TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Thoracolumbar Spine Trauma A1 - Ali, Karim A2 - Sherman, Scott C. Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Simon’s Emergency Orthopedics, 7e AB - This chapter addresses traumatic fractures and dislocations to the thoracolumbar (TL) spinal column. These injuries are uncommon, and when present, are frequently overlooked. This is likely due to the fact that other more significant injuries in the traumatized patient distract the clinician and because signs and symptoms of the vertebral injury are often subtle.1 Early diagnosis and treatment of these injuries improves neurologic outcome.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessphysiotherapy.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1103536705 ER -
