Fratura toracolombar do tipo explosão: o que o radiologista deve conhecer

Abstract: Thoracolumbar burst fractures are defined as those fractures involving compromise of the anterior, middle and posterior vertebral columns. The treatment for such vertebral fractures still remains undefined, raising questions about the best form of intervention in these cases. Because of these doubts, imaging methods play a key role in the preoperative workup. However, several tests and measurements are performed by spine surgeons before deciding on the best approach to be adopted, with no standardization and n… Show more

“…14 One explanation for this vulnerability is the contraposition of the stability of the thoracic cavity and its costotransverse ligaments, in contrast to the more flexible and less protected subadjacent regions. 17 Fractures in the transitional junctions of the spine have different causes. 10 The cervical-thoracic transition is most commonly fractured in traffic accidents and sports accidents due to the fact that this transition is more susceptible to acceleration and deceleration because its muscle apparatus is thinner in this region, On the other hand, fractures of the thoracolumbar transition are mainly due to falls.…”
