Definition

Garden 1 / 2

Algorithm

ORIF

- ~ 15% displacement rate with non operative management

- increased risk of non union

- reduced hospital in patient stays

Options

Cannulated screws

DHS + derotation screw

3 cannulated screws

Epidemiology

Most common pattern cord injury

Hyper-extension injury in middle aged man with osteoarthritic spine

Usually C3/4 and C4/5

Mechanism

Most common type / in older patient with pre-existing spondylosis / OPLL

- hyperextension injury

- compression of the cord

- anteriorly by osteophytes

- posteriorly by infolded ligamentum flavum

Issues

Femur

Multiplanar deformity

- worsend by previous surgery

- may require osteotomy

Acetabulum

Dysplasia often present

- not as severe as in DDH

LLD

Can be significant

Abductors

Have been short for long time

- difficult to restore length
