- A traumatic spinal fracture (TSF) affects patients significantly, with common causes linked to motor vehicle accidents, particularly in young males.
- A study at a Level 1 trauma center in Riyadh reviewed cases from 2001 to 2016, finding neurological disabilities in 6.7% of patients, with cervical spine injuries contributing notably to mortality.
- The findings suggest a need for improved documentation on seatbelt use to enhance injury prevention efforts, though the results may not be applicable to other settings due to the study's limitations.
