Remodelling of the spinal canal after burst fracture. A prospective study of two cases

MW Fidler

Orthopaedic Department, Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Two cases of burst fracture of the upper lumbar spine are reported. In both cases the narrowing of the spinal canal shown by CT scans was progressively relieved by natural remodelling. The need for operative decompression should be assessed clinically and not from CT scans only.
