We report the clinical results of Roy-Comille plate fixation for thoraco-lumbar spine fractures.Subjects included 13 men and 3 women with an average age at operation of 52 years (range: 26 to 73 years). The average duration of follow-up was 1.4 years (range: 0.3 to 4.8 years). The most common site of injury was Th12-L1, which accounted for 69% of the injuries. Sixty-three percent of the patients had neurological improvement at the time of follw-up and no patient demonstrated a decrease in their neurologic status. Radiographs revealed an average preoperative kyphohc angle of 22°, decreasing to 7.6° post-operatively and 10° at time of follow-up. Only one complication of a screw which come out was reported. We did not observe any plate and screw breakage.The Roy-Comille plate is a pedicle screw fixation system which has few complications and is useful for allowing early rehabilition.
