N2  - A case study of two adults who sustained severe burst fractures of the thoracolumbar spine (T12, L1) after trivial accidents using plastic sledges. In one case a transient conus medullaris lesion was encountered. The fractures were reduced indirectly by internal fixation as well as by direct anteposition of the fragments from the spinal canal after laminectomy. The fracture mechanism is probably a result of hyperflexion combined with very little shock absorbtion from this sledgetype. Plastic sledges seem particularly hazardous for adults.<p /> <p>Language: da</p>
