Resumo

The goals in patients with unstable cervical spine injuries include (1) treatment of concomitant injuries, (2) preservation of neurologic function, (3) enhancement of neurologic recovery, (4) prevention of spinal deformity, and (5) maximization of functional recovery. The authors present an overview of protocols used for evaluation and treatment of unstable cervical spine injuries at their institution, representing knowledge accumulated in approximately 3,000 cases.
