The authors present the results obtained in a review of 24 patients with vertebral fractures undergoing surgery by means of posterolateral synthesis and decompression. They conclude by recognising the high degree of reliability of this technique which, with a single operation, permits the decompression of the myeloradicular structures and an immediate and stable reduction of the fracture nidus.
