UNLABELLED The final collapse of a "stable" thoracolumbar burst fracture is difficult to predict. This collapse was prospectively studied radiologically in patients with T12 or L1 burst fractures who, after evaluating the admission x-rays and the CT scan with the patients themselves, opted for a rigid thoracolumbar brace with support in the sternal manubrium (TLSO). On the other hand, patients ...

Background: Unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures are treated surgically by short segment fi xation but may be associated with high implant failure. Supplementation of anterior column by insertion of screw at fracture site makes it more biomechanically stable. Objectives: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate radiological parameters in thoracolumbar fractures treated with inter...

Extended Abstract In the U.S, there are 150,000 high energy trauma fractures per year according to Reitman et al. (2004) and the majority of these fractures occur in the thoracolumbar junction with Roche et al. (2008) recording 43.8% of fractures occurring at the thoracolumbar junction. The change of the seat belt restraint from lap belt to three-point restraint systems has greatly reduced the ...

BACKGROUND: The management of pain after osteoporotic thoracolumbar burst fracture has not reached a treatment consensus. Percutaneous kyphoplasty been shown to be efficient in reducing acute fracture, although the topic remains highly controversial this field. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed conduct systematic review current literature evaluate effectiveness and safety percutaneous on fracture. ST...

In the process of coal resources development, a large number strip pillars have been left behind in mines central–eastern China. With increase mining depth year by year, rock burst threat is becoming more and prominent due to influence buried depth, geological structure, gob other factors. Backfilling main means recover residual pillar. order investigate effect backfilling on prevention control...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE The identification of factors that lead to the failure of nonoperative management in neurologically intact thoracolumbar burst fractures. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures (TLBF) can be controversial, particularly in the neurologically intact. Surgery for intact burst fractures has been advocated for ...
