Abstract
The subaxial cervical facet dislocation is an important and common cause of cervical spinal cord injury, which often leads to the destruction of the three column structure of the cervical spine. At present, the treatment principle of the subaxial cervical facet dislocation is generally reduction as soon as possible, complete decompression, restoration of the intervertebral height and the normal sequence of the cervical spine and reconstruction of the stability of the cervical spine. Early reduction is particularly important for patients with spinal cord injury. Although there are many ways of reduction, the best way to achieve reduction and stability is still controversial. The authors review related literatures and summarize the reduction methods of the subaxial cervical facet dislocation, so as to provide reference for the clinical treatment of the subaxial cervical facet dislocation.
