Abstract :

The aim of this study was to evaluation of outcome of transpedicular decompression and instrumented fusion in thoracic and thoracolumbar fracture in the following headings: 1.To Evaluate Functional outcome by SCIM Score . We include 30 patients and score was recorded from admission, preoperatively, immediate post operatively at the time of discharge and follow up period( 1 month, 6 month, 1 year ) and evaluate the patients in the basis of SCIM SCORE , radiological outcome by kyphotic angle . Final score range of SCIM score is 0 to 100 . In this study we found that there is gradual and excellent improvement in functional outcome in patients daily life . with the help of walking aids , wheelchair/ physiotherapy patients improve their routine lifestyle after undergo transpedicular decompression and instrumented fusion. In this study we found that there is gradual and excellent improvement in functional outcome in patients daily life .Mean SCIM score at pre op is 23.84(SD 4.09) and at final follow up is 58.66 (SD 17.55) p–value <.0001
