Fracture-Dislocation of the Upper Thoracic Spine without Neurologic Associated Injury: Two Cases Report

Fracture-dislocation of the thoracic spine without neurological lesion.

An 18-year-old man with a fracture-dislocation of the thoracic spine showed remarkable displacement, but without neurologic complications. The halo-femoral traction allowed a reduction, which has been only partially maintained. Despite this, the clinical result is satisfactory. The lesion appears to be more common than the few cases published in the literature would suggest.

Surgical Treatment for Significant Fracture-dislocation of the Thoracic or Lumbar Spine without Neurologic Deficit: A Case Series

However, cases of fracture-dislocation of the thoracic or lumbar spine without neurologic deficits are rarely reported in the literature, and the choice of the treatment has been controversial. CASE REPORT Two female patients, aged 27 and 35 years, were ...

Fracture-dislocation of the lumbo-sacral spine with cauda equina lesion. Report of two cases.

Treatment for Lateral Flexion Fracture Dislocation of the Cervical Spine: Report of Two Cases

The injury mechanism of traumatic cervical spine injury varies, and Allen et al. divide cervical spine injuries into 6 types based on the direction of external force at the time of injury. In this report, we present 2 cases as Lateral Flexion Stage 2. A 51-year-old male (Case 1) was injured in a traffic accident. His conscious level was JCS III-200, and he was found to have a Frankel Grade of B...

Axillary Artery Injury Associated with Proximal Humerus Fracture: A Report of 6 Cases

 Proximal humerus fractures are common, but associated injury of the axillary artery is uncommon. The majority of published blunt traumatic axillary artery injuries are associated with anterior glenohumeral dislocation; a few are associated with isolated proximal humerus fractures or fracture-dislocation. Experience within our institution demonstrates that axillary artery injury is often unreco...
