Effect of Different Injury Morphology of the Endplate on Intervertebral Disc Degeneration: Retrospective Cohort Study
The current study suggests that although the region of injury in endplate fissure-type injury is small preoperatively, it may be a major factor in leading to severe disc degeneration, loss of intervertebral height, and Cobb angle in the long term. The results of our study therefore may allow surgeons to predict the prognosis of patients with thoracolumbar fractures and guide their treatment.
