Comparison of surgical techniques for managing patients with rigid posttraumatic thoracic and lumbar deformities

Objective: to analyze of surgical outcomes in patients with rigid post-traumatic deformities of thoracic and lumbar spine. Material and methods. The analyzed cohort (80 patients) was divided into 2 groups: Group 1 - patients with the consequences of stable vertebral injuries (type A; 40 patients - 50.0 percent); Group 2 - patients who suffered unstable spinal injuries (types В and C; 40 patients - 50.0 percent). Surgical management was either isolated performed from the ventral approach or combined staged interventions. Results. In Group 1, staged interventions took longer, featured larger blood loss (p
