| description | ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the epidemiology of 111 patients to determine the age group affected, the level of fracture, fracture classification, and type of treatment. Methods: Descriptive study of 111 cases of cervical spine fracture treated at the Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopedics Lomas Verdes - IMSS from March 2009 to October 2014. Results: The condition appeared in 88% of men. The age range was 16-81 years, with an average of 40 years. The most common fracture according to the AO classification was type A (57%). The segments most affected were C5-C6, C6-C7, C6 and C4-C5 (24.32%, 17.1%, 9.9% and 8.1%). Neurological involvement occurred in 46.8%. The most common mechanism of injury was high energy. Surgical treatment was performed in 78.4% of patients, being one-level corpectomy with placement of mesh and plate, and posterior fixation with facet screws the most appropriate procedures (31.5% and 27.9%, respectively). Conclusions: Males were the most affected, the highest incidence was in C5-C6 and C6-C7 levels and the surgical procedure was the most used. |
