Abstract:
Objective To introduce a single level fixation and reduction for cervical dislocation. Methods 15 patients who had old cervical dislocation were treated from May 2003 to April 2004. All the patients had facet locking that could not be reduced though traction. We used posterior approach to relax facet locking and thick Ethicon wire to fix spinal process. We used anterior poach to plug coralline hydroxyapatite (CHA) as the graft. AO plates and locking screws were used to fix the vertebral body. Results All the patients got satisfactory reduction and good alignment through lysis of facet locking and CHA plug. Conclusion The posterior decompression combined with anterior stabilization can achieve satisfactory reduction and alignment for dislocation of inferior cervical vertebra.
