Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Spinal Fusion
Traumatology

Background:

Traumatic sacrolisthesis is a rare spinal injury.
Neurologic deficits can accompany sacrolisthesis.
Surgical intervention is often necessary for spinal stability.

Observation:

A 13-year-old patient presented with traumatic sacrolisthesis at the S1-S2 level.
The patient experienced associated neurologic damage.
Initial treatment involved traction to reduce the S1 dislocation.

Findings:

Posterior arthrodesis using the Luque technique was performed.
The surgical procedure achieved good spinal stability.
The patient demonstrated marked orthopedic and neurologic improvement post-surgery.

Implications:

Luque posterior arthrodesis is a viable surgical option for traumatic sacrolisthesis.
Early intervention can lead to positive patient outcomes.
This case highlights successful management of pediatric spinal trauma.
