Spine, 08/09/2012
Wang Q et al. – This technique is indicated for most patients with rigid post–traumatic kyphosis in the thoracolumbar spine and can yield satisfactory clinical results not only in terms of pain relief, kyphosis correction, vertebral height restoration, and spinal canal integrity preservation, but also in reducing the risk of excessive bleeding and spinal cord injury.
