The primary goal of treatment of the Thoracolumbar spine fracture is keeping patients alive, protecting from further neural damage, obtaining stability by reconstructing anatomical alignment of spinal columns and returning patients to the workplace through early mobilization and rehabilitation. These fundamental principles have not been changed for decades. However, it has been an ongoing controversy in determining treatment methods until now.

From a biomechanical point of view long-segment posterior fixation (LSPF) still represent a biomechanically superior option for treating thoracolumbar burst fractures (BF) ¹⁾.
