Unilateral facet dislocation at the subaxial cervical spine (C3–7) in children younger than 8 years of age is rare. The authors describe a surgical approach for irreducible subaxial cervical unilateral facet dislocation (SCUFD) at C3–4 in a 5-year-old boy and present a literature review. A dorsal unilateral approach was applied, and a biodegradable plate was used for postreduction fixation without fusion after failed conservative treatment. There was complete resolution of symptoms and restored cervical stability. Two years after surgery, the patient had recovered range of motion in C3–4. In selected cases of cervical spine injury in young children, a biodegradable plate can maintain reduction until healing occurs, obviate the need to remove an implant, and recover the motion of the injured segment.

Abstract We report a case of brain abscess complicating the use of a halo orthosis in the treatment of a cervical spine injury suffered during wrestling. Four previous brain abscesses complicating the use of halo orthoses have been reported. All cases of abscess have been associated with overlying infection at the site of pin insertion. Our case and at least one of those previously reported may have been related to tightening of the halo pins after placement. Serious spine injuries occur rarely in wrestlers and are associated with the use of illegal holds and maneuvers in which one athlete is thrown to the mat. The pathophysiology and radiographic appearance of a unilateral facet dislocation are reviewed.
