Patients and Methods: This study included 30 patients with traumatic thoracolumbar fractures. These patients were treated by percutaneous pedicle screw fixation. This study was conducted in Cairo University Hospitals from June 2011 to February 2014. They were neurologically free. Results: This series consist of 30 patients presenting with wedge and burst fractures of thoracic and lumbar spine (D12- L4). They were treated with percutaneous fixation. These patients were assessed pre-operative and post-operative looking into following points: (A) Clinical and functional assessment; (B) Radiological assessment (C) Intraoperative post-operative complication.
