Early Mobilization in Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures without Neurological Deficit Managed Conservatively

Journal of Orthopedic and Spine Trauma | 2023 | Sanjeev Kumar, Naresh Kumar Saini, Manish Chadha

Background: Since long, thoracolumbar burst fractures have been treated either by prolonged bed rest or by surgical fixation. In this study, outcomes of early mobilization with non-operative treatment are evaluated to avoid unnecessary surgery and complications of prolonged bed rest. Methods: This prospective observational study included 40 patients with thoracolumbar burst fra...

Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures

Spinal Neurosurgery | 2018 | Omaditya Khanna, Geoffrey P. Stricsek, James S. Harrop

Ten to twenty percent of all thoracolumbar spine fractures are burst fractures. Burst fractures are typically a result of an axial-loading mechanism, such as from jumping or a fall from height. In this chapter, the authors provide an overview of the different classification systems for thoracolumbar fractures, including the Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) class...

Importance of load sharing column and canal violation in the management of thoracolumbar burst fractures.

Introduction: The ideal classification of spinal fractures should include every kind of fracture and suggest patterns of treatments. Vaccaro et al. proposed a classification and treatment rules according to a comprehensive severity score. In this one, fractures with exclusive lesion of the vertebral body, burst fractures, without either damage of the posterior ligament band or...
