This fracture commonly occurs in the first lumbar vertebra to the forth lumbar vertebra, and neurological complication is unfrequent.Our case occurred in the twelfth thoracic vertebra, and there was no neurological complication. Our patient stayed in bed for two months after which he was mobilized, wearing thoracolumbar cast. He was discharged about three months after odmission with instructions to remove the cast after eight weeks.At five months radiographs showed consolidation of the fracture, in spite of kyphosis of about 20°.Now seven months later the patient is free of symptoms and he comebacks business. |
