Abstract:
Technological advances in spinal surgery have brought about changes to the theories and methods of treatment of spinal fractures. New techniques, such as pedicle screw fixation, upper cervical fixation, minimal invasive method, computed navigation method, have made it possible that much more spinal fractures can be treated operatively rather than conservatively. These changes have also made the recovery of patients more satisfactory. But if the new techniques are not used properly, they can do harms to the patients. Therefore, how to apply the new techniques properly and avoid unnecessary harms to the patients at the same time is a serious problem that we must face and solve.
