PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of posterior indirect reduction and pedicle screw fixation without laminectomy for the treatment of Denis type B thoracolumbar burst @entity174 with @entity51 . METHODS: From March 2008 to May 2012, 36 consecutive @entity1 of Denis type B thoracolumbar burst with @entity51 were enrolled. All of the @entity1 accepted the treatments of posterior indirect reduction and pedicle screw fixation without laminectomy. Clinical and radiologic outcomes were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS: Operations were performed in a relatively short time without massive @entity548 . Their neurologic functions were improved by at least one Frankel grade. The average score of American @entity3510 Association (ASIA) motor increased from 25.4        10.8 to 42.1        10.5, and the recovery rate of the ASIA score was also increased. The @entity158 level was relieved for all the @entity1 . The local kyphosis angle was reduced from 25.9          3.4   to 6.9          2.2   (P <0.05) and remained 7.9          2.0   (P   >   0.05) at the latest follow-up. After the operation, the mean vertebral canal diameter increased from 5.5        1.3 to 11.1        2.2 mm (P   <   0.05) and the mean canal stenosis index increased from 32.9        7.8 to 84.8        7.3 % (P   <   0.05). There were no serious complications and fixation failures during follow-up. CONCLUSION: Denis type B thoracolumbar burst @entity174 with @entity51 can be effectively treated by posterior indirect reduction and pedicle screw fixation without laminectomy.
