Article Synopsis
- Spondyloptosis is an extremely rare and severe type of cervical spine injury where one vertebra slips completely over another, making it difficult to manage due to its rarity and the serious condition of patients.
- The study aimed to analyze clinical and imaging findings, along with optimal management strategies, by reviewing 66 cases of traumatic cervical spondyloptosis sourced from various medical databases.
- The majority of the reviewed cases involved male patients, with road traffic accidents being the leading cause, and outcomes varied significantly, with some patients presenting no deficits and others facing severe impairments as indicated by the American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale.
