Classification of spinal injuries based on the essential traumatic spinal mechanisms.
STUDY DESIGN: A biomechanical unitary classification of spinal injuries is proposed. OBJECTIVE: To present an evaluation of spinal injuries based on the essential traumatic spinal mechanisms: axial deformation, torsion, translation and combined mechanisms in connection with the concept of the stabilizing axial spinal pillar. SETTING: Hospital 'Sf. Treime', Iasi, Romania. METHODS: The essential mechanisms of spinal injuries are considered: (1) axial
