Thirty-three patients with fractures of the thoracolumbar spine were treated by fusion and Harrington instrumentation after early reduction and stabilisation by postural reduction or halo-bifemoral traction. The rod-long-fuse-short technique was used. Postoperatively, all patients were mobilised with an external support. The mean follow-up was 6 years (range 1-13 years). Twenty-eight patients were pain-free, three patients needed sporadic pain medication. One patient was not working due to pain in his leg. One patient had constant pain. Twenty-three patients returned to work. The mean kyphosis increased from 8 degrees postoperatively to 13 degrees at follow-up.
33例胸腰椎骨折患者在通过体位复位或头环-双股骨牵引进行早期复位和稳定后，采用融合术和哈灵顿器械固定治疗。采用棒长融合短技术。术后，所有患者均使用外部支撑进行活动。平均随访6年（范围1 - 13年）。28例患者无疼痛，3例患者需要偶尔使用止痛药物。1例患者因腿部疼痛无法工作。1例患者持续疼痛。23例患者恢复工作。平均后凸畸形从术后的8度增加到随访时的13度。
