| Core Tip |
This article highlights key factors influencing long-term pedicle screw stability in thoracolumbar fractures, including bone quality, construct length, and decompression extent. Practical strategies such as computed tomography-based Hounsfield unit and magnetic resonance imaging-based vertebral bone quality score assessment, the use of intermediate screws, and anterior column reconstruction are discussed. Technological advances like coated implants and patient-specific planning are emphasized to enhance long-term outcomes. Integration of these approaches may help reduce implant failure in complex spinal trauma cases. |
