OBJECTIVE: Clinical and radiologic follow-up of @entity1 with @entity170 with @entity158 , traumatic A3-type vertebral compression @entity174 in the thoracic and lumbar spine. DESIGN: Prospective study over the period of 1 year. SETTING: Level I @entity130 Center. @entity1 AND INTERVENTION: Twenty-five @entity1 with @entity170 (14 @entity1 and 11 @entity1 ) and @entity158 , traumatic A3-type @entity174 were treated with Balloon Kyphoplasty in combination with a short-segment posterior fixation (using the Universal Spine System). Twenty-one @entity1 returned for their 1-year follow-up visit. X-rays were taken preoperatively, postoperatively, and at 3, 6, and 12 months' follow-up to evaluate vertebral height and local Cobb angle. @entity158 was measured using the self-reporting Visual Analogue @entity158 Scale (VAS). Disability was measured using the Oswestry Disability questionnaire (ODI). RESULTS: The mean @entity158 score (VAS) improved significantly from pretreatment to posttreatment from 7.8 +/- 2.2 (5.6-10) to 4.9 +/- 2.1 (2.8-8.0) (P < 0.001). It improved further to 2.9 +/- 1.4 (2.1-4.3) at 3 months and increased slightly after 1 year (3.8 +/- 1.9) (1.9-4.7). Limitation of daily activities (ODI) improved significantly from 88% (78-100) to 35% (15-48) at 3 months (P < 0.05). Improvement was maintained at 1 year at 36.5% (10-42). At 1-year follow-up, maintenance of the height restoration and @entity85 correction was found. CONCLUSIONS: Balloon Kyphoplasty in combination with short-segment posterior instrumentation in traumatic A3 vertebral @entity174 led to a significant reduction in @entity158 and disability. The combination of both surgical techniques was able to restore and maintain vertebral body height and correction of @entity85 . This technique might offer important safety advantages over an invasive anterior-posterior approach.

Balloon kyphoplasty combined with posterior instrumentation for the treatment of XXXX of the spine--1-year results.
