Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2015, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: To analyze the frequency and treatment modality of spine fractures in concomitant pelvic region fracture diagnosed and followed-up patients Patients and Methods: The files of the patients, who were treated for pelvis and acetabulum fractures between March 2009 – December 2014, were evaluated retrospectively. Spine injuries and treatment modalities of the 26 patients having spine and pelvis injuries concomitantly were evaluated. Treatment modalities and timing of the surgery for both area injuries due to high energy fractures were analyzed. Results: Spine injuries were diagnosed in 26 of the 182 patients, who were treated for pelvic region fractures between March 2009 and December 2014. In spine injured 6 patients, 8 burst fractures, in 6 patients 8 compression fractures, in 2 patients 2 spinous process fractures and in 12 patients 25 transvers process fractures were diagnosed. Eight patients were operated for burst fractures and 1 patient was operated for compression fracture. The other patients with other diagnosis were treated conservatively. Conclusion: Pelvic injuries concomitant with spine injuries is frequent. In the treatment decision, priority is to stabilize vital functions.
