Mono-segment fixation of thoracolumbar burst fractures
British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2014To investigate what benefits can be derived from a shorter construct length in the pedicle screw based surgical treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture (TLBF).A retrospective analysis was performed of clinical notes and radiology for patients who underwent surgical fixation of TLBFs between 2007 and 2012 in a single UK institution.

Intraoperative Ultrasonography for Reduction of Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures
Spine, 1989The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of intraoperative ultrasound monitoring in the reduction and stabilization of thoracolumbar burst fractures of the spine. Thirty-one patients underwent a posterior approach for reduction and stabilization of a thoracolumbar burst fracture, with complete follow-up available on 26.

Biomechanical Evaluation of the Stability of Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures
Spine, 1994The decision to treat thoracolumbar burst fractures in neurologically intact patients either surgically or nonoperatively depends largely on whether the fracture is clinically stable. This study evaluated the relative contributions of the anterior, middle, and posterior columns to spinal stability by way of in vitro experimentation and supplemental ...

Anterior Instrumentation in the Management of Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures
Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1997Anterior instrumentation in the treatment of thoracolumbar fractures has progressed significantly during the past 2 decades. These fixation systems have evolved to meet the anatomic, biomechanical, and imaging challenges associated with internal fixation of the thoracolumbar spine.

Sagittal Index in Management of Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures
Spine, 1990In an effort to quantify the risk for late progression in burst fractures, the sagittal index (SI) was defined to help to assess the segmental deformity at the level of the fracture. The SI is a measurement of the kyphotic segmental deformity corrected for the normal sagittal contour at the level of the deformed segment. A prospective study was devised

Diagnosis of Subtle Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures
Spine, 1993A previously undescribed radiographic sign, the posterior vertebral body angle is successful in distinguishing subtle burst type fractures from compression fractures of the thoracolumbar spine. Correct diagnosis is imperative for proper treatment and accurate prognosis.

Mechanism of the Burst Fracture in the Thoracolumbar Spine
Spine, 1995Calf lumbar spine motion segments were randomly assigned to two groups. After insertion of a transducer capable of measuring transient occlusion of the spinal canal during impact, a low rate axial impact was applied in one group and a high rate load in the other. Post-injury computed tomography scans and peak canal occlusions were measured to determine

Pedicle Screw Instrumentation for Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures and Fracture-Dislocations
Spine, 1992Thirty-eight patients with unstable thoracolumbar and lumbar (T12-L5) spine fractures were treated with Cotrel-Dubousset pedicle screw instrumentation. They were followed for an average of 22.73 months (range 12-39). Measurements of canal compromise, wedge index, and kyphosis correction at follow-up examination were made.

Thoracolumbar burst fracture with another spinal fracture.
Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet thangphaet, 1990From January 1985 to May 1988, thirty-six patients with thoracolumbar burst fracture were treated and nine of these (25%) were associated with another burst fracture or wedge compression fracture. The etiology of injury was a fall from a height in four patients, motorcycle accident in three, and elevator crushing and house crushing in each of the other
