| Abstract |
Retrospective cohort. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of percutaneous short fixation (PSFx) plus kyphoplasty (BP) for thoracolumbar fractures. Thirty-six consecutive selected patients, aged 59 ± 17 years, with fresh single thoracolumbar A2, A3, and B2 AO-type fracture, received PSFx plus BP. The primary outcomes pain, and vertebral body deformity; and the secondary outcomes screw malposition, facet violation, PMMA leakage, adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) and loss of correction were evaluated. The f/up was 31 ± 7 months. Pain and kyphosis decreased and vertebral body heights increased significantly postoperation. PMMA leakage occurred in five cases; 6 (4 %) screws were grades III malpositioned in relation to pedicle; facet violation occurred in 8 (5.5 %) facets; loss of kyphosis correction was 3.68°; ASD occurred in two cases; interfacet fusion in ten (28 %) patients; Three patients were reoperated for different reasons. PSFx plus BP for thoracolumbar fractures reduces significantly spinal deformity and pain with few complications. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 August 2016.
All research outputs
#20,337,788
of 22,883,326 outputs
Outputs from European Spine Journal
#3,653
of 4,645 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#299,353
of 342,845 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Spine Journal
#35
of 84 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,883,326 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,645 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 342,845 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 84 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
