Injuries Associated with Subdural Hematoma: A Study of the National Trauma Data Bank.

This study conveys an important clinical point: even though traditional teaching highlights the risk of noncontiguous spine fractures in patients with a known spine fracture, the risk of a noncontiguous spine fracture is higher when dealing with a patient with SDH. This is underscored by the fact that mortality is higher for SDH patients with other associated injuries. PMID: 29714406 [PubMed - in process]
