Results of reduction and stabilization of the severely fractured thoracic and lumbar spine

JH Dickson, PR Harrington and WD Erwin

From 1962 to 1976, ninety-five patients with fracture-dislocations of the spine were treated with Harrington instrumentation and fusion within ninety days of injury. This report presents the results of this procedure related to reduction, stabilization, return of neural function, and total hospital stay. Mean follow-up was twenty-one months. Reduction and stabilization were attained without a substantial number of complications, but no more return of neural function in the patients was evident than has been reported in the literature for patients treated with postural reduction and bed rest. Total hospital stay averaged 107 days from day of injury.
