Description

Compression fractures in the thoracolumbar junction are one of the most frequent types of spine injuries. They can be the result of trauma or underlying conditions of the vertebrae. We present a case report of a 68-year-old patient with pain and loss of mobility in the lumbar spine after sustaining a trauma via falling from a significant height. Lumbar spondylography and a following CT scan revealed a complex compression fracture of L1 with degenerative osteoporotic changes of lumbar vertebrae and several pathologies of the lumbosacral junction. A surgical intervention was performed in the form of posterior transpedicular vertebral stabilization with titanium rods and screws. Postoperatively, relief from the lumbar region pain was reported. No neurological deficit was observed. The patient was mobilized, rehabilitated, and discharged from the hospital. This case report emphasizes the use of reliable imaging methods for the diagnosis of thoracolumbar compression fracture and highlights the reliability of surgical treatment of the condition via posterior transpedicular vertebral stabilization.
