Abstract

This study was performed to compare the clinical radiological features according to load sharing classification of patients with unstable thoracolumbar burst fracture, Denis type IIB. A cross-sectional, descriptive study was performed in 40 patients with isolated unstable thoracolumbar burst fractures. There was no significant difference between both LSC groups about age, gender, spinal pain intensity and severity of spinal cord injury. The mean of anterior vertebral body height loss, regional kyphotic angle, vertebral kyphotic angle and the windening of interpediclar distance at injured level in the group of LSC ≥ 7 were higher than group of LSC < 7 but the difference was not significant. The average of canal compromise in the group of LSC ≥ 7 was more severe than the group of LSC < 7 with significant difference.
