thoracolumbar spine fractures, instability, minimally invasive treatment, percutaneous fixationAbstract
Modern views on the problem of epidemiology, diagnostics and treatment of thoracolumbar spine fractures were summarized.
Noncomplicated thoracolumbar spine fractures are the widespread pathology. Such fractures make the most part of all spinal fractures. Modern classifications of spinal trauma and it’s biomechanical features are given.
Today two methods of treatment are used: conservative and surgical.
Such operative interventions are performed: anterior or/and posterior fusion, percutaneous vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty and their different combinations. Each of these methods has it’s own advantages and disadvantages, but due to miniinvasiveness of operative interventions the risk of complications decreases, early activization of the patient is carried out.
