An interventional study of short segment posterior spine fixation and long segment posterior spine fixation in SPINAL Fracture, sponsored by Ain Shams University. Completed. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-09-06.
Sponsored by Ain Shams University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
A prospective study included 91 patients, who had single level thoracolumbar fracture with Cobb's angle ≤ 25⁰, underwent posterior fixation. Forty four patients underwent short segment fixation with screws into the index level, and 47 patients underwent long segment fixation with skipped index level. The angle of correction, pain, and neurological state were regularly assessed

Ran from Feb 2012 to primary completion in Feb 2016, 48 months.
Of 36 interventional studies with no phase under Spinal Fractures, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 13 and three quarters within 70. This study's 48 months is above that.
