COLLAZO ALVAREZ, Hiralio; IMBERT PALMERO, Juan; COLLAZO MARIN, Stephen Yecc  y  BOADA SALAS, Noelia Margarita. Thoracic and lumbar spinomedullary traumatism. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2002, vol.16, n.1-2, pp.53-60. ISSN 0864-215X.

An observational and descriptive study was carried out among 65 patients with thoracic and lumbar spinomedullary trauma that received medical attention at the Services of Orthopedics, Traumatology and Neurosurgery of "Roberto Rodríguez Fernández" Provincial General Teaching Hospital, in Morón, from January, 1988, to January, 2001, in order to evaluate the results in the determination of spinal segmentary stability by Luque I technique and the patients’ distribution, according to variables of complications, age, sex, type of bone graft, injury topography and Frankel’s neurological classification. There were 23.07 % of postsurgical complications and 3 deaths (4.61 %). The osteosynthesis materials used were Kunstcher’s nail, Rush’s pin of 5 mm and stainless steel rods of 6 mm. The autogenous bone graft was used in 64.61 %. The prevailing mechanism of production was the car crash (54.46 %). The final results were good in 88.70 %, fair in 4.83 % and bad in 6.45 %
