Treatment Of Chronic Bilateral Facet Dislocation In A 6-Year-Old: A Case Report
SAGE OPEN MEDICAL CASE REPORTS(2018)
摘要
Objectives: Spine injuries seldom affect the subaxial spine in children less than 9 years of age. We describe the management of a chronic paediatric bilateral facet dislocation. Methods: Case report and literature review. A 6-year-old boy presented 10 weeks after a motor vehicle collision with bilateral C4-C5 malunited facet dislocation. He had an incomplete spinal cord injury; right brown sequard hemiplegia, Frankel grade D. Results: Surgical management was through posterior-anterior-posterior approach without preoperative skull traction. Two years postoperatively, the child was asymptomatic, ambulating and functioning well. The injury had healed in radiographs. Conclusion: A combined approach for chronic bilateral facet dislocation applies to the paediatric age group to realign the spine.
