Abstract: (4006 Views)

Conclusions: Forceful use of computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can classify delicate thoracolumbar damages and involvement of neural components and offer prognostic data in children with possible neurologic recovery, especially in SCIWORA (spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality) type of injury. Currently, classification of the thoracolumbar injury and severity scales (TLISS) is generally useful in the adults by means of trauma to define non-operative vs. operative management of spine fractures. This classification is newly considered in the pediatric population, and there are reports on the outstanding validity of this system, similar to adults. Usually, various stable fractures can be cured conservatively, while unstable fractures need surgical stabilization.
