[Thoracic trauma with injuries of the thoracic spine].
From a major series of surgically treated patients with fractures and fracture dislocations of the thoracic spine 4 cases are presented exhibiting different trauma mechanisms and presenting with a variety of associated acute and chronic intrathoracic lesions. Surgical stabilisation and treatment of additional intrathoracic injury (vascular, lymphatic duct, empyema, posttraumatic fibrothorax) necessitated a transpleural approach, effective for the spine as well. Diagnostic radiology was restricted to minimal requirements due to urgency and/or difficulties of exposure.
