In 86 of 192 patients (44.79%; M:F = 33:53) a spinal fracture was detected on CT and in 33 of 42 patients (78.57%; M:F = 20:13) a spinal injury was found on MRI. Of the 86 patients in whom vertebral injury was detected, fractures were detected in the Denis-B group in 33, Denis-C in 4, Denis-D in 20 and Denis-E in 11 patients. Among the vertebral bodies: 40 \"compression fractures\", 17 \"burst fractures\", 5 \"translational dislocation fractures\", 5 \"flexion-distraction fractures\" and 58 \"prolonged forced fetal posture fractures\" were detected. In addition, isolated transverse or spinous process fractures were found in eighteen vertebrae.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Our study highlights the prevalence and diverse spectrum of spinal injuries following the February 6, 2023 twin earthquakes in Turkey underscoring the urgent need for effective management strategies in similar disaster scenarios, and emphasizing the \"prolonged forced fetal posture\" damage we encountered in earthquake victims who remained under the collapse for a long time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4329\/wjr.v16.i9.398","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,26]],"date-time":"2024-09-26T06:42:53Z","timestamp":1727332973000},"page":"398-406","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Radiological findings of February 2023 twin earthquakes-related spine injuries"],"prefix":"10.4329","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ay\u015fenur","family":"Boluk\u00e7u","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ahmet G\u00fcrkan","family":"Erdemir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u0130lkay Sedakat","family":"\u0130dilman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adalet El\u00e7in","family":"Yildiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G\u00f6k\u00e7en","family":"\u00c7oban \u00c7if\u00e7i","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mehmet Ruhi","family":"Onur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erhan","family":"Akpinar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5194\/egusphere-egu23-17612"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/d41586-023-00547-7"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10140-023-02162-5"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-662-48950-5"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/cc9391"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.1.4185.427"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.301.6766.1412"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcrc.2011.03.007"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5137\/1019-5149.JTN.44241-23.1"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-013-2738-0"},{"key":"B11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-015-3831-3"},{"key":"B12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00586-015-3889-y"},{"key":"B13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4303\/jot\/235406"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20090501-01"},{"key":"B15","unstructured":"Li T, Zhou C, Liu L, Gong Q, Zeng J, Liu H, Kong Q, Song Y.
