ABSTRACT

TFractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine occur usually in polytrauma young patients. These injuries occur most frequently in this transitional zone because it has more mobility than the high dorsal spine, where the ribs represent a stabilization system. In the United States of America accidents are considered the fourth cause of death with an incidence of 50 for each 100,000 inhabitants, of which 3% obey vertebral fractures with nerve damage, it is important to infer the existence of such injury in any polytrauma patient and therefore it should be mobilized according to protocols established for this purpose. In 1930 Watson-Jones noted that this fractures are usually caused by a bending mechanism. Actual methods of instrumentation to fix these types of injuries has their bases on the system proposed by Cotrel and Dubousset. Today there are several systems for the treatment of these injuries.
