  1. SFR Swedish Fracture Register, Gold standard Combined classification by the reviewers, A1 Wedge compression, A2 Pincer type compression, A3/4 Burst fracture without specification, A3 Incomplete burst fracture, A4 Complete burst fracture, Other Unable to classify, B0 No injury to the posterior tension band, B1 Fracture through vertebral body and rupture of the posterior tension band through bone, B2 Rupture of the posterior tension band with or without skeletal injury, BX Injury to the posterior tension band can’t be determined, C1 Hyperextension injury without translation (injury to the anterior part of the vertebral column through the disc or vertebral body in a hyperextension position) C2/3 Translation injury or dislocation injury through bone or disc/ligament
