UNLABELLED SUBAXIAL CERVICAL FACET DISLOCATION INJURIES: STANDARDS There is insufficient evidence to recommend treatment standards. GUIDELINES There is insufficient evidence to recommend treatment guidelines. OPTIONS Closed or open reduction of subaxial cervical facet dislocation injuries is recommended. Treatment of subaxial cervical facet dislocation injuries with rigid external immobilization, anterior arthrodesis with plate fixation, or posterior arthrodesis with plate or rod or interlaminar clamp fixation is recommended. Treatment of subaxial cervical facet dislocation injuries with prolonged bedrest in traction is recommended if more contemporary treatment options are not available.
