18 Patients with injury of the thoracic and lumbar spine were surgically treated with Aha Spinal Instrumentation. In patients preoperative and postoperative, clinical and radiological results were evaluated. This report presents the early results of stabilization and recovery of neurological function achieved by this method. We were not confronted with early complications related to the treatment with Ahci Spinal Instrumentation We accept this ASI method advantageous due to having the patients who were applied this instrumentation achieve a successfull reduction and stabilization, and therefore early ambulalion and rehabilitation. Spinal canal is assessed by CT preoperative and postoperative. Spinal canal was restorated mean 58% to 91%. In all patients except for one, anterior decompression was not required because restorations of the spinal canals were sufficient. In only one patient we primarily applied an anterior decompression and Alıcı Anterior Spinal Instrumentation (AASI). Then we achieved stabilization with Alıcı Posterior Spinal Instrumentation (APSI).
