Patients with thoracolumbar fractures and fracture-dislocations of the spine often have associated injuries. One rare and potentially life-threatening concomitant injury is aortic trauma. In cases of fracture-dislocation at the thoracolumbar junction, injuries to the thoracic aorta must be diagnosed early and treated appropriately in conjunction with posterior fixation of the unstable spine.
胸腰椎骨折和脊柱骨折脱位患者常伴有其他损伤。一种罕见且可能危及生命的伴随损伤是主动脉创伤。在胸腰段交界处骨折脱位的病例中，必须早期诊断胸主动脉损伤，并在不稳定脊柱后路固定的同时进行适当治疗。
