Observational StudyThe Effect of Ligamentotaxis on Clinical and Radiological Outcomes in Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures with High McCormack Grade.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ligamentotaxis performed in combination with the posterior surgical approach in thoracic and lumbar burst fractures due to high-energy trauma with high McCormack scores (≥7). This observational study was conducted at the University of Health Sciences from January 2015 to December 2020. Medical records of 16 patients were retrospectively evaluated. ⋯ Ligamentotaxis effectively increased the spinal canal diameter and provided vertebral height restoration and kyphosis angle correction in thoracolumbar burst fractures with a high McCormack score. However, no significant neurological improvement was observed in cases with neurological deficits, although laminectomy was performed with ligamentotaxis. Key Words: Ligamentotaxis, Lumbar vertebrae, Spine, Thoracic vertebrae, Thoracolumbar burst fractures, Trauma.
