    Las luxofracturas son poco frecuentes, pero revisten mucha importancia a la hora de considerar el diagnóstico, el tratamiento y las posibles secuelas. Presentamos una revisión bibliográfica sobre luxofracturas cervicales en niños y el caso de una niña de 10 años que sufrió una luxofractura de C3-C4. La paciente fue sometida a una reducción abierta y una artrodesis de C3-C4, y controlada durante 2 años.

    Fracture-dislocations are a rare presentation, but their knowledge is critical in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and potential seque-lae. We report a literature review on cervical spine fracture-dislocations in children and a case of a 10-year-old girl who sustained a C3-C4 fracture-dislocation. The patient underwent open reduction and arthrodesis at C3-C4, and a 2-year follow-up.
