Spine fracture showdown: surgery or not?
NCT ID NCT05003180
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at people with a single broken bone in the middle-to-lower back (thoracolumbar burst fracture) but no nerve damage. It compares two standard treatments: surgery and non-surgical care (like a brace). The goal is to see which approach leads to better daily function and less disability one year after the injury. About 202 adults aged 18-66 are taking part.
