Thoracolumbar Fractures: A Review of Classifications and Surgical Methods
Thoracolumbar fractures are an important topic in spinal surgery. In this article, the instability of the thoracolumbar fracture classifications and surgical treatments are discussed, with a particular focus on treatment concepts that are based on the modern classification systems. Introduction Thoracolumbar junction has unique anatomical and biomechanical features because of this region is a t...
متن کاملFinite element analysis of compression fractures at the thoracolumbar junction using models constructed from medical images
Vertebral fractures commonly occur at the thoracolumbar junction. These fractures can be treated with mild residual deformity in many cases, but are reportedly associated with increased risk of secondary vertebral fractures. In the present study, a three-dimensional (3D) whole spine model was constructed using the finite element method to explore the mechanism of development of compression frac...
متن کاملValidity of the three-column theory of thoracolumbar fractures. A biomechanic investigation.
STUDY DESIGN This study validated the three-column theory of fractures by correlating the multidirectional instabilities and the vertebral injuries to each of the three columns, using a biomechanic trauma model. OBJECTIVES The objective was to validate the three-column theory as applied to the thoracolumbar fractures. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The widely used three-column theory of fractur...
متن کاملRadiological Prediction of Posttraumatic Kyphosis After Thoracolumbar Fracture
OBJECTIVES Classification methods that are currently being used for clinical decision making in thoracolumbar fractures, are limited by reproducibility and prognostic value. Additionally, they do not include kyphosis. As a posttraumatic kyphosis is related to persistent pain, it is of importance to determine a risk of posttraumatic kyphosis based on fracture type and patient characteristics. ...
