  • Title: Thoracic and lumbar spine trauma.
    Author: Kaye JJ, Nance EP.
    Journal: Radiol Clin North Am; 1990 Mar; 28(2):361-77. PubMed ID: 2408100.
    Abstract:
    The frequency and distribution of fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine are reviewed. Classifications of thoracolumbar spine injuries are considered. Compression or wedge fractures, burst fractures, lap seat-belt-type injuries, and fracture-dislocations are considered with discussion of findings on conventional radiography and computed tomography. The concepts of stability and instability are briefly discussed and the relative advantages of computed tomographic imaging are reviewed.
