Abstract
The objective of study was to describe the functional outcome after TMC application in Thoracic spine within one year postoperatively. This case series study comprised 62 patients surgically treated with TMC in Thoracic spine from January, 2011 to December, 2012 in Ghurki Trust Teaching Hospital. All patients fulfilling the criteria for study was include. Written consent forms, demographic information, detailed history, clinical examination used to assess for functional outcomes and muscle strengthening by using barthel index score, bed mobility profile and manual muscle testing.
