| Popis: | Traumatic thoracic spondyloptosis represents a rare but potentially catastrophic spinal injury pattern. We present a unique case of a 37-year-old male who suffered a high-thoracic retroloptosis with resultant complete spinal cord injury following a motor vehicle accident. We describe a novel and effective method of open reduction utilising horizontally oriented temporary rods facilitating controlled, sequential sagittal distraction and unlocking, reversal of anteroposterior shear and restoration of alignment. Using our technique, successful reduction and realignment was achieved. |
