will include all patients admitted to Parkland Hospital who underwent surgical fixation of thoracolumbar fractures between the years 2000 and 2017. The study investigators will gather demographic, radiographic, and operative information. Patients will be matched according to demographic information in a case-control style. The primary outcome of the study will be comparing the clinical and radiographic outcomes of two surgical techniques in order to establish the best treatment approach for this disease.
