Posterior Ligament Complex Assessment Without Magnetic Resonance Image in Thoracolumbar Fractures

NCT02950532 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2020-08-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The objective of this investigation is to confirm the results obtained in a pilot study showing that certain radiological parameters based on computed tomography (CT) scans seem to reliably detect posterior ligament complex (PLC) injury without the need for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

Conditions

  • Spinal Deformity
  • Spinal Fractures
  • Spinal Injuries
  • Kyphosis

Interventions

OTHER

Retrospective radiological evaluation

Radiological evaluation will be performed in already existing imaging exams. Superior-inferior end plate angle (SIEA), vertebral body height (BH), local kyphosis (LK), inter-spinous distance (ISD) and inter-pedicular distance (IPD) will be measured in CT scans and radiographs (if available). PLC injury will be determinated with the gold standard method (MRI).
