Summary

This study details a rare lumbosacral fracture dislocation in a lumberjack, caused by shear and hyperflexion. Treatment involved dorsoventral fusion with instrumentation due to the injury's instability.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Care
  • Spinal Biomechanics

Background:

  • "Lumberjack fractures" typically affect the thoracic and upper lumbar spine.
  • These injuries usually result from hyperextension and shear forces.
  • This case presents an atypical mechanism and location for this type of fracture.
