In Vietnam there hasn’t been a lot of research on lower cervical facet dislocation. The choice of surgical approach in the treatment of traumatic lower cervical facet dislocation is highly variable and maybe influenced by a variety of factor. However, the effectiveness of the methods has not yet been fully evaluated. Method: Evaluate the treatment outcomes of 44 patients are diagnosed lower cervical facet dislocation without paralysis, incomplete paralysis at the Viet Duc University Hospital from 15/03/2016 to 15/03/2017.
