AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ROENTGENOLOGY. Outcome of Traumatic Intervertebral Disk Lesions After Stabilization by Internal Fixator

Anna L. Sander, Thomas Lehnert, André El Saman, Katrin Eichler, Ingo Marzi and Helmut Laurer

OBJECTIVE. The optimal treatment of intervertebral disk lesions accompanying thoracolumbar fractures remains controversial. To evaluate short- and medium-term progression of intervertebral disk lesions accompanying vertebral fractures, MRI scans obtained after trauma were compared with scans obtained at an average follow-up of 1 year, by means of our clinically useful classification of traumatic intervertebral disk lesions.
