Spine Trauma

**Spoilers below** If you would like to review a specific example or pathology, the diagnosis for each case is listed below:

1. Wedge compression fracture of T12.

2. Split fracture of L1.

3. Incomplete burst fracture of L2.

4. Incomplete burst fracture of L1. Suspected posterior tension band injury of T12/L1.

5. Complete burst fracture of L3.

6. Complete burst fracture of L1.

7. Isolated fracture of the inferior L1 endplate. Posterior tension band injury of L1.

8. Incomplete burst fracture of T12. Tension band injury at T11-12. Wedge compression fracture of the superior endplate of L1.

9. Incomplete burst fracture of T12. Capsuloligamentous posterior tension band injury.

10. T11 superior endplate fracture. Posterior osseo-ligamentous tension band injury.

11. Hyperextension injury with disruption of the anterior tension band at T6-7. Ankylosing spondylitis (B3M2 fracture).

12. Hyperextension injury of C7-T1. Disruption of the anterior tension band (B3). Widening of the left C7-T1 facet joint.

13. Hyperextension injury at T11-12. Superior T12 endplate fracture. Widening of the anterior T11-12 disc space.

14. T9-T10 anterior opening; called degenerative. Trauma PIPS case.

15. Dislocation/distraction injury of T3-4 (type C).

16. Dislocation/distraction injury of T4-5. Incomplete burst fracture of T5 (A3). Superior endplate wedge compression fracture of T4. 

17. Distraction/dislocation injury of L1-2 with resultant narrowing of the spinal canal. Incomplete burst fracture of L2.

18. PLL intact with cord contusion.

19. B-type fracture with cord hemorrhage.

20. CT myelo - L C6-T1 nerve root avulsions with pseudomeningoceles.

21. Evolution of post-traumatic syrinx.
