Reconstruction Of Traumatic Cervical Spine With Vascular Fibular Graft

Spinal trauma occurs when there is damage to the spinal cord that results in a bruise (also called a contusion), a partial tear, or a complete tear. Because the spinal cord is the central carrier of signals throughout the body, damage to the spinal cord can have serious consequences.

A spinal cord injury, depending on its location and severity, may result in a partial or total loss of movement, sensation, and organ function. There is a range of severity in spinal cord injuries. A mild contusion of the spinal cord may cause the loss of only some function below the site of the injury. A complete transection, or severing of the spinal cord, is a total and permanent loss of sensation and movement below the site of the transection. Patients with spinal trauma also are likely to develop infections of the bladder, lungs, and skin…

Initial assessment includes a clinical exam and also may include imaging tests, including x-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The tests should include the entire spine, not just the region where the injury is suspected. The choice of diagnostic techniques varies based on the state of the patient-consciousness and the presence of other injuries…

Treatment

Spinal trauma requires immediate treatment, usually at the site of the injury, to prevent additional injury to the spinal cord. Initial intervention includes immobilization of the head, neck, and back, and steroid medications to control swelling. Sometimes immediate surgery is necessary to evaluate the state of the spinal cord, stabilize fractured vertebrae, release pressure from the injured area, and treat injuries to other parts of the body…
