Background Optimal timing for surgical stabilization of the fractured spine is controversial.
Early stabilization facilitates mobilization and theoretically reduces associated …

Background The optimal timing of fracture fixation following spinal injury is controversial.
Many spinal fractures occur as part of polytrauma requiring a complex management …

OBJECTIVE Few studies have investigated the advantages of early spinal stabilization in the
patient with polytrauma in terms of reduction of morbidity and mortality. Previous analyses …

Study Design. A prospective, longitudinal study of multiply injured patients treated with
segmental instrumentation for spinal fractures with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Objectives …

BACKGROUND Because of a lack of evidence, the appropriate timing of surgical
stabilization of thoracic and lumbar spine injuries in severely injured patients is still …

Study Design. Systematic review. Objective. To determine whether early spinal stabilization
in the multiple trauma patient is safe and does not increase morbidity or mortality. Summary …

Methods: The registry of our Level I trauma program was queried for all patients with at least
one spinal vertebral injury. Anatomic and physiologic variables included age, initial Glasgow …

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study conducted at tertiary spinal trauma referral center.
Objective: We aimed to determine if early definitive management of spine fractures in …

Objective To evaluate the effect of timing of spine fracture fixation on outcome in multiply
injured patients. Summary Background Data There is little consensus regarding the optimal …
