Thoracolumbar compression fracture: should we brace?

Thoracolumbar compression fracture is common following trauma. Compression fractures result from anterior or lateral flexion forces causing failure of the anterior column, sparing the middle column. Conservative treatment ranges from bracing, casting and prolonged recumbency to non-bracing with earl...
