BACKGROUND: Though spine trauma contributes to great functional, psychological, and economic loss, research regarding the demographic profile of patients according to different regions of our country are lacking.This study aims to identify the demographic pattern and clinical profile of patients with spinal fracture in the Sub-Himalayan region.
METHOD: Patients with acute or subacute spine trauma presenting within 8weeks and involving fracture of cervical, dorsal, or lumbar vertebra, from July 2017 to December 2019 were included prospectively. Patients with osteoporotic or metastatic collapse, isolated transverse or spinous process fracture, penetrating trauma or ballistic injuries were excluded.
RESULTS: Out of 280 enrolled patients, 180 were males and 100 were females. The maximum number of spine trauma patients was in 16-30 years age group. The most common mechanism of injury was fall from height (FFH, 42.5%)> road traffic accident (RTA, 38.6%). RTA was more common among males and FFH among females (p < 0.0001). Most common location of injury was at thoracolumbar junction (D10-L2) (37.5%) followed by cervical spine (25.3%). 58.2% of patients had AO type A facture morphology followed by AO types C (36.1%) and AO type B (5.7%). Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) was seen in 82.1% spine trauma patients with statistically significant association with male gender (p- 0.045). Complete paralysis was seen maximum in patients with cervical spine injury (67.3%, p < 0.0001). Complete neurological deficit (ASIA grade A) was seen maximum in AO type C fracture morphology (74.25%, p < 0.001) followed by AO type A4 (29.6%). Seasonal distribution showed increased incidence during summer and monsoon season.
CONCLUSION: Young aged males in age group of 16-30 yrs were most commonly affected with fall from height as the most common mechanism of trauma. Association was found between gender and mechanism of injury (RTA in males and FFH in females). Most common vertebral injury level was thoracolumbar junction. AO type A was the most common fracture morphology. SCI seen in 82.1% of spine trauma. Statistically significant association was found between Complete SCI with Location of Injury (Cervical) and Fracture morphology (AO type C).
