Abstract
In the United States, the incidence of thoracolumbar injures is approximately 15,000 per year due to highenergy trauma resulting mainly from a motor vehicle accident in younger patients. Most commonly, thoracolumbar (TL) injuries occur at the T10 to L2 level, which is the most common site afflicted by trauma. Numerous classification systems for thoracolumbar spine injuries have established. Currently, there is no universal acceptance of a classification system for thoracolumbar spine injuries that facilitates proper communication between treating physicians and helps to standardize approaches to treatment.
