Neurosurgical treatment of cervical spine injuries

CONCLUSION: Cervical spine injuries should be treated in a trauma centre with extensive expertise in spine surgery. The immobilisation and gentle transportation is important already at the scene of the accident. Nowadays, there are excellent surgical options and strategies available as well as excellent intensive care therapy. These possibilities lead to rapid and good stabilisation of cervical spine injuries and the posttraumatic morbidity and mortality can be reduced significantly especially in elderly patients.PMID:34244812 | DOI:10.1007/s00117-021-00881-9
