Risk factor analysis for predicting vertebral body re-collapse after posterior instrumented fusion in thoracolumbar burst fracture

In the posterior instrumented fusion surgery for thoracolumbar (T-L) burst fracture, early postoperative re-collapse of well-reduced vertebral body fracture could induces critical complications such as correction loss, post-traumatic kyphosis, metal failure, often lead to revision surgery. Furthermore, re-collapse is quite difficult to predict because of the variety of risk factors and no widely accepted accurate prediction systems existed. Although load sharing classification (LSC) has been known to help to decide the need for additional anterior column support, this radiographic scoring system has several critical limitations.
