Key Points

To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of one-stage pedicle subtraction osteotomy and disc resection with cage placement for post-traumatic thoracolumbar kyphosis.
Retrospective evaluation of 46 consecutive patients treated between May 2010 and May 2013 with one-stage pedicle subtraction osteotomy, disc resection, cage placement, and long-segment fixation.
Assessed sagittal balance metrics (pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, sagittal vertical axis, sagittal Cobb angle), pain scores (visual analog scale), functional disability (Oswestry disability index), and complications across an average 41-month follow-up.
Sagittal vertical axis improved from +10.7 ± 3.5 cm preoperatively to +4.1 ± 2.7 cm at final follow-up (p < 0.01), achieving a mean angular correction of 47° (maximum 58°).
Pelvic tilt decreased from 27.2 ± 5.3° to 15.2 ± 4.7° (p < 0.01), and visual analog scale pain scores dropped from 7.8 ± 1.6 to 3.2 ± 1.8 (p < 0.01).
Patients had an average operative time of 260 min (range: 240–320 min) and mean blood loss of 643 ml (range: 400–1200 ml), showing significant long-term recovery of neurological function.
