Expert Opinion, Real-World Classification, and Decision-Making in Thoracolumbar Burst Fractures Without Neurologic Deficits?

Comparison of decision-making between an expert panel and real-world spine surgeons in thoracolumbar burst fractures without neurological deficits and which factors influence surgical decision-making shows differences appear to be less evident in A3/A4 burst fractures.

Reliability analysis of the AOSpine thoracolumbar spine injury classification system by a worldwide group of naïve spinal surgeons

It is suggested that most spine surgeons can reliably apply the AOSpine Thoracolumbar Spine Injury Classification System to spine trauma patients as or more reliably than previously described systems.

Description and Reliability of the AOSpine Sacral Classification System

The first to describe the reliability of the AOSpine Sacral Classification System among a worldwide group of expert spine and trauma surgeons, with substantial to excellent intrarater reproducibility and moderate to substantial interrater agreement for the majority of fracture subtypes is described.

A Worldwide Analysis of the Reliability and Perceived Importance of an Injury to the Posterior Ligamentous Complex in AO Type A Fractures

The inability to reliably determine the integrity of the PLC may limit the utility of the M1 modifier in the AOSpine Thoracolumbar Spine Injury Classification System.

Regional and experiential differences in surgeon preference for the treatment of cervical facet injuries: a case study survey with the AO Spine Cervical Classification Validation Group

There was considerable agreement between American and European responders regarding management of cervical facet dislocation injuries, with only 3 cases exhibiting a significant difference.

AOSpine subaxial cervical spine injury classification system

The AOSpine subaxial cervical spine injury classification system demonstrated substantial reliability in this initial assessment, and could be a valuable tool for communication, patient care and for research purposes.

Reliability of the New AOSpine Classification System for Upper Cervical Traumatic Injuries.

This study reported an acceptable reproducibility of the new AOSpine Upper Cervical Classification System and safety in recommending the treatment, and further clinical studies with a larger patient sample, multicenter and international, are necessary to sustain the universal and homogeneity quality of thenew AO UCCS.

The Influence of Fracture Mechanism and Morphology on the Reliability and Validity of Two Novel Thoracolumbar Injury Classification Systems

The results indicate the TLISS is more reliable than the TLICS, suggesting that the mechanism of trauma may be a more valuable parameter than fracture morphology for the classification and treatment of thoracolumbar injuries.

A New Classification of Thoracolumbar Injuries: The Importance of Injury Morphology, the Integrity of the Posterior Ligamentous Complex, and Neurologic Status

A new proposed classification system for thoracolumbar (TL) spine injuries, including injury severity assessment, designed to assist in clinical management and to facilitate clinical decision-making as a practical alternative to cumbersome classification systems already in use is devised.

A Concept for the Validation of Fracture Classifications

The classification of fractures from an epidemiological and clinical decision-making perspective is discussed and a standardized methodological concept for their development and scientific validation is proposed.
