The thoracolumbar junction (T10\u2013L2) was the most common site of hemothorax (85.3%). Patients with hemothorax were divided into two groups: group 1, in which bleeding originated from fractured vertebrae, and Group 2, in which bleeding originated from the arteries associated with vertebral fractures. Surgical interventions (68.5%) were the predominant method for controlling bleeding in group 1, whereas endovascular treatments (53.3%) and surgical interventions (46.7%) were the common methods in Group 2. The mortality rate was higher in Group 1 than in Group 2 (26.3% vs. 6.7%). The incidence of massive hemothorax resulting from blunt vertebral fractures is higher in older patients. Massive hemothorax may occur in older patients even following minor traumatic events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thoracotomy remains the most reliable method for controlling bleeding caused by vertebral fractures, and transarterial embolization is an effective approach for managing arterial bleeding associated with vertebral fractures. Surviving patients often require spinal fixation after the causative bleeding for hemothorax has been controlled.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jets.jets_40_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,5]],"date-time":"2026-02-05T09:00:06Z","timestamp":1770282006000},"page":"9-14","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Massive Hemothorax Resulting from Blunt Vertebral Fracture"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Kuo-Chang","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency, Chi Mei Medical Center, Jiali Branch, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Li-Chin","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Traumatology, Chi Mei Medical Center, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kuo-Tai","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency, Chi Mei Medical Center, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20260416","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"47","DOI":"10.1016\/j.thorsurg.2007.02.006","article-title":"Hemothorax related to trauma","volume":"17","author":"Meyer","year":"2007","journal-title":"Thorac Surg Clin"},{"key":"R2-20260416","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"679","DOI":"10.1097\/TA.0000000000002881","article-title":"Predictors of retained hemothorax in trauma: Results of an Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma multi-institutional trial","volume":"89","author":"Prakash","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Trauma Acute Care Surg"},{"key":"R3-20260416","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"225","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2020.12.016","article-title":"Is massive hemothorax still an absolute indication for operation in blunt trauma?","volume":"52","author":"Huang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"R4-20260416","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"576","DOI":"10.1097\/01.TA.0000091107.00699.C7","article-title":"Profile of chest trauma in a level I trauma center","volume":"57","author":"Kulshrestha","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Trauma"},{"key":"R5-20260416","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"464","DOI":"10.22603\/ssrr.2022-0001","article-title":"Incidence and predictive factors of massive hemothorax due to thoracic vertebral fractures","volume":"6","author":"Takami","year":"2022","journal-title":"Spine Surg Relat Res"},{"key":"R6-20260416","first-page":"391","article-title":"An operative case of the right hemothorax due to dislocation fracture of the thoracic vertebra","volume":"55","author":"Kaneko","year":"2000","journal-title":"Rinsho Geka"},{"key":"R7-20260416","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"202","DOI":"10.1016\/S0020-1383(99)00252-1","article-title":"Massive haemothorax following thoracic vertebral fracture","volume":"31","author":"van Raaij","year":"2000","journal-title":"Injury"},{"key":"R8-20260416","first-page":"2679","article-title":"Characteristics of the patients undergoing surgical treatment for hemothorax: A descriptive study","volume":"28","author":"Cakmak","year":"2017","journal-title":"Biol Res"},{"key":"R9-20260416","first-page":"58","article-title":"Management of thoracic trauma in emergency service: Analysis of 1139 cases","volume":"29","author":"Dongel","year":"2013","journal-title":"Pak J Med Sci"},{"key":"R10-20260416","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"52","DOI":"10.1002\/ca.22281","article-title":"Blood supply to the human spinal cord: part I.
