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 …

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 …

Abstract Background The Spine Trauma Study Group (STSG) has proposed a novel
thoracolumbar injury classification system and score (TLICS) in an attempt to define …

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

Object A new classification and treatment algorithm for thoracolumbar injuries was recently
introduced by Vaccaro and colleagues in 2005. A thoracolumbar injury severity scale …

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

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

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 …

Study Design. Prospective diagnostic imaging study. Objective. To determine the accuracy
of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing injury of the posterior ligamentous …

Purpose The stability of the thoracic and lumbar spine depends significantly on the posterior
ligamentum complex (PLC). Therefore, it is essential to diagnose PLC injuries accurately …
