Most fatal cervical spine injuries affect the upper cervical levels: the craniocervical junction, C1, or C2.Ĭervical spine injuries are best classified according to the mechanisms of injury, which include flexion, flexion-rotation, extension, extension-rotation, vertical compression, lateral flexion, and imprecisely understood mechanisms that may result in odontoid fractures and atlanto-occipital dislocation. A third of injuries are sustained at the C2 level, and one half of injuries occur at the level of C6 or C7. Greater morbidity results from higher levels of cervical spine injury, with craniocervical junction injuries being associated with the highest mortality. Morbidity and mortality related to cervical spine injuries depend on the mechanism of injury and the level of traumatic insult. Cervical spine injuries are the most feared of all spinal injuries because of the potential for serious neurologic sequelae.
