title: [Concepts in the treatment of injuries of the thoracic and lumbar spine].
abstract: The thoracolumbar connection represents a particular problem in view of the extent and stability of spine damage. A retrospective examination after conservative treatment of unstable injuries has shown unfavourable results. The authors therefore established a new therapeutic concept for this injury. Instable injuries should be surgically treated as early as possible, those with neurological defect are subject for emergency operation. A surgical approach (posterior transpedicular) is described. The urgent operation on the injured persons with medullar lesions enable an early rehabilitation and prevents further complications.
