Background
- Unstable if:
- Associated neurologic deficits
- Loss of >50% of vertebral body height
- >20 degrees of spinal angulation
- Compromise of >50% of spinal canal
- Axial compression > nucleus pulposus forced into vertebral body
Clinical Features
Differential Diagnosis
Vertebral fractures and dislocations types
- Cervical fractures and dislocations
- Thoracic and lumbar fractures and dislocations
Evaluation
- Imaging
- Lateral x-ray - Comminuted body and loss of vertebral height
- AP x-ray - Vertical fracture of the body
Management
- Prehospital Immobilization see NAEMSP National Guidelines for Spinal Immobilization
