The anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films (A and B) of a 34-year-old man sent to our hospital after an accidental fall show a T9–T10 fracture and dislocation, and the injury was confirmed by CT reconstruction (C).

The patient's ASIA sensory score was 173, and his motor score was 67. We performed transforaminal decompression and interbody fusion on him. The anteroposterior and lateral X-ray films (D and E) at 3 months postoperation show the internal instruments placed in a good position. Intervertebral bony fusion between T9–T10 was observed on the CT images at 36 months postoperation (F). The patient's ASIA sensory score was 216, and his motor score was 96.
