Abstract

In comparison to upper cervical and thoraco-lumbar regions, injury to the lower cervical spine (subaxial, C3–C7) is more likely to be associated with spinal cord injury. This makes this a region of special interest in the context of trauma. A sound understanding of the different injury patterns, morphology, mechanisms, neurological deficit and patient-specific factors is essential in individualizing management strategies. In this article we review the anatomy, clinical patterns of injury, and the options in their clinical management.

成人下颈椎（轴下或 C3-C7）外伤

期刊介绍： Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
