We have been using spinal instrumentation across the unfused vertebrae in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures. But it was hoped that only injured level was internally immobilized and fused. Three cases of thoracolumbar spinal injuries were treated by anterior decompression and fusion combined with posterior transpedicular. Zielke fixation between injured levels : the first lumbar bursting fracture, the second lumbar bursting fracture, and fracture-dislocation of the twelfth thoracic spine
