Few studies quantify spinal posture behaviour at both the thoracolumbar and lumbar spinal regions. This study compared spontaneous spinal posture in 50 asymptomatic participants (21 males) during three conditions: 10-min computer task in sitting (participants naïve to the measure), during their perceived 'correct' sitting posture, and standing. Three-dimensional optical tracking quantified surf...

STUDY DESIGN A biomechanical comparison of fixation constructs in an experimental fracture model. OBJECTIVE To determine the relative postoperative stability of anterior graft and plating with that of posterior or combined fixation constructs in an unstable thoracolumbar burst fracture model. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Several treatment modalities have been proposed for unstable thoracolumb...

Burst fractures of the spine account for 14% of all spinal injuries. Lower lumbar burst fracture with retrolisthesis is a rare presentation of traumatic cause. Management of this type of fracture are controversial and depends on plenty of factors like age of patient, type of injury, neurological deficit, associated comorbit injury. Here we are discussing a rarest case of traumatic burst fractur...
