Traumatic kyphosis of the thoracolumbar spine

T E Whitesides Jr. Clin Orthop Relat Res. 1977 Oct.

Abstract

The rationale of acute and chronic orthopedic management of traumatic throacolumbar kyphosis is determined by the type and location of the injury. The performance of laminectomy is condemned due to its historical failure in both the acute and chronic phase and its violation of simple mechanical principles.
