Traumatic cervical radicular lesions are rare spinal injuries. Non-surgical reduction with halo traction is effective for Type A lesions, while Type B lesions require surgical intervention for optimal outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Isolated traumatic cervical radicular lesions are uncommon, representing 3% of spinal trauma neurological deficits.
  • These lesions can be monolateral (Type A) or associated with medullary damage (Type B), leading to complex syndromes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the characteristics and treatment outcomes of isolated traumatic cervical radicular lesions.
  • To differentiate between Type A (monolateral radicular) and Type B (myelo-radicular) lesions and their respective management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Classification of lesions based on neurological involvement (Type A vs. Type B).
  • Review of treatment approaches including non-surgical (halo traction, halo plaster) and surgical interventions.
  • Analysis of injury mechanisms: flexion/rotation for Type A, hyperextension-rotation for Type B.

Main Results:

  • Non-surgical reduction with halo traction followed by halo plaster yields good results for Type A lesions, even with imperfect anatomical reduction.
  • Surgical treatment is reserved for Type A lesions irreducible by non-surgical means.
  • Type B lesions necessitate surgical reduction via a posterior approach with fixation and radicular release.

Conclusions:

  • Type A cervical radicular lesions can be effectively managed non-surgically.
  • Type B myelo-radicular lesions require surgical intervention for successful treatment.
  • Understanding injury mechanisms guides appropriate therapeutic strategies for cervical radicular trauma.
