An evaluation of treatment results of unstable spine fractures using the Harrington instruments in 37 patients has been performed. The described method can result in anatomical restoration of the vertebral canal. If vertebral canal lumen is not restored, anterior decompression should be performed making possible removal of posteriorly dislocated bone fragments. The earlier anterior decompression, the greater chance of improvement of neurological conditions. The described procedure is especially useful in fractures with partial palsy. After treatment 70 per cent of the patients with partial palsy resumed their normal lives.
