Abstract:Objective To report a case of traumatic complete anterior dislocation at the lumbosacral junction and the related literatures were reviewed to explore the clinical characteristics, mechanism and treatment strategy of this pattern injury.Methods The clinical data of a 52-year-old woman with traumatic complete anterior dislocation at the lumbosacral junction were retrospectively analyzed. The literatures about traumatic complete anterior dislocation at the lumbosacral junction before January 2019 were searched in CNKI, Weipu, Wanfang and PubMed database by using “创伤性腰骶椎完全性脱位” “创伤性腰骶椎完全滑脱” and “traumatic complete lumbosacral dislocation”, “traumatic lumbosacral spondyloptosis” as key words. A total of 10 English literatures on 10 cases of lumbar 5 vertebral traumatic complete anterior dislocation were included. The clinical features, imaging features, cases of this pattern injury, treatment and clinical prognosis of 10 cases in literatures and 1 case in this paper were summarized and analysed.Results A case of adult female with complete anterior lumbar dislocation and nerve injury due to traffic accident was reported. Simple posterior decompression, reduction and interbody fusion operation were performed. The lumbosacral dislocation was reduced completely after operation. At the follow-up of 6 months after surgery, no loss of reduction and internal fixator were found, and the neurological function of the patients was nearly normal. Eleven cases of traumatic complete anterior dislocation at the lumbosacral junction were involved, including 1 case in this paper and 10 cases reported.There were 9 males and 2 females, age ranged from 18 to 57 years old. Most of them were caused by high-energy violent injuries, which resulted in lumbosacral swelling, pain, activity limitation and neurological deficits. Radiologic imaging showed that the L5 displaced more than 100% anteriorly relative to the sacrum, and most of them were accompanied by posterior spine accessory structure destruction. Operative management consisted of early surgical decompression,reduction, instrumented spinal fusion to restore the stability of lumbosacral segment and improve the neurological function.Conclusions Traumatic complete anterior dislocation at the lumbosacral junction is a rare injury pattern. Its biomechanics is extremely unstable, and most of them are accompanied by neurological deficits. Its mechanism is still controversial. Early surgical decompression, reduction and fusion can improve the prognosis. Although specific surgical methods should be adopted according to specific conditions, posterior decompression, reduction, interbody fusion and internal fixation is a safe and effective method for complete traumatic anterior lumbosacral joint dislocation.
