• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Any patient with Acute (within one month) thoracolumbar spine fracture above 18 years old with or without neurological deficit in orthopaedics and trauma department of Assiut university hospital from 1st of November 2018 to 31 st of October 2019.

You may qualify if:

• Any patient with Acute (within one month) thoracolumbar spine fracture above 18 years old with or without neurological deficit
• In orthopaedics and trauma department of Assiut university hospital from 1st of November 2018 to 31 st of October 2019.

You may not qualify if:

• Patients younger than 18 years old.
• Patients suffering from preoperative neurological diseases that hinder our examination like peripheral neuropathy or previous strokes.
• Obtuned patients who cannot be properly examined like those with low GCS score.
• Patients with old thoracolumbar fractures more than one month duration.
• Patients with pathological spine fractures like those with osteoporosis and cancer metastasis.
• Patients with fracture type A0 according to AO classification.
