Inter-observational analysis of computed tomography parameters to predict nonobvious posterior ligament complex injury in neurologically intact patients with thoracolumbar trauma.

Introduction: Assessing the integrity of the posterior ligament complex (PLC), as a key element in the characterization of an unstable Thoracolumbar fracture (TLF), is challenging, but crucial in the choice of treatment.

Research Question: How to create a reproducible score using combined parameters of Computed Tomography (CT) to predict nonobvious PLC injury. How CT parameters relate with PLC status.
