Traumatic lumbosacral dislocation is rare and challenging to diagnose. Surgical treatment involving open reduction and spinal fusion can restore stability and function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Spinal Trauma
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Traumatic lumbosacral dislocation is an uncommon spinal injury.
  • It presents diagnostic challenges and is typically managed with open reduction and internal fixation.
  • This condition often results from high-energy trauma and may involve associated injuries.

Observation:

  • A retrospective study reviewed two patients with traumatic lumbosacral dislocation.
  • One patient was initially misdiagnosed, experiencing delayed treatment and progressive pain.
  • The other patient had a spontaneous reduction but significant ligamentous disruption.

Findings:

  • Patient 1 underwent successful open reduction and spinal arthrodesis for a Grade 4 spondylolisthesis.
  • Patient 2 received a combined anterior-posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation for unilateral facet dislocation.

  • Both patients achieved favorable outcomes with surgical intervention.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis requires meticulous clinical examination and advanced imaging (CT, MRI).
    • Open reduction and circumferential bony fusion are effective for restoring segmental stability.
    • Prompt and accurate diagnosis followed by appropriate surgical management is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
