Thoracolumbar Fractures

Thoracolumbar spine fractures are common injuries which can result in significant disability, deformity and neurological deficit. Controversies exist concerning the proper radiological investigations, the symptoms for surgical control and the timing, technique and sort of surgery. This assessment provides an overview of the epidemiology, biomechanical ideas, radiological and scientific evaluation, class and management standards. Literature review of all applicable articles posted in PubMed overlaying thoracolumbar backbone fractures without or with neurologic deficit became carried out. the quest phrases used had been thoracolumbar, thoracic, lumbar, fracture, trauma and management. All applicable articles and abstracts overlaying thoracolumbar spine fractures with and with out neurologic deficit have been reviewed. Biomechanically the thoracolumbar spine is predisposed to a better incidence of spinal injuries. Computed tomography presents good enough bony element for assessing spinal stability while magnetic resonance imaging suggests accidents to tender tissues (posterior ligamentous complicated [PLC]) and neurological structures. distinctive classification structures exist and the maximum current is the AO backbone expertise discussion board category of thoracolumbar trauma. treatment consists of each nonoperative and operative methods and selected primarily based on the diploma of bony harm, neurological involvement, presence of related accidents and the integrity of the percent. sizeable advances in imaging have helped in the higher expertise of thoracolumbar fractures, consisting of facts on canal morphology and damage to smooth tissue systems. the best category that is easy, comprehensive and guides control is still elusive. Involvement of 3 columns, modern neurological deficit, substantial kyphosis and canal compromise with neurological deficit are customary warning signs for surgical stabilization through anterior, posterior or blended strategies.
