Abstract: The spinal traumatic injury is a kind of common disease and is found frequently in daily clinical works. How to evaluate spinal injuries correctly became an urgent task to both orthopedists and radiologist. The task of radiology is to establish the traumatic diagnosis, classification and to estimate if the fracture is stable or instable and lead further radiological evaluation in cases of non-agreement between the radiological diagnosis and the clinical (neurological) findings. While skeletal abnormalities are best diagnosed with spiral CT. Secondly it is diagnosed by plain film . The soft tissue lesions, such as cord injuries or ligament ruptures, are best displayed by MRI examination. The classification of fractures depends on biomechanics and fracture location. All these efforts are necessary to get the best clinical outcome for the patient.
