Abstract:
The authors present an overview on contemporary problems and possibilities of conservative treatment of fractures of the thoracolumbar spine. They draw attention to the theoretical basis of conservative treatment of fractures of the thoracolumbar spine elaborated in the twenties and thirties of this century.
