title: Unilateral facet dislocation: always reduce?
abstract: A unilateral facet dislocation noted in a 17-year-old boy after an axial cervical trauma proved to be an incidentally encountered preexisting lesion, most likely originating from a forceps delivery at birth. The surgical treatment initially considered was converted to a conservative approach, with full clinical recovery.
