title: [Conservative and early functional therapy of fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine (author's transl)].
abstract: A series of follow-up examinations in patients treated in our clinic by conservative functional therapy for fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine without neurologic symptoms is reported. Pathological anatomy and mechanical findings are described, with the distinction between primary stable and primary unstable fractures being emphasized. Because of the preponderance of good late results in both stable and unstable conditions this methodology is recommended.
