title: [Lumbar spine fractures].
abstract: In Special Hospital for orthopaedy, neurosurgery and neurology "Vaso Cuković" in Risan, during last 30 months, 51 patients with lumbar spinal fractures were treated. Surgical intervention was performed in 12% of the patients while 88% of them were treated by postural reduction. In the moment of arrival, neurological deficit was noticed in ten patients, and after the treatment three of them had a significant improvement of the function. During the treatment we had one exitus as a consequence of the polytrauma. The authors analyse the results of the treatment favorising early mobilisation in compressive lumbar spinal fractures and surgical intervention in the patients with neurological deficit.
