Abstract
Children have more elastic soft tissue and more potential for remodeling than adults. Certain injuries are unique to children, including posterior limbus injuries, most cases of spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormalities, and spinal trauma in child abuse. This article discusses the pathomechanics, clinical presentation, treatment, and some of the complications of injuries of the thoracolumbar spine in children.
