Description
Deepak Ranade, Apurva Satish Lachake, and Ramis Aziz wrote a 2026 review on surgery for burst fractures where the chest and lower back meet. The title calls the work a prospective study, but the head describes a systematic review with the authors' own case series. Surgeons can rebuild the spine from the front or fix it from the back, and no consensus exists.
Tradition holds the front route costs more blood and time, with no better nerve outcomes. Biomechanics studies, though, give the front route some edges, renewing interest in it. The authors weigh that evidence and add their cases. Reviews like this help trauma teams choose an approach by injury pattern rather than habit.
