Summary |
The authors describe a case of traumatic lateral spine dislocation at the thoracolumbar junction level, without fracture, in a healthy young adult, complicated by a complete neurological deficit. The main aspects of surgical management are discussed based on a review of the literature. Control of the spinal cord is a mandatory first step, before reduction, independently of neurological deficits considerations. Instrumented stabilization and fusion are achieved thereafter; levels selection for instrumentation and fusion depends on the injury location.
