Unilateral Cervical Facet Fractures: Relevance of Acute Disc Injury in Conservative Treatment Failure.

Study Design: Case-control study.

Purpose: Analyze association between imaging factors related to the failure of conservative treatment in isolated subaxial cervical facet fractures.

Overview Of Literature: Facet fracture (F1, F2, and F3 AOSpine) may be stable or unstable depending on clinical and imaging variables, which are not well established.

Hyperextension-distraction fractures in ankylosing and spondylotic spines: injury profile and treatment results.

Study Design: Case series study.

Purpose: To describe demographic metrics, and clinical and radiographical outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with ankylosed spine (ASP) such as diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) or ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and non-ankylosed spines (NAS) suffering from hyperextension-distraction spine fractures.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with hyperextension-distraction fractures between 2012 and 2020 were identified.
