  2. Spinal precautions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_precautions

    There are two main algorithms, the Canadian C-spine rule and NEXUS, which are used to decide who requires cervical spine imaging via CT scan [6] after blunt trauma, and who can be cleared without imaging. [4] The Canadian C-spine rule appears to have greater sensitivity and specificity (i.e. fewer false positives and false negatives). [17]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_the_cervical_spine

    A 64-slice CT with reconstructions does not entirely rule out ligamentous injury leading to instability, but is a practical means of identifying the majority of C-spine injuries in obtunded patients. MR C-spine has frequent false-positives, limiting its usefulness. [citation needed] In these cases, a consultation with a Spine Surgery specialist ...

  5. Cervical collar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervical_collar

    In order to prevent further injury, such people may have a collar placed by medical professionals until X-rays can be taken to determine if a cervical spine fracture exists. [5] Medical professionals will often use the NEXUS criteria and/or the Canadian C-spine rules to clear a cervical collar and determine the need for imaging.

  6. Cervical vertebrae - Wikipedia

    However, the cervical spine is comparatively mobile, and some component of this movement is due to flexion and extension of the vertebral column itself. This movement between the atlas and occipital bone is often referred to as the "yes joint", owing to its nature of being able to move the head in an up-and-down fashion.

  7. Central cord syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_cord_syndrome

    Central cord syndrome (CCS) is the most common form of cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). It is characterized by loss of power and sensation in arms and hands. It usually results from trauma which causes damage to the neck, leading to major injury to the central corticospinal tract of the spinal cord. [1]

  8. Spinal fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_fracture

    A medical history and physical examination can be sufficient in clearing the cervical spine.Notable clinical prediction rules to determine which patients need medical imaging are Canadian C-spine rule and the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study (NEXUS).
