    The study evaluated the reliability and reproducibility of mTLICS and TL AOSIS in surgical decision-making for thoracolumbar fractures.

  • 2

    A retrospective analysis included 100 thoracolumbar injury patients treated between January 2021 and December 2023.

  • 3

    Interobserver and intraobserver kappa values for TL AOSIS and mTLICS indicated good reliability across various assessment categories.

  • 4

    Significant differences were found between the two scoring systems in assessing fracture morphology and tension band injuries.

  • 5

    No significant differences were observed in neurological status evaluations between the TL AOSIS and mTLICS scoring systems.
