    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Neurosurgery
    • Emergency Medicine

    Background:

    • Cervical injuries present a significant challenge in emergency medicine.
    • Accurate diagnosis and timely management are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review clinical presentations and management of cervical injuries.
    • To analyze the incidence of bony versus cord injuries in cervical trauma.
    • To characterize the types of spinal cord injuries (partial vs. complete).

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 91 patients with cervical injuries.
    • Data collected from Geisinger Medical Center Emergency Department records.
    • Analysis of injury types (bony vs. cord) and cord injury severity.

    Main Results:

    • Most of the 91 patients had bony cervical injuries without spinal cord involvement.
    • Out of 43 patients with cord injuries, 56% sustained partial cord injuries.
    • The remaining 44% of patients with cord injuries had complete cord injuries.

    Conclusions:

    • Cervical bony injuries are more prevalent than spinal cord injuries in this cohort.
    • Partial cord injuries are more frequent than complete cord injuries when spinal cord involvement occurs.
    • Clinical presentation review aids in understanding and managing cervical trauma.
