Short-Segment Instrumentation with Fractured Vertebrae Augmentation by Screws and Bone Substitute for Thoracolumbar Unstable Burst Fractures

<div>A 46-year-old female with L1 burst fracture who underwent an eight-screw long-segment instrumentation (the case with implant failure in the control group). (a) Preoperative radiograph. (b) Immediately postoperative radiograph. (c) The final radiograph showed the rods were broken at L1-2 region.</div>
