ABSTRACT

Introduction The AOSpine Thoracolumbar Spine Injury Classification (AOSTSIC) system has been proposed to better characterize injury morphologies and improve the classification of thoracolumbar (TL) spine trauma. However, the indications for surgical treatment according to the AOSTSIC system are still debated. Additionally, the proposed Thoracolumbar AOSpine Injury Score (AOSIS) is quite complex, which may preclude its use in daily practice. The objective of this reviewis to discuss the AOSTSIC systemand its indications for initial nonoperative versus surgical management of acute TL spine trauma. Methods We analyzed the literature for each injury type (and subtype, when pertinent) according to the AOSTSIC system as well as their potential treatment options. Results Patients with AOSTSIC subtypes A0, A1, and A2 are neurologically intact in the vast majority of the cases and initially managed nonoperatively. The treatment of A3- and A4-subtype injuries (burst fractures) in neurologically-intact patients is still debated with great controversy, with initially nonoperative management being considered an option in select patients. Surgery is recommended when there are neurological deficits or failure of nonoperativemanagement,with the role of magnetic resonance findings in the Posterior Ligamentous Complex (PLC) evaluation still being considered controversial. Injuries classified as type B1 in neurologically-intact patients may be treated, initially, with nonoperative management, provided that there are no ligamentous injury and non-displacing fragments. Due to severe ligamentous injury, type-B and type-C injuries should be considered as unstable injuries that must be surgically treated, regardless of the neurological status of the patient. Conclusions Until further evidence, we provided an easy algorithm-based guide on the spinal trauma literature to help surgeons in the decision-making process for the treatment of TL spine injuries classified according to the new AOSTSIC system.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT In the present study, we evaluated the reliability and safety of a new upper cervical spine injury treatment algorithm to help in the selection of the best treatment modality for these injuries. Methods Thirty cases, previously treated according to the new algorithm, were presented to four spine surgeons who were questioned about their personal suggestion for treatment, and the treatment suggested according to the application of the algorithm. After four weeks, the same questions were asked again to evaluate reliability (intra- and inter-observer) using the Kappa index. Results The reliability of the treatment suggested by applying the algorithm was superior to the reliability of the surgeons’ personal suggestion for treatment. When applying the upper cervical spine injury treatment algorithm, an agreement with the treatment actually performed was obtained in more than 89% of the cases. Conclusion The system is safe and reliable for treating traumatic upper cervical spine injuries. The algorithm can be used to help surgeons in the decision between conservative versus surgical treatment of these injuries.


RESUMO Avaliamos a reprodutibilidade e segurança do algoritmo Upper Cervical Spine Injuries Treatment Algorithm (UCITA) recém proposto para a escolha do tratamento das lesões traumáticas da junção crânio-cervical. Métodos Trinta casos previamente tratados de acordo com o algoritmo foram apresentados a quatro cirurgiões de coluna, sendo questionada a conduta pessoal dos mesmos e a conduta segundo a aplicação do algoritmo. Após 4 semanas, foram refeitas as mesmas perguntas para avaliar a reprodutibilidade (intra e interobservador) do algoritmo, através do índice estatístico “Kappa”. Resultados A reprodutibilidade da conduta com o uso do algoritmo foi superior a reprodutibilidade da conduta pessoal dos cirurgiões. Com o uso do UCITA, a concordância do tratamento realmente efetivado foi encontrada em mais de 89% dos casos. Conclusão O uso do UCITA foi seguro e reprodutível, podendo ser usado como ferramenta auxiliar na tomada de decisão entre tratamento cirúrgico versus conservador dos traumatismos da junção crâniocervical.

ABSTRACT

The SLICS (Sub-axial Cervical Spine Injury Classification System) was proposed to help in the decision-making of sub-axial cervical spine trauma (SCST), even though the literature assessing its safety and efficacy is scarce. Method We compared a cohort series of patients surgically treated based on surgeon’s preference with patients treated based on the SLICS. Results From 2009-10, 12 patients were included. The SLICS score ranged from 2 to 9 points (mean of 5.5). Two patients had the SLICS < 4 points. From 2011-13, 28 patients were included. The SLICS score ranged from 4 to 9 points (mean of 6). There was no neurological deterioration in any group. Conclusion After using the SLICS there was a decrease in the number of patients with less severe injuries that were treated surgically. This suggests that the SLICS can be helpful in differentiating mild from severe injuries, potentially improving the results of treatment. .


O SLICS (Sub-axial Cervical Spine Injury Classification System) foi proposto para auxílio na tomada de decisão no tratamento do traumatismo da coluna cervical sub-axial. Contudo, existem poucos trabalhos que avaliem sua segurança e eficácia. Método Realizamos estudo comparativo de série histórica de pacientes operados baseados na indicação pessoal do cirurgião com pacientes tratados baseados na aplicação do SLICS. Resultados Entre 2009-10, 12 pacientes foram incluídos. O SLICS escore variou de 2 a 9 pontos (média de 5,5) com dois pacientes com escore menor que 4. Entre 2011-13, 28 pacientes foram incluídos. O escore de SLICS variou de 4 a 9 pontos, com média de 6. Conclusão Observamos que após o uso do SLICS houve uma diminuição do número de pacientes operados com lesões mais estáveis. Isso sugere que o SLICS pode ser útil para auxiliar a diferenciação de lesões leves das graves, eventualmente melhorando os resultados do tratamento. .

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) inter-reader and intra-reader reliabilities using the thoracolumbar injury classification system and severity score (TLICS) and to analyze the effects of reader experience on reliability and the possible reasons for discordant interpretations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Six radiologists (two senior, two junior radiologists, and two residents) independently scored 100 MRI examinations of thoracolumbar spine injuries to assess injury morphology and posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) integrity according to the TLICS. Inter-reader and intra-reader agreements were determined and analyzed according to the number of years of radiologist experience. RESULTS: Inter-reader agreement between the six readers was moderate (k = 0.538 for the first and 0.537 for the second review) for injury morphology and fair to moderate (k = 0.440 for the first and 0.389 for the second review) for PLC integrity. No significant difference in inter-reader agreement was observed according to the number of years of radiologist experience. Intra-reader agreements showed a wide range (k = 0.538-0.822 for injury morphology and 0.423-0.616 for PLC integrity). Agreement was achieved in 44 for the first and 45 for the second review about injury morphology, as well as in 41 for the first and 38 for the second review of PLC integrity. A positive correlation was detected between injury morphology score and PLC integrity. CONCLUSION: The reliability of MRI for assessing thoracolumbar spinal injuries according to the TLICS was moderate for injury morphology and fair to moderate for PLC integrity, which may not be influenced by radiologist' experience.

ABSTRACT

Os autores discutem a aplicação da classificação AO e do conceito de Denis na qualificação dos traumatismos raquimedular e raquidiano, com ênfase nas indicações de cirurgia da coluna vertebral, expondo um quadro prático para tomada de decisão, que engloba todas as situações. Citam que embora tais classificações, as mais usadas na atualidade, sejam úteis para alicerçar o raciocínio clínico e cirúrgico dos casos de traumatismo raquimedular (TRM) e traumatismo raquidiano (TR), independente da forma de classificação empregada, ou mesmo que surjam outras classificações para os mesmos propósitos, duas questões serão sempre as mais importantes a serem respondidas pelos médicos assistentes na tomada de decisão: Há déficit neurológico? Há instabilidade da coluna vertebral?


The authors discuss the application of the AO classification and the concept of Denis, in qualifying of spinal cord injury, with emphasis on indications of spine surgery, exposing a practical framework for decision making, which includes all situations. Although these ratings, the most used are useful to support the clinical reasoning and surgical cases, two questions must always be answered by attending physicians for making decisions: Is there neurological deficit? Is there instability of the spine?

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Estudo retrospectivo de uma série de 79 pacientes com fratura traumática da coluna torácica,limitada entre T1 e T10,hospitalizados entre 1995 e 2004 no Serviço de Neurocirurgia do Centro Hospitalar Universitário(CHU), Norte de Marseille, França.Métodos:As fraturas foram classificadas de acordo com a classificação da AO(Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen)e o quadro neurológico por meio da classificação de Frankel na hospitalização,aos seis meses e um ano.Resultados:A etiologia mais frequente das fraturas foram os acidentes automobilísticos(68,3 por cento), e o tipo de fratura, o B(54,4 por cento); 57 pacientes foram considerados politraumatizados e 82,3 por cento apresentavam lesão medular. O tratamento cirúrgico foi empregado em 96,2 por cento dos casos, sendo a via posterior a mais utilizada com objetivo de estabilização,descompressão medular, correção do alinhamento da coluna, diminuição da dor e mobilização precoce.Conclusão:As incidências, as causas, os tipos de fraturas e os manejos destas foram analisados e comparados com a literatura e os resultados confirmaram a gravidade das lesões neste segmento da coluna, o número elevado de lesões associadas, a raridade de recuperação neurológica, assim como o benefício do tratamento cirúrgico por via posterior.

ABSTRACT

AO Type C Thoracolumbar fractures are the most complex and unstable spine injuries, with a high frecuency of neurological impairment. The goal of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics, management and outcome in worker’s compensation patients with type C AO thoracolumbar fractures that were surgically treated in our hospital between January 1994 and December 2004. We collected 88 patients, 68 of them had work related accidents. Four patients were discarded because of insufficient data. The median follow up was 58 months. Of the 64 patients evaluated (mean age 35.7 years), 94 percent were men. The most common mechanism of injury was height fall (41 percent). Associated injuries occurred in 80 percent of the patients (23 percent had another spine fracture). Neurological impairment was present in 64 percent, 22 percent had incomplete, while 42 percent had complete impairment. The majority of the patients presented a C3 AO thoracolumbar fracture (50 percent). The average preoperative time was 6 days (range 0-64). The mean time of surgery was 224 minutes (range 80-640). Only 9.3 percent of the patients required a complementary anterior approach. The median hospitalization time was 61 days (6-275) and the mean postoperative rest was 9.8 months (1.4-34). We had 11 acute complications and 6 delayed complications. Return to work occurred in 64 percent of the patients, while 59 percent was compensated. Among the patients presenting partial neurological impairment, 50 percent improved at least one degree in the Frankel scale.


Las fracturas tóracolumbares tipo C de la AO corresponden a las lesiones espinales más complejas e inestables, con una alta incidencia de compromiso neurológico. El objetivo del presente estudio es describir las características clínicas, manejo y evolución de los pacientes accidentados del trabajo, con fracturas tóracolumbares tipo C de la AO, operados en nuestro hospital. Revisamos en forma retrospectiva los casos entre enero de 1994 y diciembre de 2004. Recolectamos 88 pacientes, 68 de los cuales correspondían a accidentados del trabajo. Cuatro casos fueron eliminados por información incompleta. La mediana de seguimiento fue de 58 meses. De los 64 pacientes evaluados (edad promedio 35,7 años),el 94 por ciento eran hombres. El mecanismo de lesión más común fue caída de altura (41 por ciento). Un 80 por ciento de los pacientes presentaron lesiones asociadas (23 por ciento con fractura de columna a otro nivel). Un 64 por ciento ingresó con compromiso neurológico, de los cuales, el 22 por ciento fue parcial y 42 por ciento completo. La mayoría de las fracturas fueron tipo C3 de la clasificación AO (50 por ciento). El tiempo promedio preoperatorio fue de 6 días (0-64). La duración promedio de la cirugía fue de 224 minutos (80-640). Un 9,3 por ciento de los pacientes requirió de una vía anterior complementaria. La mediana de hospitalización fue de 61 días (6-275) y el tiempo promedio de reposo post operatorio fue de 9,8 meses (1,4-34 meses). Hubo 11 complicaciones precoces y 6 tardías. Un 64 por ciento retornó al trabajo y un 59 por ciento fue indemnizado. De los pacientes con compromiso neurológico parcial, un 50 por ciento recuperó al menos un grado en la escala de Frankel.

ABSTRACT

Introduccion: El compromiso de raquis cervical alto en la artritis reumatoide (AR) no es una entidad estatica; por el contrario, es una afeccion dinamica y progresiva. Esta cadena lesional comienza con la subluxacion C1-C2 anterior reducible hasta la rigidez, con la consiguiente migracion de la odontoides hacia el foramen magno, que ocasiona invalidez o la muerte del paciente. La subluxacion C1-C2 se encuentra en el 80 por ciento de los pacientes a los 24 meses del diagnostico y en el 100 por ciento de ellos a los 5 años de la aparicion de la enfermedad. El hecho de que las lesiones neurologicas no esten presentes en todos los pacientes con luxaciones genera la discusion si se debe o no artrodesar tempranamente esta articulacion. Materiales y metodos: Se evaluaron 17 pacientes mujeres con artritis reumatoide con compromiso de la columna cervical alta.Todas fueron estudiadas en forma clinica y electrofisiologica con EMG y PESS, radiografias y resonancia magnetica (RM). Se solicitaron radiografias transoral, anteroposterior, perfil neutro, en flexion y en extension. Resultados: Todos los pacientes intervenidos quirurgicamente y evaluados en esta serie fueron mujeres, con un promedio de edad de 59 años (45-72). El seguimiento medio fue de 18 meses (5-36). Todas las pacientes del grupo A fueron ambulatorias y se les realizo una fusion C1-C2 con tornillos transarticulares segun Magerl. Al final del seguimiento no evidenciaron progresion de las lesiones radiologicas ni del compromiso clinico-neurologico. Todas las pacientes del grupo B fueron no ambulatorias. En todos los casos se trato de lesiones cervicales altas rigidas con migracion de la odontoides. Todas las fijaciones fueron hasta el occipital. Todas las pacientes del grupo B presentaron complicaciones intraoperatorias y posoperatorias que requirieron, en algunos casos, asistencia respiratoria mecanica (ARM) posoperatoria. La tasa de mortalidad de este grupo fue del 40 por ciento. Conclusiones: La fusion pre...

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: We wished to evaluate the incidence of non-contiguous spinal injury in the cervicothoracic junction (CTJ) or the upper thoracic spines on cervical spinal MR images in the patients with cervical spinal injuries. MATER AND METHODS: Seventy-five cervical spine MR imagings for acute cervical spinal injury were retrospectively reviewed (58 men and 17 women, mean age: 35.3, range: 18-81 years). They were divided into three groups based on the mechanism of injury; axial compression, hyperflexion or hyperextension injury, according to the findings on the MR and CT images. On cervical spine MR images, we evaluated the presence of non-contiguous spinal injury in the CTJ or upper thoracic spine with regard to the presence of marrow contusion or fracture, ligament injury, traumatic disc herniation and spinal cord injury. RESULTS: Twenty-one cases (28%) showed CTJ or upper thoracic spinal injuries (C7-T5) on cervical spinal MR images that were separated from the cervical spinal injuries. Seven of 21 cases revealed overt fractures in the CTJs or upper thoracic spines. Ligament injury in these regions was found in three cases. Traumatic disc herniation and spinal cord injury in these regions were shown in one and two cases, respectively. The incidence of the non-contiguous spinal injuries in CTJ or upper thoracic spines was higher in the axial compression injury group (35.3%) than in the hyperflexion injury group (26.9%) or the hyperextension (25%) injury group. However, there was no statistical significance (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: Cervical spinal MR revealed non-contiguous CTJ or upper thoracic spinal injuries in 28% of the patients with cervical spinal injury. The mechanism of cervical spinal injury did not significantly affect the incidence of the non-contiguous CTJ or upper thoracic spinal injury.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó el seguimiento pre y post-operatorio de 12 pacientes con fractura de la columna toracolumbar en la Unidad de Cirugía de la Columna del Hospital Universitario "Dr. Manuel Núñez Tovar", Maturín, Edo. Monagas, entre 1996 y 1998, con una evaluación a corto y mediano plazo. En 9 casos obtuvimos buenos resultados y en los 3 restantes obtuvimos malos resultados ya que las lesiones neurológicas que acompañaron a estos casos impidió la recuperación total de los pacientes. En nuestro estudio tratamos de demostrar la importancia de manejar una clasificación de las fracturas toracolumbares a fin de poder establecer cuando elegir el tratamiento conservador y cuando el quirúrgico, cuando realizar el tratamiento a través del abordaje posterior, anterior o la combinación de ambos
