Abstract

In this study the results of conservatively treated stable fractures of the thoracolumbar spine in 112 cases are reported. The follow-up of these patients was carried out by clinical and radiological examinations. It proved that functional treatment used in 94% of all cases was superior in its results and lack of pain to Böhler the method according of closed correction and immobilization by cast. The radiological examination showed no coherence between narrowing of the verebra after early mobilization and function of the spine. A three point corset in addition to this therapy seems to be without any advantage.
