CT scan prediction of neurological deficit in thoracolumbar burst fractures.
In 139 patients with burst fractures of the thoracic, thoracolumbar or lumbar spine, the least sagittal diameter of the spinal canal at the level of injury was measured by computerised tomography. By multiple logistic regression we investigated the joint correlation of the level of the burst fracture and the percentage of spinal canal stenosis with the probability of an associated neurological ...
متن کاملDoes 'canal clearance' affect neurological outcome after thoracolumbar burst fractures?
Surgical decompression of the spinal canal is presently accepted worldwide as the method of treatment for thoracolumbar burst fractures with neurological deficit in the belief that neurological recovery may be produced or enhanced. Our clinical and laboratory experience, however, indicates that the paralysis occurs at the moment of injury and is not related to the position of the fragments of t...

متن کاملThoracolumbar and Lumbar Burst Fractures
Approximately 79,000 spinal fractures occur annually in the United States. Roughly three out of every four fractures involve either the thoracic or the lumbar spine1,2. The most common site of injury in the thoracic and lumbar spine is the thoracolumbar junction, the mechanical transition zone between the relatively rigid thoracic spine and the more flexible lumbar region3-5. The thoracolumbar ...
متن کاملThoracolumbar fractures without neurological impairment
The incidence of thoracolumbar spinal injuries in the United States has been increasing in recent years, especially as a result of motor vehicle crashes.1 The same trend has been observed with increasing incidence between 2001 and 2007 in China. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of spinal trauma followed by falls from a height. In a large Chinese series by Liu et al2 which included ...
