Abstract

The thoracolumbar junction (T11-L2) is the most common site of traumatic spinal injury comprising over 80% of all spinal trauma. We review a case presentation of a 31-year-old woman who sustained complicated L1 and L2 burst fractures after a fall from 40 feet. She underwent a two-staged anterior-posterior operation. The patient did well then presented 5 years later with a symptomatic tethered cord. We review the strategies for prevention and management of complications following this operation for thoracolumbar trauma.
