Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The present study investigates the trauma mechanisms, the type and level of vertebral fractures, the number of accompanying rib fractures and thoracic pathologies, the surgical procedures employed and the development of complications in a sample of patients who presented with vertebral fractures and concurrent rib fractures after sustaining trauma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study aimed to analyze the mechanisms of trauma, type and level of vertebral fractures, number of accompanying rib fractures and thoracic pathologies, necessity of surgery and development of complications in patients who developed vertebral fractures and rib fractures after trauma. Patients were divided into 3 groups: upper cervical , lower cervical and thoracolumbar. They were compared with each other in terms of trauma mechanisms, rib fracture numbers, accompanying thoracic pathologies, complication developments and need for surgery.
