  • Title: [Stabilization of thoraco-lumbar spinal fractures using Harrington's equipment. Study of the evolution of spinal curvatures].

    Abstract:
    The radiographic results of treatment of unstable thoracolumbar spinal injuries by Harrington rods are reviewed. The loss of initial correction of kyphosis is 8 degrees on average. Correlation between good anatomical reduction and lapse of time before operation, level of instrumentation and solid spinal fusion exists. But, in burst fracture with deficient anterior pilar, the incidence of loss of reduction is important. The influence of Harrington rods on the spine is significant.
