Abstract
The majority of fractures can be managed non-operatively with early mobilization and bracing. Surgical stabilization is indicated in unstable fractures. Posterior stabilization with pedicle screws is the most widely used technique; simultaneous decompression can also be achieved with this approach. Anterior surgery has biomechanical advantages and has been shown to be equally effective.
