Bilateral Jumped Thoracic Facets Dislocation: A Case Report
Abstract
-
Bilateral jumped facets dislocation in upper thoracic spine is rare injury because the thoracic spine is relatively immobile structure. We experienced a case of T2-3 dislocation without fracture and successfully reduced the dislocation after partial resection of the superior articular process of the third thoracic spine and performed fixation and fusion from T1 to T4 with pedicle screw system.
