Three Dimensional Gait Analysis and Electromyography After Stabilisation of Thoracolumbar Spine Fractures Focusing on Possible Temporal Diferences in Physiological Gait Recovery Through Comparison of Open and Minimally Invasive Approaches.

Overview

We prospectively enrolled patients with a thoracic or lumbar spine fracture indicated for instrumented posterior stabilization. We consequently randomized the patient for either a conventional open approach procedure or minimally invasive surgery. 3DGA analysis was carried out at specific time points after surgery together with electromyography of deep-plane back muscles.
