Read the detailed description

Trauma to the thoracolumbar spine is responsible for potentially serious lesions, most often involving the functional prognosis in the short, medium and long term, and rarely the vital prognosis .

The thoracolumbar spine has an extended transition zone between the tenth thoracic vertebra (T10) and the second lumbar vertebra (L2): the thoracolumbar hinge which, given its particular anatomical situation between a poorly mobile thoracic segment and a dynamic lumbar segment, is the predilection for occurrence of fractures and dislocations .

The frequency of these traumas is explained by falls from high places, especially during work accidents or suicide attempts, but also by the perpetual increase in accidents on public roads.

The analysis of the lesion mechanism and its consequences depends on the understanding of the classification of these lesions which are essential for therapeutic conduct .

Surgical treatment constitutes a key element in the management strategy for these fractures

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • OsteosynthesisProcedure or surgery

    Also called Release gestures, Arthrodesis, First approach

    Some patients had osteosynthesis using a long construct, others had osteosynthesis using a short construct. Short constructs designated constructs only taking one level above and one level below the injury level (the fractured vertebra was not always included in the construct). The montages taking more than one level above or below the lesion were considered to be a long montage. Osteosynthesis is carried out using Cotrel Dubousset type rods and screws.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Age (in years)

    average age of our patients was 38.25 years with extremes of 16 years and 68 years

    Measured: from enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 years

  2. Sex

    Our series is characterized by a significant male predominance, it included 47 men (58.75%) and 33 women (41.25%), with a sex ratio of 1.42

    Measured: from enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 years

  3. Neurological status ( Frenkel classification)

    3 Frankel A patients, 1 Frankel B patient, 6 Frankel C patients and 6 Frankel D

    Measured: from enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Spine Fracture, run by Ibn Jazzar Hospital at 1 site in Tunisia.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Tunisia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Age (in years) (time frame: from enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Apr 2024.
