Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• The posterior column is reduced first; any depressed cartilage is elevated; and the posterior wall is reduced.
• The extension of the fracture line toward the SI joint is suggestive of the both column fracture classified as C3, however the posterior column is clearly intact in the fracture described herein.
• The Posterior column is situated between the posterior median and posterior lateral fissures.
• The posterior column is composed of the osseous and ligamentous structures posterior to the posterior longitudinal ligament.
• For T-type fractures, the posterior column is the greater concern, and requires reduction and fixation even if the fracture is very low.
