The pitfalls of diagnosis and treatment of flexion distraction injuries of the thoracic and lumbar spine: A prospective study
Original language description
The assessment of the degree of instability of an injured thoracic and lumbar spine is the basic prerequisite for choosing the adequate treatment procedure. That is the reason why so much emphasis is laid on precise imaging of the extent and location ofdamage caused to bone and ligament structures. Flexion distraction forms of injury render diagnosing based on normal skiagraphy and computer tomography rather difficult. An additional magnetic resonance imaging examination is a reliable method to detectloss of continuity of the posterior ligament complex. The authors evaluated 117 patients on a prospective basis of whom 14 (i.e. 12%) had suffered a flexion distraction type of injury and had a high reliability record for magnetic resonance imaging examinations (100%) in terms of evidence of posterior ligament complex injury, as compared with skiagraphy and computer tomography (71.4%).
