Evaluation of Oxidative Stress Levels and Antioxidant Enzyme Activities in Burst Fractures.

CONCLUSIONS Oxidative stress appears to be related to burst fractures. Considering the importance of burst fractures in spinal cord injuries, a better understanding of these mechanisms may help in defining the role of oxidative stress after burst fractures. Prospective, randomized, controlled trials may reveal new therapeutic approaches that include antioxidants for explosive fractures focusing on oxidative stress. PMID: 29324724 [PubMed - in process]
