Abstract
This point system can be used preoperatively to: 1) predict screw breakage when short segment, posteriorly placed pedicle screw implants are being used, 2) describe any spinal injury for retrospective studies, or 3) select spinal fractures for anterior reconstruction with strut graft, short-segment-type reconstruction.
