These typically traumatic lesions are exceedingly rare in the thoracic spine. Here, we present a patient with a unilateral jumped facet joint in the upper thoracic spine treated with open reduction and an instrumented fusion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Case Description:<\/jats:title>A 45-year-old male presented after a significant motor vehicle accident. In the emergency room, he had a Glasgow Coma Score of 13 without any neurologic deficit. The thoracic computed tomography (CT) showed a significant jumped left facet at the T2-T3 level. Two days later, utilizing intraoperative CT-guided navigation and neuromonitoring, he underwent open reduction of the T2-T3 jumped facet plus an instrumented T1-T5 fusion. X-rays taken 3-month postoperatively showed a stable construct. Six months postoperatively, he remained neurologically intact.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>A unilateral jumped thoracic facet may be present in patients with fractured ribs. The mechanism of injury is most likely axial rotation. Both CT and magnetic resonance imaging studies allow for early detection of these very rare lesions and warrant open reduction and instrumented fusion.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/sni_119_2020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,25]],"date-time":"2020-04-25T09:51:27Z","timestamp":1587808287000},"page":"77","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Traumatic unilateral jumped facet joint in the upper thoracic spine: Case presentation and literature review"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"David D.","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joaquin Q.","family":"Camara-Quintana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Owen P.","family":"Leary","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sohail","family":"Syed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adetokunbo A.","family":"Oyelese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Albert E.","family":"Telfeian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ziya L.","family":"Gokaslan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jared S.","family":"Fridley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tianyi","family":"Niu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_119_2020\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"917","DOI":"10.3928\/0147-7447-19971001-07","article-title":"Management of unilateral facet dislocations: A review of the literature","volume":"20","author":"Andreshak","year":"1997","journal-title":"Orthopedics"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_119_2020\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"590","DOI":"10.1097\/00007632-199105000-00022","article-title":"Unilateral jumped thoracic facet dislocation","volume":"16","author":"Berg","year":"1991","journal-title":"Spine (Phila Pa 1976)"},{"key":"10.25259\/SNI_119_2020\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1049","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199173070-00014","article-title":"Lateral distraction injuries to the thoracic and lumbar spine.
