Background: Traumatic unilateral lumbosacral facet dislocations are rare injuries. The majority of cases are treated with open reduction and instrumented spinal fusions. Only less commonly can they be managed conservatively.
Case Description: A 7-year-old unrestrained passenger was involved in a high-speed motor vehicle accident. X-ray/magnetic resonance/computed tomography imaging documented a unilateral L5-S1 facet dislocation and multiple lumbar/sacral fractures. The patient underwent open reduction and temporary L5-pelvic instrumentation without fusion; the instrumentation was removed 10 weeks later at which point follow-up imaging showed preserved lumbosacral stability.
Conclusion: Open reduction with temporary instrumentation without fusion was successfully utilized to treat a unilateral L5-S1 facet dislocation in a 7-year-old child.

Objective: To examine the long-term perioperative changes in lumbar bone density, muscle size and fatty atrophy, and facet degeneration after transfemoral amputation (TFA).
Design: All patients who underwent TFA at an academic center between 2002-2022 were retrospectively identified. Patients were required to have preoperative and postoperative CT (>1 year) and regularly utilize a prosthesis.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of unilateral biportal endoscopic discectomy (UBED) and percutaneous interlaminar endoscopic discectomy (PIED) for treating L5/S1 disc herniation.
Methods: Patients with L5/S1 disc herniation treated with UBED (n = 46) and PIED (n = 50) in our hospital during the same period were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical outcome, radiographic parameters, and complications of each group were collected and evaluated.

Urge incontinence, often linked to prolapsed intervertebral disc (PIVD) due to nerve compression, involves sudden, involuntary urine leakage. Management includes behavioral therapy, bladder training, and pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) to strengthen pelvic muscles and regulate voiding, effectively reducing symptoms and improving quality of life. A 40-year-old female patient presented with chief complaints of lower back pain radiating down the right lower limb below the knee, accompanied by a right-sided listing.

Background: Achieving optimal immediate stability is crucial in lumbar fusion surgeries. Traditionally, four pedicle screws have been utilized to provide posterior stability at the L5-S1 level. However, the use of bilateral transfacet pedicle screws (TFPS) as an alternative construct has shown promising results in terms of biomechanical stability.
