title: [Percutaneous stabilization of traumatic spondylolisthesis in a child].
abstract: A 12-year-old boy suffered a rare occurrence of a traumatic spondylolisthesis (L5/S1) without neurological alterations after being partially buried underneath a collapsing brick wall. Additionally he sustained a third degree open fracture of the left distal fibula and epiphysiolysis of the left distal tibia. A closed reduction and percutanous dorsal instrumentation L5/S1 as well as an open reduction and osteosynthesis of the tibia and fibula were performed. After 6 months the instrumentation was completely removed and an unrestrained range of motion of the lumbar spine and the upper ankle joint was regained.
