Abstract

The development of endoscopy, microscopy, and image guidance system provided the impetus for the adoption of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques in the management of spinal trauma patients. The underlying drive has been an attempt to achieve the functional and biomechanical goals inherent to trauma care but through MIS techniques. Broadly the MIS techniques for spinal trauma can be divided into two categories—fusion and nonfusion methods. Fusion methods include mini-open or keyhole approaches that allow for discectomy and/or corpectomy and cage reconstruction via an anterior/lateral/posterior operative corridor. The nonfusion methods primarily include percutaneous pedicle screw fixation, kyphoplasty, and vertebroplasty, all without placement of bone graft or other attempts at inducing arthrodesis. In this review article, we have stratified the MIS techniques based on the operative corridor used and briefly described the decision-making process, technical nuances, pros, and cons of each technique.
