Özet: Background: The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the radiological and blood biochemical values of patients with collapse fractures at initial and sixth month follow-up. Materials and Methods: Seventy thoracolumbar collapse fractures followed between June 2014 and December 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Age and gender were not discriminated against multiple collapse fractures, infections and metastases were excluded. Radiology and biochemical data were recorded retrospectively. Statistical analysis was performed. Results: When 70 thoracolumbar spine collapse fractures were evaluated retrospectively, 41 (53.68 ± 19.27) were male and 29 (61.1 ± 16.87) were female. The mean age was 56.76 ± 18.56 (14-98) years. Although the number of males was higher when men and women were compared, no statistically significant difference was found (p= 0.09). It was frequently seen in older women. Thoracolumbar collapse fractures were frequently occurring at T11-L2 level. Initial kyphosis angles (10.56 ± 6.97) and sixth month kyphosis angles (12.25 ± 7.47) were compared statistically (p<0.001). While biochemical values were positively correlated with each other, age and albumin were correlated negatively. No significant correlation was found between age and biochemical values when compared with kyphosis angle. Conclusion: In our study, we observed that the kyphosis angle increases with time in fractures of the thoracolumbar spine collapse. This condition was not associated with age and blood biochemical values of total protein, albumin and calcium.
