PDFAbstract
Objective To compare the application effect of X-ray and CT examination before and after the treatment of severe burst fractures of thoracolumbar spine. Methods A total of 63 patients with severe burst fractures of thoracolumbar spine admitted into the hospital during June 2012 to December 2014 were studied. X-ray and CT scan were performed, respectively. The accuracy of Denis classificatory diagnosis and diagnosis of vertebral anterior edge compression graduation was compared. Results The diagnostic accuracy of CT in Denis classification and vertebral anterior edge compression graduation were 95.2% and 92.0%, respectively. Compared with 84.1% and 79.4% of X-ray and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion X-ray can definite the injured vertebral fracture plane, damage extent and degree clear. CT examination is of greater advantage. It can clearly show the fracture details, spinal posterior column displacement fractures and spinal canal stenosis, which is beneficial to define the type of fracture and provide guidance for the formulation of surgical treatment. Objective conditions allowed, X-ray can be combined with CT examination.
