Yune, Lee, Lee, and Lee: The Reduction of Locked Facet on 12 th Thoracic Vertebra with Harrington Distraction Rods

Abstract

Many authers insisted that the fracture-dislocation of the vertebral column with locked facet, bilateral dislocation of articular facets which resistant to closed reduction, were necessary to posterior stabilization with anterior decompression. But using Harrington-Distraction rod, we experienced that the acceptable reduction of locked facet and posterior impinged bony fragments without anterior decompression, were obtained.
