Thoracolumbar spinal fractures associated with ground level falls in the elderly: An analysis of 254,486 emergency department visits
Journal of Clinical Orthopaedics and Trauma(2020)
摘要
This investigation evaluated the epidemiology of elderly patients who presented to the ED in the United States with TL fractures after ground level falls. The study demonstrated a rather high incidence of TL fractures in this patient cohort. As a result, it is important for ED physicians and orthopaedic surgeons to be highly suspicious of TL fractures in elderly patients who sustain low energy trauma. With the continued aging of the population and rising health care costs, future effort ought to focus on fall prevention and increased surveillance for TL injuries in the elderly.
