Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Bilateral cervical facet dislocations (BCFD) are rare but can preserve neurological function. Concurrent laminar fractures may lead to auto-decompression, protecting the spinal cord in these uncommon spinal injuries.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Neurosurgery
Spinal Trauma

Background:

Bilateral cervical facet dislocation (BCFD) is an uncommon spinal injury.

Keywords:

Cervical spine auto-decompression bilateral cervical facet dislocation ground level fall spinal cord injury spinal trauma
