Abstract
This article reports on the case of a rare combination injury of a C3 pelvic ring fracture (Malgaigne's fracture) and simultaneous unstable traumatic spondylolisthesis (Meyerding grade 2) of the lumbosacral spine. The patient had pronounced neurological deficits of the lower extremities and tearing of the thecal sac. The selected primary and secondary surgical treatment algorithm of the polytraumatized patient as well as the course are described and critically discussed on the basis of the sparsely available literature.
