Abstract
Aim. to create a classification of posttraumatic deformities of the thoracic and lumbar spine.
Materials and methods. 124 patients with posttraumatic deformities of the thoracic and lumbar spine were treated. The patients were operated on during the period of 6 months to 14 years from the moment of injury. The operations were carried out in the period of 2003-2017.
Results. A classification has been developed based on three orthopedic features. The classification offers 80 variations of post-traumatic deformities of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Variations of deformities are indicated by three symbols: a digit, a letter, a digit, for example: 4.B.1 or 2.E.3, etc.
Conclusion. The created classification systematizes variations of posttraumatic deformations of the thoracic and lumbar spine according to three orthopedic features. The classification can be a subject of discussion of interested specialists. In the future, the classification will be the basis for the algorithm for surgical treatment of patients with posttraumatic deformities of the thoracic and lumbar spine.
