About this trial

We prospectively enrolled patients with a thoracic or lumbar spine fracture indicated for instrumented posterior stabilization. We consequently randomized the patient for either a conventional open approach procedure or minimally invasive surgery. 3DGA analysis was carried out at specific time points after surgery together with electromyography of deep-plane back muscles.
