Abstract
Introduction
Spodyloptosis is a quite difficult situation to be confronted with. All it is solutions are very challenging ranging from non-anatomical insitu fusion to hard and hazardous anatomical reorientation.
Material and Methods
Male patient 25 years old with spodyloptosis of L5 vertebral body was treated all from posterior by disc exaction, nerve release, reduction and fixed with transpedicular screws augmented by S2 iliac screws.
Results
Reasonable reduction of L5 over S1 was achieved from the posterior aspect and realignment of the spine with good fixation.
Conclusion
Still reduction of spodyloptosis from posterior is ideal option in treatment with attention for the neural tissues and good release and fixation.
