| Abstract: | Unilateral dislocation at the lumbosacral junction is a rare injury associated with severe hyperflexion and rotation of the
lumbar spine. Plain film findings suggesting facet dislocation are usually confirmed with computed tomography. Most surgeons
advocate early open reduction, internal fixation, and fusion. |
