METHODS: Twentythree patients with thoracolumbar flexion compression factures underwent the operation of posterior reduction , graft fusion and fixation of the upper adjacent intervertebral space. The preoperative and postoperative imaging findings were summarized and the results were analyzed. RESULTS: All cases were followed up for a period of 12 months. The mean height of anterior margin of injured vertebral bodies was 19 mm before surgery, and respectively corrected to 31 mm and 29 mm at the time of 1 week and 12 months after surgery. The mean of Cobbs angle was 21 ° before surgery and respectively corrected to 6 ° and 9 ° at 1 week and 12 months after surgery. CONCLUSION: Posterior fixation of single intervertebral space for treatment of patients with thoracolumbar flexion fractures can achieve a good reduction. Loss of correction degree is a little during the longterm followup. Besides, it can keep the function of other intervertebral spaces as much as possible.

Method : The surgery of 23 patients preoperative and postoperative imaging were reviewed, and the results analyzed. Results: 23 patients after 12 mo follow-up, measured by X-rays pre-and
