Abstract

Background: Fracture-dislocations of the thoracic spine without spinal cord injury are very rare. Case presentation: A 35-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with complete T6-7 fracturedislocation without any neurological loss had undergone a surgical reduction and fixation. Conclusions: The radiological severity of fracture-dislocation pattern doesn't correlate sometimes with the clinical manifestation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
