ABSTRACT

Thirty one patients with thoracolumbar fractures secondary a jump inside a motor vehicle over a speed bump were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated in the Hospital del Trabajador Santiago between 1996 and 2005. 83 percent of the patients were female and 54.8 percent presented comorbidities. 30 had an accident in a bus, 90 percent seated in the last seat. 100 percent fractures were a type A. Seven patients were surgically treated, with two cases of permanent disability with chronic pain. Mean rest time was 108 days. We analyzed the mechanism of injury, the importance of the injury and the law in Chile related to the construction of these safety devices, concluding a rationalization of these speed bumps is necessary.
