Expert’s comment concerning Grand Rounds case entitled “Anterior, thoracoscopic-assisted reduction and stabilization of a thoracic burst fracture (T8) in a pregnant woman” (by Klaus John Schnake, Matti Scholz, Andreas Marx, Reinhard Hoffmann, Frank Kandziora)

[摘要] Literature exists describing both non-surgical as well as surgically successful treatment of orthopaedic trauma during pregnancy [1–3]. Lenarz et al. [4] produced a case report of the treatment of a burst fracture of T12 and an incomplete neurological deficit in a woman 17 weeks pregnant. Through a lateral approach—a lead drape was placed over the pelvis of the patient—a twelfth vertebral corpectomy and spinal canal decompression were performed and the space reconstructed with a carbon fiber cage, local bone graft, and anterior lateral instrumentation.
