Abstract
The surgical treatment of traumatic vertebral body fractures in patients with good bone quality is controversially discussed. The data situation is unclear and only of limited help due to mainly insufficient evidence. The surgical measures include an axially aligned reduction and an osteosynthesis which is stable under load so that immediate mobilization of the patient is possible. This requires anatomical restoration of the alignment and the biomechanical challenge of fracture healing or fusion in the correct position without relevant loss of reduction must be taken into account. The aim should be the lowest possible loss of function. In the case of existing or impending neurological deficits it is crucial to prevent deterioration of the neurological situation and to achieve the prerequisites for recovery. Posterior stabilization primarily plays the decisive role in the operative treatment. If possible, this should be a minimally invasive procedure and over short distances. For bisegmental treatment monoaxial screws and the use of index screws improve construct stability. In addition, stable cobalt rods should be used as 5mm longitudinal support. Special minimally invasive reduction instruments are helpful in restoring the sagittal and coronal relationships. The indications for an additional ventral column depend on the rigidity of the posterior stabilization, the extent of the injury of the anterior column and the intervertebral disc. Anterior fusion can often be delayed or avoided altogether, depending on the course with corresponding clinical signs.
