$CERVICAL SPINE FRACTURE: NEXUS CRITERIA Another tool to rule out spinal fractures are the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study (NEXUS) criteria. Originally they were designed to help physicians working in the emergency department to assess the need for radiographic imaging. The NEXUS criteria have been reported to have sensitivity ranges from 83-100% and specificity ranges from 2-46% according to Michaleff et al. (2012).

$CERVICAL SPINE FRACTURE: THE CANADIAN C-SPINE RULES After several tests on cervical spondylotic myelopathy, we are going to cover another red flag in the upcoming days: Fractures! In this series, we are going from top to bottom and we will show you different screening tests for different areas of the body. To rule out fractures of the cervical spine, the canadian c-spine rules are with sensitivity ranges from 90-100% and specificity ranges from 1-77% according to Michaleff et al. (2012). Here's$

$Case study 134 - Cervical spinal cord injury from diving Flexion teardrop fractures represent a fracture pattern occurring in severe axial/flexion injury of the cervical spine. They are important to recognize because they indicate extensive underlying ligamentous injury and spinal instability. Associated spinal cord injury is common, especially anterior cervical cord syndrome and quadriplegia. The injury typically occurs from severe flexion and compression forces (e.g. diving impact, deceleratio$

$Case study 133 - Type 2 Odontoid fracture (c2) treated by Odontoid screw An odontoid fracture is a break in the odontoid, a peg-like part of the second bone in the neck, or C2 vertebra. These fractures can be caused by trauma to the cervical spine, such as hyperflexion, extension, or shear forces. In younger people, high-energy trauma from accidents like diving, skiing, or motor vehicles can cause odontoid fractures. In older people, lower energy impacts like falls can cause them.
