Abstract:

Introduction The treatment of thoracic spine fracture�??dislocations is now well established with the recent progress in spine surgery. Although most affected individuals have a degree of spinal cord injury (SCI), early surgical reduction, and stabilization of the unstable deformity allow an immediate program of rehabilitation. Vertebrectomy is considered as the last surgical technique reserved for the most persistent spinal deformities that cannot be brought to an acceptable correction with less invasive methods. To our knowledge, surgical management of thoracic dislocation by acute complete vertebrectomy has only been reported two times in the literature. Aim of study To present the surgical steps, safety and efficacy of acute vertebrectomy in a thoracic spine dislocation due to high energy trauma in a young individual.
