Minimally invasive techniques in thoraco-lumbar spinal traumatology

Abstract

Minimally invasive spinal surgery is becoming very popular in the treatment of thoraco-lumbar fractures and it is very effective as well, replacing or joining traditional “open” surgeries. The Authors report their experience in the minimally invasive treatment of 35 patients and they discuss the technique, its applications and advantages.
