Our cases, (21 male, 11 female) the yloungest 13, the oldest 63, the average 29.7 years old; were followed up for at least I month and most for 26 months, with an average of 15 months. Kyphosis angle, local fracture angle, compression degree on the corpus vertebra, corpus vertebra and disc space height, posterior and lateral translation amount in plain graphics; spinal canal opening degrees and CT examinations of the cases are compared preoperative, postoperative and at the last follow-up. Because of the recovery level of neurologic and other findings, we came to the conclusion, that the Rod-sleeve method is effective in the treatment of burst fractures.
