myAO clinical roundup on thoracolumbar trauma
Thoracolumbar spine trauma usually occurs as a result of high-energy trauma (e.g., road traffic accidents, falls from heights). It may occur spontaneously in patients with osteoporotic, neoplastic, or metabolic disorders of the spine. It is important to evaluate and assess thoracolumbar fractures for instability. If surgical intervention is indicated, early surgery is recommended.
