Mangement of Spine Fracture

Sohag University60 enrolled

Overview

Each year, there are approximately 5 million new vertebral fractures worldwide1. Most of these fractures involve the thoracolumbar or lumbar spines. The thoracolumbar junction, due to its mechanical transition zone, and the lumbar spine, due to its absence of stabilizing articulations with the ribs, lordotic posture and more sagittal oriented facet joints, are vulnerable for involvement in spinal injuries2. Burst fractures occurs frequently in high-energy traumas which are most commonly associated with falls and traffic accidents.3
