Abstract
From 1986 to 1990, 100 patients had open reduction and posterior stabilisation with Harrington rods for traumatic fractures. There were 73 male and 27 female. The average ages were 33 of 15 patients also had inter spinal wiring in addition to Harrington rods. All patients were rehabilitate with semiflexible TLSO for six months postoperatively. The most frequent complication was urinary tractus infection. In spite of early mobilisation on the 14th. day 58 patients suffered from urinary infection. Recovery of neurologic deficit in incomplete cases was better than the complete cases. Patients which had complete neurologic deficit rarely showed any improvement.
