    AbstractThe author has seen one case of complete fracture dislocation between the 8th and 9th thoracic vertebrae without paraplegia. An analysis of the lesion was made by tomodensitometry. It is concluded that the absence of a lesion of the spinal cord was due to an associated fracture of half of the posterior arch of the 8th thoracic vertebra. The treatment was based on conservative reduction and fixation by a halo cast. A review of the literature has shown only one similar case.
