Radiological and mid-to longterm patient-reported outcome after stabilization of traumatic thoraco-lumbar spinal fractures using an expandable vertebral body replacement implant

Lang, S., Neumann, C., Schwaiger, C., Voss, A., Alt, V., Loibl, M., & Kerschbaum, M. (2021). Radiological and mid-to longterm patient-reported outcome after stabilization of traumatic thoraco-lumbar spinal fractures using an expandable vertebral body replacement implant. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 22(1):744.

The aim of this study was to analyze the radiological results as well as the mid- to long-term patient-reported outcome; (PRO) after dorso-ventral stabilization of traumatic fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine with the distractable vertebral body replacement (VBR) obeliscTM for the reconstruction of the anterior spine.
