    Abstract:
    Surgical treatment of 276 patients with uncomplicated (71.7%) and complicated (28.3%) injuries of the spine of the thoracic and lumbar localization was taken as the material for the article. The authors propose a rational strategy and tactics of operative treatment of patients with traumas of the spine and also they make an assessment of efficiency of some new surgical technologies. The volume and optimum terms of the decompressive-stabilizing operations on the spine are determined depending on the kind of the vertebral injury and the general state of the patient. The effectiveness of the present-day systems of stabilization of the spine (transpedicular constructions and plates for the frontal fixation of the spine) was demonstrated.
