Abstract | This article describes the anatomy of the cervical spine and the most common types of fractures associated with the cervical spine. Cervical spinal cord syndromes are also reviewed because such syndromes discovered during neurologic examinations frequently provide the first clue that there is an underlying spinal cord injury. Because most associated maxillofacial and spinal injuries occur in the setting of motor vehicle accidents, it is particularly important for the maxillofacial surgeon to be cognizant of the injuries, particularly in the context of the need for facial/cranial surgery. Appropriate measures are necessary to immobilize or fixate the spine before surgery to avoid exacerbating the spinal injury. |
