Resumen (ES)

A retrospective study has been made on 26
patients with type II burst Denis fracture (23 cases) and type
IV Denis fracture-dislocation (3 cases) of the thoracolumbar
transition (T11-L2). Treatment consisted on a reduction and a
stabilisation with a single transpedicular fixation (16 cases) or
associated to a posterolateral arthrodesis (10 cases). The
84,6% of the patients carry out a normal life without pain or
with slight problems which do not limit daily activity. The segmental
traumatic average angle of kyphosis improved from
19,4 ± 7,8º to 8,7 ± 11,8º (p < 0,001). When comparing the final
segmental traumatic average angle of kyphosis of the group
of patients with arthrodesis (3,8 ± 6,9º) to the group without
arthrodesis (7,8 ± 8,7º), the differences were not significant.
The 6 patients who presented a marked loss of correction
during the post-operative time, with breakage of material in 5
of them, belonged to the group without arthrodesis, and 4 of
them had a laminectomy performed. The posterolateral arthrodesis
associated to the stabilisation in burst thoracolumbar
transition fractures did not improve the final kyphotic deformity
significantly. The failures of material which brought on a
marked loss of previous correction were related significantly
to laminectomy without arthrodesis.
