ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics of the Acu te Traumatic Spondylolisthesis (ATS). Methods 7 cases of ATS treated from 1990 t o 2002 were analyzed retrospectively. One case with slight symptoms was treated without operation and others were treated with open reduction and internal fixat ion of the graft. The ages of the patients ranged from 13 to 57 years, with an a verage of 26.9 years. Results All patients were followed up for an average of 5 .2 years. By Henderson standard, the result was excellent in 6, and good in 1. C onclusions Compared with non-acute traumatic spondylolisthesis,ATS involves de finite trauma accompanied with soft tissue lesion and small articular fractures. There is no sclerosis manifestation in x-ray and CT. Isthmic fractures can alw ays be seen during operation. Operation is needed in most cases.
