Thoracic spine fracture-dislocation injuries are always associated with high-energy trauma and result in severe neurological symptoms. Surgical reconstruction and stabilization are essential for the early mobilization and rehabilitation of patients with this type of injury. Here, we present a unique case of a 57-year-old Greek male who sustained a posterolateral T3-T4 fracture-dislocation, with a complete spinal cord injury (SCI), after falling from a height. The patient was treated with surgical reduction and internal fixation with screws and rods, with satisfactory subsequent realignment.
胸椎骨折脱位损伤总是与高能量创伤相关,并导致严重的神经症状。手术重建和稳定对于这类损伤患者的早期活动和康复至关重要。在此,我们报告一例独特病例,一名57岁的希腊男性从高处坠落,导致胸3-胸4后外侧骨折脱位,并伴有完全性脊髓损伤(SCI)。该患者接受了手术复位并用螺钉和棒进行内固定治疗,随后获得了满意的复位。
