Aim. The aim of the study was to review the literature on the prevalence of cervical spine injuries divided between the level of the injury and the causes of fractures. Material and methods. A review of Polish and foreign literature was performed. The following databases were searched: PubMed, Medline, Science Direct, Termedia, and Polish Medical Bibliography. Literature analysis. In Poland the incidence of spinal injuries, including damage to the cord, is estimated at the level of 25-35 persons per one million of the population, half of these being cervical spine injuries. More than one in three of all spinal injuries affect the atlantoaxial and occipital area. It is estimated that axis fractures occur in up to 40% of the cases involving cervical spine injury. Odontoid fractures constitute 10-15% of all cervical spine fractures. Hangman fractures account for 20% of vertebral fractures. Cervical spine injuries more frequently occur in males than in females, and the relevant rates for males are ...

Traumatic injuries of the upper cervical spine are often encountered, and may be associated to severe neurological outcome. This is a retrospective study of 70 patients, admitted over a 14 years period (1996 to 2010), for management of upper cervical spine injuries. Data concerning epidemiology, radiopathology and treatment was reviewed, and clinical and radiological evaluation was conducted. Men are more affected than women, with traffic accidents being the major traumatic cause. A cervical spine syndrome of varied intensity was found in about 90% of patients; neurological deficit was noted in 10 patients (21%). Radiological analysis discovered varied and many combined lesions: C1-C2 dislocation (7 cases), C2-C3 dislocation (9 cases), C1 fracture (10 cases) and C2 fracture (44 cases) including 28 odontoid fractures. Orthopedic treatment was carried out exclusively for 31 patients, and surgical treatment for 38 patients. One patient died before surgery because of a polytraumatisme. Posterior approach

Y1 - 2018/10/1. N2 - Introduction: Prompt recognition of cervical spine injuries may limit spinal cord damage. This prospective audit assessed the time needed to formally confirm the status of cervical spine using a computed tomography scan, the reasons for any delays, and the subsequent outcomes. Methodology: Prospective audit analysed the data of 100 consecutive unconscious trauma patients, admitted over a seven-month period, to ascertain whether there was a weekend effect in validating the cervical spine status radiologically, and whether the delays were associated with an increased risk of pneumonia and other complications. The sensitivity and specificity of using bony fractures and mal-alignment on the computed tomography scans to diagnose cervical spine injuries were calculated. Results: Significant ...

The goals of the NEXUS Low-Risk Criteria and Canadian Cervical Spine Rule are to identify trauma patients with low probabilities of cervical spine injury, thereby sparing them unnecessary cervical spine imaging.2,8,9,12 To meet the NEXUS criteria, a patient must have the following: no tenderness at the posterior midline of the cervical spine, no focal neurologic deficit, normal level of alertness, no evidence of intoxication, and no clinically apparent painful injury that might distract him or her from the pain of a cervical spine injury.8 The Canadian Cervical Spine Rule uses 3 high-risk criteria (age 65 years or older, dangerous mechanism, paresthesias in extremities), 5 low-risk criteria (simple rear-end motor vehicle crash, sitting position in the emergency department, ambulatory at any time, delayed onset of neck pain, absence of midline C-spine tenderness), and the ability of patients to actively rotate their necks, to determine the need for cervical spine radiography.9 Both the NEXUS ...

Context The Thoracolumbar Injury Classification Program (TLICS) has been described to greatly help doctors in the decision-making procedure for thoracolumbar spinal trauma. and with AO type A accidents are treated. AO type B and C accidents surgically are maintained, in regards to to neurological position. Sufferers with cauda equina or incomplete accidents received an increased intensity rating also. Controversies remain regarding the administration of unpredictable burst fractures without neurological position. The role from the posterior ligamentous complicated position as well as the magnetic resonance imaging in the decision-making procedure require more clinical evidence. stated that the ligamentous structures in AO type A fractures, compression and burst fractures, are intact. However, the literature widely defines burst fractures wherein the posterior ligamentous structures are thought to be injured (i.e. unstable burst fractures).4 For our study, we assume that type A injuries can have ...

If youre a weekend warrior, then aches and pains are a normal part of your life. But as our cervical spine specialist in NJ can tell you, theres a big difference between the pain that comes from a bit more exertion than what youre used to, and the type that comes from a serious injury. Even as more and more people get involved in sports ranging from extreme to backyard games of tackle football, the number of spine injuries being incurred is going down - this is largely a result of improved safety measures. Still, roughly one out of every ten spine injuries are a direct result of some type of athletic endeavor, and many of them involve the neck.. Spinal cord injuries that involve the neck are referred to as cervical spine injuries. During cold weather they happen most frequently to high school and college football players, and during the summer they happen when people dive into shallow water. In both cases the bones in the neck can fracture or shift after trauma. This shift then puts ...

Based on studies with modest methodologic quality and 1 direct comparison, the Canadian C-spine rule appears to have better diagnostic accuracy than the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study (NEXUS) criteria when used to assess the need for cervical spine imaging, say authors of a systematic review published in CMAJ. Future studies need to follow rigorous methodologic procedures to ensure that the findings are as free of bias as possible, they add. For this review, the authors identified studies by an electronic search of CINAHL, Embase, and MEDLINE. They included articles that reported on a cohort of patients who experienced blunt trauma and for whom clinically important cervical spine injury detectable by diagnostic imaging was the differential diagnosis, evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of the Canadian C-spine rule or NEXUS or both, and used an adequate reference standard. They assessed the methodologic quality using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies ...

ASIA score is developed by American Spinal Injury Association for essential minimal elements of neurologic assessment for patients with spinal injury.

This chapter, found in the back pain section of the book, provides a succinct synopsis of a key study validating the Canadian C-spine rule for imaging the cervical spine in alert and stable trauma patients. This summary outlines the study methodology and design, major results, limitations and criticisms, related studies and additional information, and clinical implications. The study shows that the Canadian C-Spine Rule may be able to identify a large group of alert and stable adult trauma patients for whom cervical spine imaging is unnecessary. It may also help to standardize the appropriate use of cervical spine imaging in the emergency department. In addition to outlining the most salient features of the study, a clinical vignette and imaging example are included in order to provide relevant clinical context.

His sister Karen Brazil said her brother was screaming in agony when he was first injured, and an ambulance was called straight away.. He was rushed to St James Hospital as it was the closest emergency department.. The paramedics knew it was a spinal injury, they put his neck in a frame and put him on a board straight away.. But they had to take him to the nearest hospital and St James doesnt specialise in spinal injuries.. Paul went to play the match at around 10.30 am and he had already seen by a doctor at St James by around 11.30 am. The doctor realised how bad the injury was when he examined my brother.. The doctor said Paul needed to go to orthopedics at the Mater Hospital, as it has a spinal cord unit and this was a spinal injury.. We were told it would be a day or two, it wouldnt be long at all for Paul to be transferred because it was a bad injury and they (the medics) needed to get it sorted straight away..

This paper is Part I of a 2-part series to describe the background and methodology for the Canadian C-Spine Rule study to develop a clinical decision rule for rational imaging in alert and stable trauma patients. Current use of radiography is inefficient and variable, in part because there has been a lack of evidence-based guidelines to assist emergency physicians. Clinical decision rules are research-based decision-making tools that incorporate 3 or more variables from the history, physical examination or simple tests. The Canadian CT Head and C-Spine (CCC) Study is a large collaborative effort to develop clinical decision rules for the use of CT head in minor head injury and for the use of cervical spine radiography in alert and stable trauma victims. Part I details the background and rationale for the development of the Canadian C-Spine Rule. Part II will describe in detail the objectives and methods of the Canadian C-Spine Rule study. ...

A disproportionate number of Nepalese suffer head and spine injuries resulting from falls. Accidents occur with unreported regularity among the population, with porters slipping off precipitous trails, and women and children in particular injured while collecting tree fodder or following livestock into cliffsides.. Over the last decade, there has been a sharp rise in spinal trauma from highway accidents. Injuries are also on the rise from construction and industrial activity, from public and domestic violence, as well as with the increase in adventure sports.. In a country with poor public health and medical services for the population at large, spinal injury victims have little access to care and their families do what they can to cope in villages and accident sites. The evacuation of victims, when it does take place, is usually a long and jolting transport to hospital, which tends to add to the damage already done to the spine. ...

Use of the Canadian C-Spine Rule by nurses was accurate, reliable and clinically acceptable. Widespread implementation by nurses throughout Canada and elsewhere would diminish patient discomfort and improve patient flow in overcrowded emergency departments.

This review presents considerations regarding major cervical spine injury, including some concepts that are presently undergoing evaluation and clarification. Correlation of certain biomechanical parameters and clinical factors associated with the causation and occurrence of traumatic cervical spine injuries assists in clarifying the pathogenesis and treatment of this diverse group of injuries. Instability of the cervical column based on clinical and mechanistic perspectives as well as the role of ligaments in determining instability is discussed. Patient variables such as pre-existing conditions (degenerative disease) and age that can influence the susceptibility or resistance to injury are reviewed. Radiological considerations of major injuries including dynamic films, CT and MRI are presented in the diagnosis and treatment of cervical trauma. Specific injury patterns of the cervical vertebral column are described including attention to the relative mechanisms of trauma. From a biomechanical ...

By Richard H. Adler, Attorney at Law. The May 2002 edition of Emergency Radiology published The Use of Flexion and Extension MR in the Evaluation of Cervical Spine Trauma: Initial Experience in 100 Trauma Patients Compared with 100 Normal Subjects. Emergency Radiology (2002) 9: 249-253. These ER radiologists noted that cervical spine trauma is common following rapid acceleration-deceleration, even during low-impact car collisions. However, flexion and extension x-rays, the typical imaging method initially employed in most clinical situations, is of very limited use poor utility in the evaluation of cervical spine structures such as tissues, discs, and ligaments.. The purpose of the study was to determine the value and utility of flexion and extension MR imaging in traumatized cervical spines following rear-end low-impact acceleration-deceleration injury motor vehicle collisions. 100 sub-acute injured patients were compared to age-matched normal subjects utilizing a rapid flexion and extension ...

Spinal protection precautions include spinal boards for transfer, prolonged nursing in a supine position on a firm mattress, the application of cervical collars, lateral restraints, head tapes, and surgical stabilisation of identified injuries as indicated. The benefit conferred by routine application of some of these elements, particularly spinal boards and cervical collars has been questioned. Most neck injuries involve the C6-7 region and since emergency collars only extend down to the level of C7, these collars may not afford any direct protection. In fact they have the potential to add to the stresses on the damaged segment. By immobilising the upper cervical spine the collar will create a long lever which transfers the forces generated by head movements directly to the injured area of the neck. Long spinal boards are an aid for extrication and not spinal immobilisation and should be removed on initial assessment. Many in-hospital practitioners may not be aware of the risks a patient is ...

Spinal injuries tend to be caused by auto accidents, falls, and sports injuries. The most common of these is the automobile accident. These accidents are responsible for thousands of spinal injuries every year. The most common spinal injuries associated with auto accidents include whiplash, paralysis, and vertebrae fractures.. While something like whiplash is usually considered a very minor injury, it can cause debilitating pain for years before it is under control. So regardless of how minor or severe the injury, anything that causes you pain and causes you to have to be responsible for medical expenses that you did not have a hand in causing is something that you should pursue the responsible party over. That way you can focus on your physical healing and not the financial aspect of the matter.. ...

At the Mount Sinai Health System, we give all patients with spinal trauma a thorough physical examination, including all organ systems by a multidisciplinary team of trauma specialists. We may also conduct imaging scans such as X-rays, a CT scan, or an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Our goal is to determine whether you have a complete or incomplete spinal cord injury.. We use this information to develop a treatment plan specific to your needs. If you are stable enough for spinal treatment, we will determine whether decompression, fusion, or bracing is appropriate. Decompression involves removing any bone, disc, or a blood clot that is pushing on a nerve or the spinal cord. Fusion includes stabilizing the bones of your spine (vertebrae) that are structurally weak or have too much abnormal motion. Usually, we implant titanium rods and screws into your back. We can do either of these procedures through traditional open surgery or a minimally invasive procedure.. Another option is bracing, ...

The cervical spine is most commonly injured, accounting for 53.4% of spinal injuries. More than 40% of all spinal injuries occur at either C4, C5 or C6 levels leading to variable loss of function in the upper extremities.. Traditionally, patients sustaining a cervical spine injury were followed for 2 years to ensure that recovery had stabilized before offering upper extremity reconstruction. This type of reconstruction includes active muscle transfer, tendon transfer and joint fusion.. Patients are most commonly assessed immediately at the time of injury. Muscle testing is commonly performed using Medical Research Grading System (MRC).. Although complete neurologic stabilization may not be complete until 2 years post-injury, in the group with initial grade 0 muscle strength after the acute phase of injury, expectations of improved muscle strength to or beyond grade 3 after 4-6 months is minimal. And grade 3 muscle strength is felt to be the minimum useful functional strength in a muscle ...

Breakthrough in Spinal Injury Treatment Friday, 19 September 2008 Researchers in Rochester, N.Y., and Colorado have shown that manipulating stem cells prior to transplantation may hold the key to overcoming a critical obstacle to using stem cell technology to repair spinal cord injuries. Research from a team of scientists from the University of Rochester Medical Center and the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine, published today in the online Journal of Biology, may lead to improved spinal cord repair methods that pave the way for victims of paralysis to recover the use of their bodies without the risk of transplant-induced pain syndromes. The research focuses on a major support cell in the central nervous system called astrocytes. When nerve fibres are injured in the spinal cord, the severed ends of the nerve fibres fail to regenerate and reconnect with the nervous system circuitry beyond the site of the injury.
