The thoracolumbar spine is the anatomical frontier where the thoracic spinal region meets the lumbar spinal region.he lumbar spine, on the other hand, is the place where disc degeneration and spinal arthritis are almost universal in human adults. The lower back must constantly bend and flex, carrying huge loads of stress which obvious wear down the vertebrae and intervertebral discs as part of their normal lifespans.
Fracture of the thoracic spine is a break (fracture) of one or more of the 12 bones of the thoracic spine (vertebrae T1 through T12) in the upper back. The thoracic spine is the longest section of the spine, with smaller vertebrae, a smaller spinal canal, and a less developed vascular system than the lumbar region. It is also the most stable spinal section due to support from the ribs and ribcage; significant force is needed to injure thoracic vertebrae.
