Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
88 patients with thoracolumbar fractures and short-segment (mono or two segment) pedicle instrumentation from the years 1985-92 had a follow-up examination after an average time of 5.6 years. The 56 men and 32 women had an average age of 32.6 years at the time of injury. 24 patients primarily had a complete and 43 patients an incomplete paraplegia, 21 patients showed no neurological deficits. The operative decompression of the spinal cord and stabilization of the injured spine by short segment pedicle instrumentation led to a complete or partial remission of the neurological deficits in 93% of the patients with incomplete paraplegia. Operative stabilization allowed an early mobilization and rehabilitation of these patients. We found no tendency to an increased complication rate in patients with neurological deficits compared to patients without neurological deficits. Patients with initially incomplete paraplegia complained more often about pain than all the other patients. Despite intensive rehabilitation and retraining programs handicapped patients had obvious disadvantages regarding their further careers.
