A case of dual three-column thoracic spinal fractures following traumatic injury.

Typically, they are attributed to high-impact trauma resulting in complete spinal cord injuries.[ 2 ] However, there may be significant variability in both the severity of the fractures and the pattern of the two distinct injuries.[ 1 , 3 - 5 ] Here, the authors present a 19-year-old male with noncontiguous, unstable thoracic spine fractures involving the T3–T5 and T11–12 levels, which warranted T3–L3 decompression/fusion.
