A retrospective study was performed on the operative results following @entity3604 with @entity16 . We sought to investigate the results of operative decompression and stabilization in @entity1 with @entity51 as a result of an @entity3604 . We examined the postoperative radiographic outcomes, level of disability, functional outcomes, and complications. Compression @entity174 of the anterior vertebral column secondary to @entity170 and minimal @entity130 are a common clinical entity. These @entity174 are often effectively treated by nonoperative means. However, compressive failure of the middle vertebral column can lead to retropulsion of vertebral body fragments with significant canal compromise and @entity16 . Treatment of these more severe injuries becomes more difficult and is less well established. Functional outcomes and disability from @entity158 have not been examined. Previous reports on this subject have documented generally good results but have given few specific data regarding outcomes. We retrospectively report on a series of 10 @entity1 , from 1995 to 1998, with @entity3604 , which led to varying degrees of @entity16 . There were nine female and one male @entity1 with a mean age of 76 years. Nine of the 10 @entity1 presented more than 1 month following the onset of neurologic symptoms; 70% of the @entity174 occurred at the thoracolumbar junction (T11-L2). Mean loss of anterior column height was 59%, with significant @entity1513 (mean 28 degrees) in nine of the 10 @entity174 . Mean canal compromise was 41%. At presentation, seven @entity1 were Frankel grade D and three were Frankel grade C. All @entity1 were treated operatively with decompression and arthrodesis. Mean time to follow-up was 16 months. Six of the 10 @entity1 had improvement of their Frankel grade postoperatively and one deteriorated neurologically. Seven of the eight surviving @entity1 completed the Oswestry questionnaire with a mean score of 44%, representing severe disability secondary to @entity1643 . The Physical Component score of the SF-36 was at or below the national mean for each @entity1 . Complications were present in six of the eight surviving @entity1 . @entity3604 are not benign. Careful evaluation for @entity16 is warranted. Neurologic recovery occurred in six of the 10 @entity1 ; however, significant disability secondary to @entity158 was common.
