The pancreas is at risk of damage as a consequence thoracolumbar spine injury. However, there are no studies providing prevalence data to support this assumption. Data from European hospitals documented in the TraumaRegister DGU® (TR-DGU) between 2008–2017 were analyzed estimate correlation and determine impact on clinical outcome. A total 44,279 patients with significant trauma, defined Abbrev...

BACKGROUND Anatomic injury severity scores can be grouped into two classes; consensus-derived and data-derived. The former, including the Injury Severity Score (ISS), the New Injury Severity Score (NISS), and the Anatomic Profile Score (APS), are based on the severity score of the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS), assigned by clinical experts.

MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-four patients with thoracolumbar burst fracture undergoing instrumentation between 2010 and 2015 were analyzed retrospectiv...
