Article Multidisciplinary Sciences

Classification of unilateral cervical locked facet with or without lateral mass-facet fractures and a retrospective observational study of 55 cases

Chao Tang et al.

Summary: This study introduces a morphology-based classification for unilateral cervical facet interlocking injuries, aiming to clarify the injury mechanism, radiological characteristics, and neurological deficits in different types of UCLF. The proposed classification system can aid in preoperative closed reduction assessment and guide surgical approach selection.

Anterior-Alone Surgical Treatment for Subaxial Cervical Spine Facet Dislocation: A Systematic Review

Wendy Lee et al.

Summary: The systematic review supports the efficacy and success of anterior reduction, fusion, and instrumentation for cervical facet fracture dislocation. It is safe from a neurological standpoint, with a low revision rate due to concurrent facet fracture. Some patients may require posteriorly based surgery or combined anterior and posterior procedures in specific cases.
