This study sought to assess and compare these two surgical methods.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a prospective review of 20 patients with STB who received a posterior-only intervention (group A) and 20 patients who underwent a combined anterior-posterior procedure (group B).

The average hospital stay for group A was significantly shorter (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2264 0.05). No significant differences were observed in any other measured outcomes between the two groups.
