OBJECTIVES: Treatment of choice at stable @entity174 is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study is assessment of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) regarding short form-36 (SF-36) and its correlation with @entity1513 in @entity1 affected by thoracolumbar @entity174 without @entity51 undergoing posterior short segment pedicular screw fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty @entity1 with thoracolumbar @entity174 without @entity51 , meeting our criteria were enrolled in this study. The @entity1 underwent short segment pedicular screw fixation. After 2 years of follow-up, the outcome assessment was performed with evaluating HRQOL; SF-36. The mean    standard deviation was measured at each eight category of SF-36 and compared with normative values of Iran. The correlation of Cobb angle and @entity158 was analyzed by linear regression. RESULTS: The study detected reduced quality of life (QOL), with total mean of 49.7    14 and physical function grade of 61.2    22 which was significantly lower than Iran normative reported as 85.9    19. Fifty percent still suffered from moderate to severe @entity158 and Cobb angle had no statistically significant correlation with @entity158 . CONCLUSIONS: It seems that surgical treatment could not improve @entity158 related disability of @entity1 with stable thoracolumbar @entity174 at long term follow up.

The long-term efficacy of pedicular screw fixation at @entity1 suffering from thoracolumbar XXXX without @entity51 .
