“…4,5,10 Like other developing countries there is tremendously increase in number of vehicle which is not proportion to quality of road in India further raises the incident in of roadtraffic accident in younger group of people. In our study lumber spinal column was fractured (55%) followed by thoracic spine (22.78%) and cervical spine injuries noted in (20.8%) that results are similar to other studies like ville niemi et al 15 The dorsal spine is fixed and less mobile because of rib cage as compared to lumbar spine which is very mobile portion of spine. 14 The sudden transition from fixed to mobile portion makes dorso-lumbar area as a precarious site for TSI.…”

Background and Aims: Traumatic spinal injuries (TSI) are major source of morbidity and motility throughout the world. Epidemiological study of TSI has an important role in future planning for prevention and management of them. Aim of this study was determine epidemiology of TSI in Jhalawar Rajasthan state of India. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients hospital data records, admitted in Jhalawar medical college Rajasthan from January 2018 to Dec. 20019 (Period of Two Years). Result: One hundred and fifty eight cases of traumatic spinal injuries reported in period of two years from January 2018 to December 2019. Male to female ratio was 2.16:1, the most prevent age group was 30-39 years (27.8%) followed by 20-29 years (19%). Fall from height (unprotected roof, well, tree, construction site/electric pole) was most common mode of injuries (44.9%) followed by road traffic accidents (43%). Most common level of injury was lumbar spine (55%) followed by thoracic spine (22.78%). Other associated injuries with TSI were head injuries (9.5%) and extremities injuries (9.5%). Maximum number of TSI cases was reported during summer season (may-14.5% and June 15.8%). Conclusions: TSI is major source of morbidity and mortality in Rajasthan India. Younger age group and Male are more commonly affected as compare to older age group and female. Accidental fall and RTA are major cause of TSI.

“…These indicated that the prevention of falls and other low energy trauma, especially in the elderly, may reduce the incidence of spinal fractures dramatically. [1] Elderly might benefit from a directed assessment and modification of environmental hazards (e.g., problems with building design, handrails, surfaces, changes in elevation and lighting) to reduce the incidence of falls and traumatic spinal fractures. [20] In addition, by encouraging scientific, reasonable and effective sports therapy which can be used as an effective method to prevent both osteoporosis and falls in elderly, [21] might be another method to decrease the incidence rate of traumatic spinal fracture.…”

“…Traumatic spinal injuries are one of the most common causes of major morbidity and mortality. [1] Spinal and spine-related injuries, which are common in trauma, have the poorest functional outcomes and the lowest rates of return to work among all major organ injuries. [2] One of the first steps in preventing this injury is the collection and analysis of data to help define the problem and identify possible risk factors in various populations.…”

To provide a basis for disease prevention, this article aimed to clarify the incidence and risk factors of traumatic fractures in China.The China National Fracture Study (CNFS) was a retrospective epidemiological study that recruited a nationally representative sample from 8 provinces, 24 urban cities, and 24 rural counties in China using stratified random sampling and the probability proportional to size method. A total of 512,187 individuals were involved in CNFS. Incidence rates for traumatic spinal fractures were estimated from the database of CNFS. The distributions by age and sex; as well as by demographic factors such as ethnic origin, occupation, and geographical region were also analyzed. The potential risk factors for traumatic spinal fractures were also identified, such as gender, age, ethnic origin, education, occupation, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, calcium or vitamin D taking, body mass index (BMI), sleep time per day, history of previous fracture, and urbanization. This study is registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, number ChiCTR-EPR-15005878.Around 168 individuals (92 men and 76 women, mean age 55.36 ± 16.19 years) reported 178 (10 individuals with 2 segments) segments of spinal fractures that had occurred in 2014. The incidence rate for traumatic spinal fractures was 32.80 per 100,000 people. Stratified by occupation, retired and unemployed individuals had the highest incidence rates: 72.45 (42.19-102.71) and 64.08 (36.68-91.48) per 100,000 people. According to education level, illiterate individuals had the highest incidence rate (73.39, 54.00-92.79 per 100,000 population). Among all age groups, fractures of thoracolumbar vertebra (T11-L2) were the most common for both sexes, followed by fractures of lumbar vertebra (L3-L5). Four independent risk factors for traumatic spinal fractures were found, including aging, alcohol drinking, sleeping <7 hours per day, and having a previous fracture history.The current study provides detailed information about the national incidence of traumatic spinal fractures, distribution, and risk factors. Aging, alcohol drinking, sleeping <7 hours per day, and having a previous fracture history were the independent risk factors for traumatic spinal fractures in China.

“…Traumatic injuries are mostcommon in the younger working population but they arealso high among the older population [2]. Spinal column injuries are rare, but they can cause high mortality andmorbidity rates with heavy burdens and lifelong social, financial, and personal problems and even permanent disabilities [3]. Traumatic spinal column injuries are alsohigh in low socio-economic areas due to frequent use of motorcycles, lack of sufficient immunity, and absence of adequate infrastructures.…”

Background: Trauma and traumatic injuries are the most common causes of disabilities among the young population in developing countries. Besides morbidity and mortality, traumatic injuries can significantly decrease the quality of life and life expectancy of the victims. Objectives: Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (TSCI) is an acute, traumatic lesion of the spinal cord. It usually produces economic problems that can emotionally and psychologically affect the patients. This study aims to evaluate spinal column fractures and TSCI in Iran. Methods: In this study, we evaluated all of the cases diagnosed with TSCIs between 2012 and 2018. A total of 1014 patients were included in our study. Prevalence of spinal column fractures was evaluated and the percentage of each type of fractures was extracted. The need for surgery and the percentage of TSCI were also evaluated. Results: The most common cause of trauma was vehicle and road accidents (83.4%) followed by falling (12.7%). A total of 21 patients (2.1%) died due to injuries. The incidence of TSCI among patients with traumatic spinal column fractures were 62 cases (6.1%). Also, 67.7% of patients with TSCI underwent surgery. Furthermore, we found that the lumbar area received the highest incidence of TSCI (38.3% of all TSCIs) followed by thoracic spine fractures (27.4% of all TSCIs). Also thoracic and cervical spine fractures were mostly associated with mortality compared with other sites of spine fractures (47.6% and 38.1% of all mortalities, respectively). Conclusion: In our study, most cases (83.4%) were injured by road accidents which indicates the low safety of vehicles and roads in Iran. Epidemiological features of spinal column injuries and TSCI vary among different societies due to different causes. So far, this study is the first one to evaluate different spine fractures and TSCI and other associated factors in the Iranian population.The results indicate a high incidence of thoracic and lumbar fractures and a higher mortality rate in thoracic and cervical fractures.
