Popis: Of fifty-nine consecutive cases with fractures of fracture-dislocations of the thoraco-lumbar spin e who were operated on within a month after the injuries, there were five cases (six per cent) with injuries of lower lumbar region from 1979 to 1983. These cases were consisted of one flexion-distraction fracture-dislocation, three burst fractures and one traumatic spondylolisthesis. They were operated by the method of one staged anterior-posterior reduction, decompression and fusion except one case. Another one old traumatics pondylolisthesis was operated by the same manner. All cases received anterior decompression and fusion showed good neurological recovery. No cases complained of pain in the back or legs. We stressed that the disc of lumbosacral junction should not 4e fused by bone graft except for cases with injuries in that region.
