Case Reports[Complete fracture-dislocation of thoracic vertebrae 8 and 9 without neurological complications. Description of the injury. Therapeutic deductions].
The author has seen one case of complete fracture dislocation between the 8th and 9th thoracic vertebrae without paraplegia. An analysis of the lesion was made by tomodensitometry. ⋯ The treatment was based on conservative reduction and fixation by a halo cast. A review of the literature has shown only one similar case.
