36 Spine Trauma Injury Patterns and Management
37 Spine Injury Management Management Principles Goals of treatment Maximize neurologic recovery Prevent decline and deformities (i.e. stabilize spine) Maximize pain relief Instability Mechanical Neurologic Both Mechanical and Neurologic
38 Pre-hospital and Emergency Room Care
39 Non-Operative Treatment Immobilization Collars and Braces
40 Non-Operative Treatment Immobilization Collars and Braces
41 Non-Operative Treatment Immobilization Halo Vest
42 Operative Treatment Surgical Approach Posterior (Dorsal) Anterior (Ventral) Combined
43 Operative Treatment Factors affecting Surgical Approach Column(s) disrupted Site of neural compression Upper cervical vs subaxial Spinal deformity Degree of spinal instability
44 Operative Treatment The Role of Instrumentation Instrumentation provides for maturation of fusion
45 Common Injury Patterns and Management
46 Atlanto-Occipital Dislocation Occipito-Cervical Fusion
47 Jefferson (C1) Fracture Axial load injury Jefferson G, Br J Surg, 7:407, 1920.
48 Atlanto-Axial Instability
49 Odontoid Fractures 10-15% of all cervical fractures Flexion > extension injury Estimated 25-40% fatality Anderson and D Alonzo classification Crockard HA et al., J Neurosurg, 78: , 1993.
50 Odontoid Fractures Type I Fractures Rare Upper tip of dens Avulsion of alar ligament Stable fracture by itself? May be a manifestation of atlanto-occipital dislocation. Scott EW, et al., J Neurosurg, 72:488-92, 1990.
51 Odontoid Fractures Type II Fractures Type II Lower half of dens Unstable fracture High non-union rate Type II a 3% of type II fractures Comminuted fracture Free fracture fragments Hadley MN, et al., Neurosurgery, 22:67-71, 1988.
52 Odontoid Fractures Type III Fractures Not a true odontoid fracture Fracture through body of C2 Greater/large surface area Cancellous bone Better vascular supply Usually heal non-operatively
53 Odontoid Fractures General Treatment Considerations Type I stable? Type II surgery vs external immobilization Age of patient (>40-55) Age of fracture (> 2weeks) Displacement of Dens (>4 6 mm) Posterior displaced Tobacco use Type IIa Type III - surgery vs external immobilization Displacement of Dens
