Axes of Motion of Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures

Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1994
The neurological injury associated with thoracolumbar burst fractures may be due to the acute trauma event or due to chronic instability. For functional diagnosis and appropriate treatment, knowledge of the altered motion patterns of burst fractures may be helpful.

Patterns of Collapse in Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures

Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques, 2005
Functional outcomes of neurologically intact patients with burst fractures may be dependent on final kyphosis at the end of treatment. Conservative treatment is indicated if an acceptable sagittal alignment of the spine can be anticipated. Thoracolumbar burst fractures are often grouped as a single entity where, in fact, anatomically distinct areas of ...

Management Options in Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures

Surgical Neurology, 1998
Both surgery and recumbency have been adopted in the treatment of spinal fractures. Herein we present the indications for each, and our experience with thoracolumbar junction (T12, L1 and L2) burst fractures.Sixty-eight patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures were treated operatively in 36 cases, and nonoperatively in 32 with recumbency for 1-6 ...

Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures

Spine, 1993
There continues to be considerable controversy regarding the management of thoracolumbar burst fractures. Most feel that failure of the middle osteoligamentous complex, particularly with retropulsion of fragments into the spinal canal, is an indication for operative management. Others advocate postural reduction and prolonged bedrest for such injuries.

Unstable Thoracolumbar Fractures, with Emphasis on the Burst Fracture

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1988
There is much controversy as to the appropriate treatment of unstable thoracolumbar fractures. If surgery is decided upon, this article suggests a plan to accomplish the reduction of the fracture and decompression of the neural elements. The fractures are divided into compression injuries, seat belt injuries, fracture-dislocations, and burst fractures.

Thoracolumbar Burst Fracture With Horizontal Fracture of the Posterior Column

Spine, 1997
Nine patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures associated with horizontal fractures in the posterior column were studied retrospectively.To clarify the clinical and radiographic findings and evaluate the postoperative results for this type of fracture.It is not well recognized that burst fractures occasionally are accompanied by horizontal fractures ...

Acute Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures

Spine, 2002
An in vitro investigation of loading mechanisms in acute thoracolumbar burst fractures.To assess the validity of the authors' hypothesis that anterior shear forces transmitted by the facet joints are responsible for causing the severe canal compromise associated with acute thoracolumbar burst fractures.Thoracolumbar burst fractures created in the ...

The Natural History of Burst Fractures at the Thoracolumbar Junction

Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1990
Conservative management of 54 patients with thoracolumbar (T12 and/or L1) burst fractures was investigated. The fractures were subdivided according to the Denis classification and a modification was suggested. Most type A and B fractures showed good results regarding reduction and neurological improvement.

The Nonoperative Treatment of Burst Fractures of the Thoracolumbar Junction

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1988
Treatment of thoracolumbar spine burst fracture with a neurologically intact patient is controversial, with advocates of operative and nonoperative approaches. Of 404 patients in a prospective spinal trauma study, 21 had burst fractures, were neurologically intact, and had greater than 1-year followup. This group was analyzed to evaluate treatment with

Complication Avoidance: Thoracolumbar and Lumbar Burst Fractures

Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2006
Most thoracolumbar and lumbar burst fractures can be treated conservatively. Unstable fractures or fractures resulting in neurologic deficits usually require surgical treatment. Choosing an appropriate surgical approach requires a thorough understanding of the various techniques for decompression, fusion, and stabilization.
