The role of imaging in the choice of correct treatment of unstable thoraco-lumbar fractures
Abstract
The concept of unstable burst fracture has been discussed since over 50 years and this injury has received much attention in the literature as regards its radiological diagnosis and clinical treatment. The purpose of this article is to review the way we use imaging to diagnose the injury and to guide treatment.
