Abstract	Background: Thoracolumbar spine fractures are usually caused by motor vehicle accidents but in our country they usually occur after fall from height. Fractures of spine are serious injuries and young peoples are the most common victims at the peak of their productive working age. Spine injuries are leading cause of morbidity. Different methods and instrumentation systems are used for stabilization of thoracolumbar spine fractures which includes anterior stabilization and posterior stabilization with transpedicular screws. Aim: To assess the functional out come of transpedicular screw fixation in thoracolumbar spine fractures regarding improvement in pain control, in neurology and complications. Study design: Quasi experimental study. Settings: The study was carried out in the Department of Orthopaedics Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital Lahore. Duration: The duration of study was 1 year from 10-02-2007 to 09-02-2008. Methods: The study was based on 40 patients of either sex from 20-50 years age with post traumatic unstable thoracolumbar spine fractures. Pre-operative assessment of pain and neurology was done and recorded. The functional out come in terms of pain control and improvement in neurology was assessed and recorded at 1 st month and 3 rd month follow up in OPD. Results: Functional outcome was much better in terms of pain relief and partial neurology had a potential for recovery. Conclusion: Transpedicular screw fixation in thoracolumbar spine fractures gives best results in terms of pain control and spine injury with partial neurological injury has a potential for neurological recovery.
