Assessment of load-sharing thoracolumbar injury: A modified scoring system

Figure 3 Two typical cases where thoracolumbar injury classification and severity score = 4, but ultimately different clinical treatments were used. A: Typical young female patient, thoracolumbar injury classification and severity score = 4, load-sharing thoracolumbar injury score = 5.5 (Compression: C/A/D = 1/1.5/1; Nerve root injury = 2), X-ray; B: Computed tomography; C: Transverse planes of computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging; D: Magnetic resonance imaging: T1WI, T2WI, STIR; E: Three-dimensional reconstruction of the lumbar spine before surgery; F: Three-dimensional reconstruction of the lumbar spine after surgery.
