A misdiagnosed lumbosacral dislocation caused posttraumatic scoliosis in a teenage boy. Surgical correction of the dislocation fully resolved the scoliosis, with no recurrence at 5-year follow-up.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Spinal Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Posttraumatic scoliosis can arise from spinal injuries.
  • Misdiagnosis of underlying conditions like lumbosacral dislocation can complicate treatment.
  • Early identification and management are crucial for spinal deformities.

Observation:

  • A 15-year-old male presented with posttraumatic scoliosis 6 weeks after a traffic injury.
  • Initial radiographs were normal, but later assessment revealed a misdiagnosed lumbosacral unilateral dislocation.
  • The scoliosis measured 30 degrees (Cobb angle T10-L4) with vertebral rotation.

Findings:

  • Surgical correction of the lumbosacral dislocation led to complete resolution of the scoliosis.
  • At 5-year follow-up, the patient had no signs of scoliosis and returned to normal activities.

  • The case suggests a physiopathology similar to spondylolisthetic scoliosis, involving vertebral displacement and rotation.

    • Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of spinal trauma, including subtle dislocations, is critical for preventing secondary deformities like scoliosis.
    • Correction of the primary spinal instability (lumbosacral dislocation) is key to treating associated structural scoliosis.
    • This case highlights the importance of thorough radiographical assessment and follow-up in pediatric trauma patients.
