Comparison of Three Treatment Strategies for Traumatic AO Type A1 Vertebral Fractures
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
This retrospective study evaluates three different treatment approaches used for traumatic AO Spine Type A1 (A1) vertebral fractures: orthopedic bracing, percutaneous vertebroplasty, and spinal arthrodesis. Traumatic A1 fractures are stable compression fractures that occur after high-energy events such as falls, traffic accidents, or heavy lifting. These injuries often affect working-age adults and can lead to significant pain, temporary disability, and delays in returning to work. The study analyzes real-world clinical data from patients treated at Hospital 9 de Octubre in Valencia, Spain, between 2007 and 2025. Outcomes assessed include pain levels, duration of sick leave, time to return to work, final functional status, and the presence of complications. By comparing the results of these three treatment strategies, the study aims to identify which approach offers the best clinical recovery and work-related outcomes for patients with traumatic AO Spine Type A1 fractures.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Functional Recovery Status at Final Follow-Up — Up to 12 months after study inclusion or until the final planned follow-up visit.
Degree of functional recovery after treatment of traumatic AO Spine Type A1 vertebral fractures, assessed using the final documented clinical status categories recorded in the medical chart. Functional categories include: full recovery minor residual spinal pain partial work disability no return to work permanent disability Higher categories indicate worse functional outcome (e.g., "full recovery" is the best outcome; "permanent disability" is the worst).
