Demographic information, operative parameters, perioperative radiographic measurements, and complications were analyzed.

Lumbar corpectomies with anterior column support were performed (L-1, n = 8; L-2, n = 2; L-3, n = 2) and supplemented with short-segment posterior instrumentation (4 open, 8 percutaneous). Four patients had preoperative neurological deficits, all of which improved after surgery. No new neurological complications were noted. The anterior incision on average was 6.4 cm (range 5\u20138 cm) in length, caused mild pain and disability, and was aesthetically acceptable to the large majority of patients. Three patients required chest tube placement for pleural violation, and 1 patient required reoperation for cage subsidence\/hardware failure. Average clinical follow-up was 38 months (range 16\u201368 months), and average radiographic follow-up was 37 months (range 6\u201368 months). Preoperative lumbar lordosis and focal lordosis were significantly improved\/maintained after surgery. Patients were satisfied with their outcomes, had minimal\/moderate disability (average ODI score 20, range 0\u201352), and had good physical (SF-12 physical component score 41.7% \u00b1 10.4%) and mental health outcomes (SF-12 mental component score 50.2% \u00b1 11.6%) after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Anterior corpectomy and cage placement via a mini-open, extreme lateral, transpsoas approach supplemented by short-segment posterior instrumentation is a safe, effective alternative to conventional approaches in the treatment of single-level unstable burst fractures and is associated with excellent functional outcomes and patient satisfaction.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2015.4.spine14944","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,2]],"date-time":"2015-10-02T10:03:43Z","timestamp":1443780223000},"page":"60-68","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Anterior corpectomy via the mini-open, extreme lateral, transpsoas approach combined with short-segment posterior fixation for single-level traumatic lumbar burst fractures: analysis of health-related quality of life outcomes and patient satisfaction"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Alexander A.","family":"Theologis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ehsan","family":"Tabaraee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Toogood","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abbey","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harjus","family":"Birk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
