Overview

The main goal of this comprehensive paper is to clarify the way of thoracolumbar spine The main goal of this summary paper is to describe the way of thoracolumbar spine injury classification development and to provide a detailed description of two of the most commonly used classifications – the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Scale (TLICS) and the AOSpine Classification for Traumatic Fracture of the Thoracolumbar Spine, including their comparison and clarification of the merits introduced by the second one. The paper also formulates a recommendation of a simple algorithm enabling even less experienced clinicians to distinguish between an injury indicated for conservative treatment and one that requires surgery.

Keywords:
