To evaluate the efficacy and significance of posterolateral fusion in preventing failure of short-segment stabilization for the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures. ⋯ Posterolateral fusion is an effective measure to prevent implant failure, and decrease loss of correction, posttraumatic kyphosis and neurological deficit during the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures. Short-segment fixation of thoracolumbar burst fractures without fusion obviously increases failure rate and it is not an optional procedure.
