Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of CT and MRI in diagnosis and directing clinical management of vertebral burst fracture.Methods The imaging features of vertebral burst fracture in 66 cases were analyzed,including cervical vertebrae 6,thoracic vertebrae 3,thoracolumbar area 48,and lumbar vertebrae 9 cases.There were 50 male and 16 female,the average age was 35 years.CT and MRI were taken in all patients.Results CT clearly demonstrated the vertebrae and accompanying appendix fracture,spinal canal stenosis and retropulsed fragment.While MRI in showing injury and tear of ligament and intervertebral disc,abnormal signals due to spinal cord compression were superior to CT.Conclusion CT in combination with MRI in diagnosis and directing surgical management is of important value.
