Abstract:[Objective] To investigate the clinical outcomes of posterior osteotomy for old thoracolumbar fracture kyphosis. [Methods] From September 2006 to June 2019, 41 adult patients, including 32 males and 9 female aged (42.72±12.22) years, underwent posterior oste- otomy, involving SPO, PSO, BDBO and PVCR for kyphotic deformity secondary to old thoracolumbar fractures in our hospitals. The clinical and imaging consequences were evaluated. [Results] All patients had surgical procedures completed successfully, with operation time of (4.20±1.34) hours and intraoperative blood loss of (1 800.25±240.50) ml. At 12 months postoperatively and the latest follow-up lasted for (36.72±7.38) months on average, the VAS and ODI scores significantly decreased (P<0.05) , while body heights significantly increased (P< 0.05) , and ASIA grade for neurological function grade significantly improved compared with those preoperatively (P<0.05) . In terms of im- aging, the postoperative local kyphotic Cobb angle, SVA and sagittal diameter of the parietal vertebral canal significantly improved com- pared with those before surgery (P<0.05) , with the kyphotic correction rate of 78.56%, and bone healing in all patients. [Conclusion] Poste- rior osteotomy does effectively correct the kyphotic deformity due to old thoracolumbar fracture in this study
