Prior to the discovery of X-rays, the diagnosis of spinal injury was primarily based on clinical observations. Because of the impressive clinical presentation in spinal injury patients with concomitant neurological deficits, spinal injuries were frequently categorized as injuries with or without spinal cord injury (SCI) . Bohler published the first categorization of spinal injuries in 1929 based on plain radiographic examinations of treated spinal injury patients during World War I14. Since then, there has been an enormous growth of injury classification systems in spinal trauma literature, ranging from general spinal injury classifications to specific classifications.
