For non-complete paralysis patients, emergency surgery was required as soon as possible. The most of patients recovered completely. For thoracolumbar spinal injury, Burst-fracture and non complete paralysis, surgery with anterior way should be performed to release cord compression and bone graft. For cases of Burst-fracture, no paralysis, surgery with anterior way helped bone fractures were easy to heal, avoiding postoperative humpback recurrence.Conclusion:
