Functional Outcomes of Thoracolumbar Junction Spine Fractures
Introduction Few studies have evaluated the functional outcomes of traumatic thoracic and lumbar vertebral body fractures. This study evaluated the functional and clinical outcomes of patients, who sustained a fracture to the thoracolumbar area of the spine (T10 to L2 region), with ≥ 25° kyphosis versus those with less kyphotic curvature.

Thoracolumbar fractures occur from any and all forms of trauma. Twenty percent of them may be associated with neurological deficits. In high energy trauma, up to 5% of patients will have non-contiguous fractures (i.e. segmental fractures.) Sixty percent of patients with spinal cord injuries will have associated non-spinal injuries. The management of thoracolumbar fractures continues to evolve. ...
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 ...
متن کاملBurst Fractures in the Thoracolumbar Junction: What Do We Know About Their Treatment?
Dear Editor, The thoracic and lumbar spine (from T1 to L5) is the most common sites of traumatic spinal injuries, especially in the thoracolumbar transition (T11-L2), a junctional area between the mobile lumbar and the rigid thoracic spine (1, 2). The most common causes of trauma are motor vehicle accidents in younger adults and fall in older patients (3). About 160.000 of injuries occur every ...
