Fujimoto K, et al. - This study aimed to shed light on the mechanism of neurological deterioration in patients with vertebral fractures and hence, assessed the number and severity of vertebral fractures, termination level of conus medullaris (TLCM), and neurological findings. Findings corroborated that vertebral fractures altered location of the TLCM, thus altering potential neurological symptoms. Data also indicated correlations of the TLCM with the number and severity score of vertebral fractures. Researchers recommended the spine surgeons to be aware of the link between TLCM, level of compressive lesion, and neurological findings so that the wrong level in spine surgery and unexpected neurological deteriorations after surgery may be avoided.
