Abstract
This study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting anterior fixation alone for flexion-distraction injuries. Findings suggest that current measurements of radiographic failure including segmental translation and kyphosis may predict radiographic failure and need for further surgical stabilization in some patients. Future follow-up studies assessing for independent risk factors for anterior approach failure with a validated predictive scoring model should be considered.
