  • Title: [Fractures of the lumbar spine and the lower thoracic spine--surgical technic and results].
    Author: Dörner A, Mommsen U, Müller S, Jungbluth KH.
    Journal: Unfallchirurgie; 1985 Feb; 11(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 3984093.
    Abstract:
    Improved healing results are achieved by surgical treatment of fractures of the lumbar spine and of the thoracic transition, if the indication is correct, i.e. in case of splintered fracture with severe instability or neurologic troubles, but also in case of luxations occurring rarely in the region of the lumbar spine. The anterior fusion of fractions with bone defects in the region of the vertebral body is more logical with regard to the biomechanical aspect.
