Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Injuries of the cervical spine are quite common with an incidence of more than 3% in trauma patients. The incidence is even higher in elderly patients. Cervical spine injuries might induce severe neurological deficits. Therefore, they must be quickly and adequately diagnosed and treated. Depending on the pattern of injury, conservative or surgical treatment is indicated.
OBJECTIVE: The authors describe the different surgical strategies and treatment options based on the pattern of injury. Typical surgical methods are illustrated by case presentations.
CONCLUSION: Cervical spine injuries should be treated in a trauma centre with extensive expertise in spine surgery. The immobilisation and gentle transportation is important already at the scene of the accident. Nowadays, there are excellent surgical options and strategies available as well as excellent intensive care therapy. These possibilities lead to rapid and good stabilisation of cervical spine injuries and the posttraumatic morbidity and mortality can be reduced significantly especially in elderly patients.
