J Spine Surg. 2018 Mar;4(1):138-141. doi: 10.21037/jss.2018.01.02.

Abstract

Over the past decade there has been a revolution in availability for minimally invasive techniques for the fixation of spinal fractures. In this narrative review we aimed to take a comprehensive look at these developments and their results from the Atlas to the Sacrum establishing the current evidence base for percutaneous fixation at each level of the spine.

Keywords: Percutaneous; minimally invasive spine; trauma.
