Abstract: Spinal fractures are a big challenge to orthopedists.Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS),a newly developed evaluation system for thoracolumbar fractures,has proved to be valid and reliable in the last decade.However,there have still been many problems in the clinical application of TLICS in China.We discussed nine issues about the clinical application of TLICS in this article,hoping to promote better understanding and application of TLICS in Chinese spinal surgeons in their daily practice.
