Study Design: A multicenter, pilot study, for radiological assessment of thoracolumbar spine
fractures was performed with the participation of 7 centers in Africa, Europe, Asia, and South …

Purpose We aimed to formulate a radiological index based on plain radiographs and
computer tomography (CT) to reliably detect posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) injury …

Abstract Purpose The AOSpine thoracolumbar (TL) spine injury classification system is
based mainly on computed tomography (CT). The main purpose of this study was to …

Purposes To discuss whether radiologic parameters are closely related to posterior
ligamentous complex (PLC) injury identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods …

Purpose The increased interspinous distance ratio (ISDR) at the fracture site in plain X-ray is
useful as an indicator of injury of the posterior ligament complex in thoracolumbar fractures …

Objective To assess the value of ultrasonographic imaging of the posterior ligamentous
complex (PLC) to diagnose ligamentous injuries, in patients with mild thoracolumbar …

Background: Thoracolumbar spinal fractures include a range of injuries of various severities
from simple apophyseal fractures to neurological injury and complex fractures associated …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Posterior ligamentous complex (PLC), consisting of
supraspinous ligament (SSL), interspinous ligament (ISL), ligamentum flavum (LF), and the …

DESIGN: Prospective study of 34 patients with thoracolumbar spinal fractures. OBJECTIVES:
To assess the reliability of MRI in detecting posterior ligament complex (PLC) injury in …

Objective To determine the diagnostic accuracy of combined computed tomography (CT)
findings for detecting posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) injury in thoracolumbar fractures …
