  • Title: Unilateral lumbosacral facet joint dislocation associated with vertical shear sacral fracture.
    Author: Ebraheim NA, Savolaine ER, Shapiro P, Houston T, Jackson WT.
    Journal: J Orthop Trauma; 1991; 5(4):498-503. PubMed ID: 1762015.
    Abstract:
    An 18-year-old woman involved in a motor vehicle accident sustained a vertical shear fracture of the sacrum accompanied by unilateral dislocation of the L5-S1 joint. Evaluation of the patient's injuries was defined by computed axial tomography. Through a posterior midline incision, open reductions of the dislocated L5-S1 joint and of the sacral fracture were performed. Reduction was followed by anterior stabilization of the symphysis pubis. The patient remained neurologically intact after surgery.
