Objectives Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as the standard of reference, we aimed
to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in …

Background: A validated classification remains the key to an appropriate treatment algorithm
of traumatic thoracolumbar fractures. Considering the development of many classifications, it …

Background In patients with ankylosing spinal disease, including ankylosing spondylitis and
diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, even low-impact trauma can lead to complex …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate midterm results after hybrid stabilization of
unstable osteoporotic fractures of the thoracolumbar junction. Methods This retrospective …

To assess the potential influence of multifidus atrophy and fatty degeneration on the
incidence of adjacent vertebral compression fractures within one year after the index …

As a result of axial compression, traumatic vertebral burst fractures disrupt the anterior
column, leading to segmental instability and cord compression. In situations with diminished …

Uncertainties remain regarding the optimal surgical approach in the treatment of traumatic
thoracolumbar burst fractures. We aim to compare the surgical, radiological and functional …

Purpose Thoracolumbar fractures are the most common kind of spine injury in children.
Several types of spine injury can occur, and for this reason, treatment algorithms have been …

Study Design Survey of spine surgeons. Objective To determine the reliability with which
international spine surgeons identify a posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) injury in a …

Purpose We performed an agreement study using two subaxial cervical spine classification
systems: the AOSpine and the Allen and Ferguson (A&F) classifications. We sought to …
