Cases presenting without any neurological deficit can be difficult to diagnose and manage. Case Presentation: We reported a four-week spondyloptosis of the ninth thoracic vertebra over the tenth thoracic vertebra, in a 20-yearold male without any neurological deficit. The patient had associated chest injuries. The spine injury was managed surgically with insitu posterior instrumentation and fusion. The patient tolerated the operation well and postoperatively there was no neurological deterioration or surgical complication. Conclusions: Patients presenting with spondyloptosis with no neurological deficit can be managed with in-situ fusion via pedicle screws, especially when presenting late and with minimal kyphosis. https://www.traumamon.com/article_99971_44321534f26471f890720b25016c2b41.pdf
