Closed therapy of thoracic and lumbar vertebral body fractures in trauma patients.

Conclusion: Failure of closed therapy for TLVBF in the trauma population is not insignificant. Non-A1 fractures had a much higher failure rate when compared to A1 fractures. We recommend close follow-up particularly of non-A1 fractures treated in closed fashion using successive CT studies. PMID: 29279800 [PubMed]
