Scheme and timeline explaining the 3 different types of “Trauma LLIF” – single-staged bisegmental, 2-staged bisegmental and primary monosegmental. Note that patients undergoing bisegmental instrumentation were seen back in clinics around 90 days with a CT-scan to plan the partial hardware removal (with Trauma LLIF in those with 2-staged surgery) between 3 and 6 months after the first operation. The schematic illustration of the incomplete burst fracture is adopted from the AO Spine.
