Posterior Vertebral Injury; Is This a Burst Fracture or a Flexion-Distraction Injury?
In thoracolumbar spinal fractures with posterior column injury for applying proper management, it is important to distinguish a flexion-distraction injury (FDI) from a three column burst fracture (BF) as in clinical examination, both may have a similar significant tenderness on direct spinal palpation. Careful attention to the comprehensive clinical examination and detailed imaging features are...

متن کاملCT of Facet Distraction Flexion Injuries of the Thoracolumbar Spine : The " Naked " Facet 97 . In
Vertical distraction of the articular processes is an important sign of ligamentous disruption due to flexion injuries of the thoracolumbar spine. In addition to illustrating this finding in cross section (the "naked" facet), computed tomography in the transaxial plane allows assessment of the presence and position of fracture fragments that may encroach on the spinal canal. Image reconstructio...
متن کاملPosterior tension band wiring and instrumentation for thoracolumbar flexion-distraction injuries.
PURPOSE To evaluate treatment outcome of tension band wiring followed by posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation for thoracolumbar flexiondistraction injury (FDI). METHODS 36 men and 12 women aged 21 to 56 (mean, 36) years underwent tension band wiring followed by posterior spinal fusion and instrumentation using pedicular screws for FDI of the thoracolumbar spine. The injured vertebral l...

fragments, secure ligaments or tendon to bone, and improve stability in weakened constructs.1–5 The spinous ligaments, ligamentum flavum, facet capsular ligament, and posterior longitudinal ligaments collectively form the natural posterior spinal tension band. The integrity of the posterior spinal ligamentous structures is critical, as they function to limit translation (anterior and posterior)...
