b. Treatment.
(1) If instability is 3 to 5 mm , halo or rigid orthosis is used for 2 to 3
months.
(2) If instability is > 5 mm, then fuse C1–C2.
2. Atlantoaxial rotatory xation.
a. The head is tilted toward the side of xation and the chin and C2 spinous
process are pointed toward the opposite direction.
E. Fra c t u re o f a t la s (C1 ) (Fig. 10.4).
1. Axial loading disrupts the atlantal ring.
2. Neurological injury is rare because of the wide spinal canal.

11 Thoracolumbar Spine Fractures
11.1 General Considerations
I. In t r o d u ct ion .
A. Th e t h or a co lu m ba r sp in e is t he m ost co m m on s it e o f s p in al in ju r ie s.
1. Transition from less mobile spine segments in the thorax to relatively hypermobile spinal segments in the lumbar spine.
B. Mo st in ju r ie s o c c u r in m a le s (a g e 1 5– 29 ) a n d a r e m o s t co m m o n ly t h e r e su lt o f a
motor vehicle accident (50%) or a fall from > 6 feet (25%).
C. M o st in ju rie s o cc u r b et w ee n T1 1 a n d L1 (5 2 %).
1. L1–L5 (32%).
2. T1–T10 (16%).
D. Associated inju r ies are com m on and m ay occur in up to 50% of pat ien t s, usu ally
the result of a distractive force.
1. Intra-abdominal bleeding from liver and splenic injuries.
2. Arterial or venous vessel disruption.
3. Pulmonary injuries.
a. Hemothorax.
b. Pulmonary contusion.
4. Noncontiguous spine injuries (5%).
II. Pat ie n t e va lu at io n .
A. Ge n e r al a sse s sm e n t .
1. Respiratory, cardiothoracic, abdominal, urological evaluation.
2. Head/cervical spine status.
B. Ne u r o l o gic al a ss es s m e n t .
1. Frankel scale and American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor index.
2. Spinal cord, conus, cauda equina, root injuries.
C. Ra d io lo g i c a l e va lu at io n .
1. All patients who have injuries suspicious for spinal trauma should undergo plain radiographic imaging (anteroposterior or lateral) of all vertebral levels.
2. Plain X-ray is the initial screening modality:
a. Computed tomography.
(1) Best imaging modality for evaluation of the middle colum n, especially
with sagittal reconstructions.
134
b. Magnetic resonance imaging.
(1) Most useful in evaluating the spinal cord and soft tissue disruption
(disk/ligam entous injury).
III. Cla ssi cat io n m et h o ds.
A. Sp in e st a b ilit y (De n is cla ssi cat io n ) (Fig. 11.1).
1. Three columns:
a. Anterior column.

(1) Anterior longitudinal ligam ent, anterior annulus brosus, and
anterior half of the vertebral body.
b. Middle column.
(1) Posterior longitudinal ligam ent, posterior annulus brosis, posterior
half of the vertebral body.
c. Posterior colum n.
(1) Pedicles, facet joints, lam ina, spinous processes, and interspinous and
supraspinous ligam ents.
2. Clinical application:
a. Instability is de ned as a disruption of two or more of the three spinal
colum ns.
b. If the middle colum n is disrupted, then the spine is unstable except in the
follow in g:
(1) Thoracic vertebrae above T8 (stability provided by the ribs).
(2) L4–L5 where the posterior column is intact (signi cant weight
bearing through the posterior column because of lordosis).
(3) Distraction injuries where fractures occur through the cancellous bone.
3. Stability is not “black and white”; it is a gray zone (Denis).
a. Stable fractures.
(1) Transverse process.
(2) Spinous process.
(3) Articular process.
(4) Pars interarticularis.
(5) Com pression fractures.
B. Th o r a co lu m b a r i n ju r y cla ss i c a t io n a n d s e ve r it y ( TLICS) s c o re .
1. Operative treatment is based on three factors (Table 11.1).
a. Morphology of the fracture.
(1) Com pression.
(2) Burst.
