Abstract:
More than 100% of the traumatic subluxation of one vertebral body over another in the coronal or sagittal plane is known as traumatic spondyloptosis, which typically results in the contusion of the spinal cord. It is an uncommon yet severe spinal column injury. Here, we present traumatic lumbosacral spondyloptosis at the L5 and S1 levels with complete spinal cord compression with paraplegia and bowel and bladder involvement. The patient underwent posterior spinal fusion (delta fixation) and decompression. The patient improved his motor and sensory deficits at one-month follow-up. By the eighth-month follow-up, the patient had recovered entirely from his motor and sensory deficits and was stable for the entire year.
