Cervical Spine Fractures
The cervical spine is the uppermost part of the spinal column. Injuries that occur to the cervical spine are typically the result of a violent collision that causes the cervical spine to compress against the shoulders. This injury can cause vertebra fractures, but it could cause the vertebra to burst into small fragments that can be impossible to repair.
The lumbar spine and the thoracic spine are the two other areas of the spine. Damage to either of these areas can be serious.
Wedge Fractures
This is a vertebral compression fracture. These fractures are most common in the thoracic spine, due to its rigidity. A wedge fracture is a serious fracture that may require extensive treatment.
Burst Fractures
This is a type of injury in which the back is severely compressed. Essentially, the spine is crushed. Most often, this is the result of serious trauma. The result could be paralysis or partial neurologic injury.
Dislocation Fractures
This is often considered the most serious of spinal fracture injuries. This is the type of injury that has the highest incidence of neurologic deficits. Typically, extensive surgery is required to stabilize the spine and, ideally, prevent paralysis.
