Injuries to the spinal column are common in patients who sustain blunt trauma, and up to 15% of such patients will have a fracture of the thoracolumbar spine [1].

Boils and carbuncles are often caused by a type of bacteria known as Staphylococcus aureus (staph bacteria) infecting one or more hair follicles. Staph bacteria usually live harmlessly on the surface of the skin or in the lining of the nose.Boils tend to occur when the bacteria enters the skin through cuts and grazes.This causes your immune system to respond by sending infection-fighting white blood cells to kill the bacteria. Over time, a mix of dead bacteria, dead white blood cells and dead skin cells builds up inside the boil to form pus.arbuncles. A carbuncle is a dome-shaped collection of boils that usually develops over the space of a few days. They most often occur on the back, thighs, or the back of the neck. A fully grown carbuncle can be more than 10cm (4 inches) in size, and will leak pus from a number of points.
