Short-Term Outcomes Of Subaxial Cervical Injuries in Assiut University Trauma Center
In Brief
An observational study evaluating xrays and CT for Cervical Spinal Cord Injury. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The subaxial cervical spine consists of levels C3 through C7 and includes both the bony anatomy as well as the ligamentous anatomy. Injuries to the subaxial cervical spine can be bony, discoligamentous or a combination of both (1). Cervical spine trauma is common resulting from high energy trauma such as falling from height and motor vehicle accident (2). Devastating sequelae of subaxial cervical spine trauma include quadriplegia, functional loss, and permanent disability
