Abstract: | We report a case of traumatic L4/L5 spondylolisthesis caused by fall of heavy weight on the back of a construction worker.
CT scan showed dislocation of left L4/5 facet with fracture of right L5 facet. MRI showed ruptured intervertebral disc suggestive
of acute lesion. The patient was treated surgically 7 days after the injury and posterior L3/4/5 instrumentation with posterolateral
and posterior lumbar interbody fusion using mesh cage. At 18-month follow-up, reduction was maintained and solid fusion of
interbody and posterolateral grafts was achieved. |
