Article Synopsis
- The high cervical spine is vital for survival, protecting key neurovascular structures and facilitating head movement, making injuries, particularly to the C2 vertebra, a common concern.
- The two main types of C2 fractures are odontoid fractures, which can often be treated conservatively or with anterior screw fixation and fusion if needed, and Hangman's fractures, which may require surgery depending on their type and stability.
- The review emphasizes that there's no clear superiority of surgical approaches (anterior vs. posterior) for fracture treatment, and decisions should be made based on individual patient circumstances.
