Core Tip

Core Tip: In the classification of damages from the earthquakes in Turkey on February 6, 2023, it was found that the injuries were predominantly crush-related rather than escape-related. Observations revealed that patients frequently sustained damage to the thoracolumbar regions due to prolonged fetal positioning under debris. It was determined that a significant portion of patients with spinal canal injuries had damage consistent with the thoracolumbar junction.
