  • Title: [Controlled orthopedic reduction of spinal fractures].
    Author: Louis R, Bonsignour JP, Ouiminga R.
    Journal: Rev Chir Orthop Reparatrice Appar Mot; 1975 Jun; 61(4):323-44. PubMed ID: 128059.
    Abstract:
    The authors estimation is that malunions are poorly tolerated at the spine level. Therefore they advocate a systematic reduction of fractures at any level of the spine after a review of 100 cases. They describe the closed procedure they used in 63 cases for obtaining reduction without anesthesia, under radiologic and manometric control. Then, in 53 cases, a plaster cast was applied. In 10 other cases, closed reduction was completed by a surgical procedure, either by an anterior or a posterior approach. 15 fractures were surgically reduced and fixed, and 22 cases were treated by rehabilitation only without reduction. An original classification was set up for a precise description of the initial lesions, and the measurement of sequellae and final results.
