To investigate and compare the efficacy of three-step reduction (TSR) therapy of integrated Chinese and Western Medicine and posterior open (PO) surgery for thoracolumbar burst fracture. We selected 60 patients diagnosed with thoracolumbar burst fracture and received treatment in our hospital from December 2014 to March 2017. According to randomized digital table, they were randomly divided into TSR and PO groups. VAS pain grade, Oswestry disability index, height of centrum front, Cobb's angle of spine, bleeding, and complication of internal fixation of the two groups were compared. Postoperative reduction of injured centrum, regained volume of canalis vertebralis, volume of bleeding, and early functional rehabilitation of TSR group were better than that of PO groups ( < 0.05). Through three-step reduction combined pedicle screw fixation surgery, we can achieve satisfied reduction of thoracolumbar burst fracture, rebuild the height of centrum, recover the biomechanics function of spine, and reduce bleeding. Three-step reduction therapy is an effective therapy for thoracolumbar burst fracture.

BACKGROUND High-energy injuries, like car accidents, can cause thoracolumbar burst fractures, leading to spinal instability and cord compression. Anterior decompression with stabilization provides strong support, kyphosis correction, and bone fusion. This study evaluated long-term outcomes of using a nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 strut in 38 thoracolumbar fracture cases.

Vertebral fractures (VFs) occasionally appear as the first manifestation of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in children. However, in adults, it is uncommon for VFs to lead to a diagnosis of ALL, and surgical intervention is even rarer. We encountered a case of a 42-year-old man with ALL who presented with acute severe back pain, lower limb numbness, dysuria, and hamstring weakness.

Case: A 64-year-old woman with a history of World Health Organization Grade II (Ki-67 20%) atypical meningioma presented with T12 vertebral body burst fracture as a complication of metastatic meningioma (SSTR2+). Following disease progression, decompression surgery and stabilization through T10-L2 posterior thoracolumbar instrumented fusion was performed.
Conclusion: This is one of few documented cases of spinal metastatic meningioma causing pathological fracture and the first to detail surgical management and longitudinal follow-up.

Altakassusi Alliance Medical, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Background And Objective: Recent studies have proposed computed tomography (CT) criteria for posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) injury: disrupted if ≥2 CT findings, indeterminate if single finding, and intact if 0 CT findings. The study aims to validate the CT criteria for PLC injury externally.
Methods: Three level 1 trauma centers enrolled 614 consecutive patients with acute thoracolumbar fractures (T1-L5) who received CT and MRI.
