Abstract:[Objective] To evaluate the clinical outcomes of anterior surgical procedures, involving reduction, decompression and in- strumented fusion under flexion traction for cervical fracture and dislocation accompanied with locked facets. [Methods] From January 2015 to January 2019, 45 patients, including 33 males and 12 females aged from 29 to 64 years with a mean of (48.6±7.2) years, underwent anterior surgical procedures, involving reduction, decompression and instrumented fusion under flexion traction for cervical fracture and dislocation accompanied with locked facets. Clinical outcomes were assessed by using NDI and JOA scores, ASIA scale, as well as radio- graphs. [Results] All the 45 patients had the operations completed successfully, with facet reduction rate of 100.0% , operation time of (65.4±22.8) min, incision length of (6.1±0.9) cm, intraoperative blood loss of (290.9±90.0) ml. As time went during the follow-up period lasted for (2.7±1.1) years, the NDI and JOA scores, as well as ASIA grades improved significantly (P<0.05) . No patients showed any wors- ening of spinal cord injury during the follow-up period. Radiographically, the intervertebral height of the affected disc and the Cobb angle of cervical lordosis significantly improved postoperatively compared with those preoperatively (P<0.05) . No loosening, displacement or frac- ture of the internal implant was found in anyone of them until the latest follow up. [Conclusion] The anterior surgical procedures, involving reduction, decompression and instrumented fusion, under flexion traction do effectively treat the lower cervical fracture and dislocation ac- companied with locked facets.
