Thoracolumbar fractures are common injuries after blunt trauma and are accompanied with significant morbidity, including neurologic deficit. Parallel to the evolution of initial management during the past few years, efforts have been concentrated on determining clear indications for surgical treatment, as there is no agreement over superiority of conservative or operative treatment. Various classification systems have been used for identifying those injuries requiring surgical intervention. Moreover, novel trends in surgical techniques, including minimal invasive surgery, implants and rehabilitation protocols have provided new, promising aspects regarding the treatment and outcomes of thoracolumbar fractures. The present review focuses on these recent advances.
