Abstract
Fractures of the thoracic and lumbar spine are the main volume of injuries in the surgical practice of a neurosurgeon. Classification of injuries is important for standardizing the description of vertebral fractures and collecting statistical data. Important classification parameters are completeness, reliability, and reproducibility. In this paper, a detailed description and illustration of the most significant classifications of injuries of the thoracic and lumbar spine is carried out.
