Mi J, et al. - In this work, to detect posterior ligamentous complex injury (PLC) or disc injury in thoracolumbar burst fractures without neurological deficit in the emergent setting, authors formulated radiological indexes based on CT for further MRI examination. The presence of canal compromise > 0.19 and/or local kyphosis > 14.00° on CT scan could be predictive of MRI findings including PLC and disc injury. These thresholds could be the guideline for MRI examination in these patients.
