Hello!
I read here on https://radiologyassistant.nl/musculoske...sification that on the TLICS grading scale, a distraction injury always involves the posterior ligamentous complex (PLC) and therefore by definition is surgical (4 pts for morphology + 3 pts for PLC involvement)
However, the AO classification system has a Type B3 distraction-hyperextension category that does not seem (at least on the illustrations, attached below) to involve the PLC
Can anyone provide clarification on this?
Thank you!
