Abstract

Significant advances have been made over the past 40 years in the understanding of the pathoanatomy, biomechanics, and neurophysiology of thoracolumbar injuries. These improvements are reflected in the sophisticated classifications currently in use. Yet, we remain in a transitional phase of our classification of these fractures. Future schemes will probably offer two precise classifications--one neurologic and one structural--for every injury.
