Abstract
Study designProspective multicentric study.ObjectiveThoracolumbar fractures without neurologic deficit are challenging situations in terms of treatment decision making. We aimed to analyze the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) after surgical and nonsurgical treatment and its impact on functional outcomes.Methods198 patients from a prospective multicentric database were included. The occurrence of adverse events and treatment failure within 2 years of follow up were recorded. ODI was compared between patients with and without adverse events at six months, 1 year and 2 years follow up. Multivariable regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between post-treatment adverse events and ODI at 1-year follow-up.Results46 adverse events were recorded (23.2%).
