Abstract
Tools and techniques are described that are useful for trauma correction of anterior compression, chance, or burst fractures, particularly where the posterior longitudinal ligament and posterior arch anatomy is still intact. The described tools can be used to reduce fracture and provide additional distraction for ligamentum taxis through a posterior approach that is compatible with both open and minimally invasive methodologies.
