  • Title: Operative treatment of spinal fractures with the AO internal fixator.
    Author: Esses SI, Botsford DJ, Wright T, Bednar D, Bailey S.
    Journal: Spine (Phila Pa 1976); 1991 Mar; 16(3 Suppl):S146-50. PubMed ID: 2028330.
    Abstract:
    A multicentered prospective trial to investigate the usefulness of the AO spinal internal fixator for the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures and fracture-dislocations was undertaken. This pedicle screw-rod system was effective in stabilizing a variety of unstable fracture patterns. It was effective in decompressing the canal of retropulsed bony fragments associated with burst fractures. By the use of this implant, sagittal plane deformity was easily corrected.
