COMPLETE DISLOCATION WITH A FRACTURE WITHOUT NEUROLOGIC DEFICIT IN THE UPPER LUMBAR VERTEBRAE
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 1999, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
Complete dislocations with fractures in the spine are the injuries in which the stability of the spine is severely damaged. İn fact, the integrity of three columns is generally disrupted and severe neurologic deficit occurs. This study tries to explain the mechanism of the sparing of neural elements in a case of fracture-dislocation with ptosis vvithout neurologic deficit.
