Abstract

The management of thoracolumbar burst fractures remains challenging Ideally, it should effectively correct the deformity induce neurological recovery, allow early mobilization and return to work and be associated with minimal risk of complication. This article reviews the related studies reporting their clinical data for the management of thoracolumbar burst fractures, discusses the most suitable approach in cases such as these, highlights specific treatment recommendations, and proposes a treatment algorithm. Using PubMed and Scopus databases to search the term thoracolumbar burst fractures, abstracts and original articles in English investigating the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures were searched and analyzed.

Abstract

Transverse fractures of the sacrum with anterior displacement are the rarest type of transverse sacral fractures. They usually occur at the S1-S2 region in suicide jumpers. A clinical study was performed to evaluate the diagnosis, treatment and outcome of transverse sacral fractures with anterior displacement. We present six patients with a transverse fracture of the sacrum with anterior displacement. All patients presented with bowel and bladder dysfunction, perineal anesthesia, sensory and motor deficits at the lower extremities. Prompt diagnosis of the sacral fracture was obtained in five of the six patients. Operative treatment including lumbosacral laminectomies, spine instrumentation and fusion was done in all patients. Neurological recovery was almost complete in one patient, incomplete in four patients, and none in one patient. Although reduction of the fracture was not ideal in many of these patients, long-term clinical and radiographic follow-up, and neurological improvement were rewarding.

Abstract

Spinal hydatid disease is a not uncommon cause of spinal cord compression in endemic countries; however, involvement of the epidural space with sparing of the vertebral column is rare. Early diagnosis and surgical decompression with total removal of the hydatid lesion, when possible, is generally considered the standard of care for this disease. The authors describe a case of massive epidural hydatid disease without involvement of the vertebral column in a 62-year-old male patient, treated with a 2-stage surgical operation and administration of systemic albendazole. The literature is reviewed regarding the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of spinal echinococcosis.

Abstract

Between January 1983 and December 1997, 29 patients with either a fracture (11 patients) or a fracture-dislocation (18 patients) of the thoracic spine were treated operatively. All patients underwent posterior decompression and stabilization within a mean time of 4 days after injury (range, 0-45 days). Patients with complete paraplegia had no postoperative improvement in neurologic status, whereas all patients with incomplete spinal cord lesions improved in neurologic status after surgery. There was no significant association between time from injury to operation and final neurologic outcome. For thoracic fractures, the procedure of surgical decompression and stabilization is safe, and neurologic recovery may be anticipated in patients with incomplete spinal cord lesions.
