Summary

To detect Radiological parameters affecting neurological injury after thoracolumbar spinal fractures.

Detailed description

Thoracolumbar spine fractures are the most common spinal column fractures. High activity and lack of stability make it more prone to fractures. Many studies have attempted to determine whether the neurological deficit in such fractures is related to spinal canal stenosis or other parameters observed on axial computed tomography (CT). However, this relationship remains controversial. Few reports shed light on the relation between different imaging parameters like sagittal alignment, vertebral body compression, canal stenosis, and type of fracture according to AO classification with the severity of nerve damage. These four radiographic parameters will be tested as expected risk factors for the neurological deficit in thoracolumbar fractures.
