x402
TLICS Calculator (Vaccaro 2005) is a paid API for AI agents from api.magentlab.com, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).
Computes the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS) from three caller-assigned clinical parameters: injury morphology, posterior ligamentous complex status, and neurologic status.

How this service works
Vaccaro 2005 TLICS: morphology compression 1 / burst 2 / translational_rotational 3 / distraction 4 (single most severe) + plc intact 0 / suspected_indeterminate 2 / injured 3 + neuro intact 0 / nerve_root 2 / complete_cord_conus 2 / incomplete_cord_conus 3 / cauda_equina 3. Max 10. Bands 0-3 nonoperative, 4 equivocal, >=5 operative guidance. Not a surgical order. Not AO spine. Not SINS (neoplastic). magent does not read imaging. Not a medical device.
Output
Returns the TLICS total score (0–10), individual subscores for morphology, PLC, and neurologic status, and the corresponding management guidance band: 0–3 nonoperative, 4 equivocal, 5 or above operative. Does not constitute a surgical order or diagnosis.
Example use cases
Operative triage for burst fracture
“My trauma patient has a burst fracture morphology, a suspected or indeterminate posterior ligamentous complex, and nerve root neurologic involvement — what is their TLICS score and does it suggest surgery?”
Nonoperative confirmation for compression fracture
“Can you compute the TLICS score for a patient with a simple compression fracture, an intact PLC, and no neurologic deficit? I want to confirm they fall in the nonoperative range.”
Equivocal score review for distraction injury
“Score this TLICS for me: distraction morphology, injured PLC, and neurologically intact — I need to know whether the score lands in the equivocal zone or clearly operative territory.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.magentlab.com/api/calc/tlicsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a fast, programmatic TLICS score computation per the original Vaccaro 2005 methodology for thoracolumbar injuries. Prefer it over manual lookup tables when integrating TLICS into an automated clinical workflow or documentation tool. Do not use for neoplastic spinal instability (use SINS instead), cervical spine scoring, or AO Spine classification.
Side effects
- Missing required query parameter (morphology, plc, or neuro) returns a validation error
- Invalid enum value for any parameter returns a 400 bad request
- Network timeout or API unavailability returns a 5xx error
- Score reflects only the Vaccaro 2005 TLICS system; not applicable to AO Spine, SINS (neoplastic), or pediatric variants
