Flexion-distraction injuries of the lumbar spine. Mechanisms of injury and classification.
1988
Abstract This paper describes the fracture patterns in 20 patients with flexion-distraction injuries. A mechanism of injury is described that includes an explanation of the presence of wedge compression fractures and burst injuries. A classification is developed based on trauma to the anterior vertebral column, the posterior elements, and the resulting axially loaded spine.
