Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Patients with fractures deemed unstable or neurologic compromise should undergo decompression and stabilization. Intervention within 24 hours of injury leads to better improvement in ASIA scores (3). The recent AO Spine Subaxial Classification system relies essentially on MSCT evaluation (Reference). However, MRI is superior to CT scans for evaluating the spinal cord, nerve roots, disc, and ligamentous structures in the cervical spine (4).
Even though the investigators receive and treat a large number of patients with various subaxial cervical injuries in Assiut University Hospital each year, there is no consensus about the best treatment options and uncertainty about the outcome of these treatments.
In this study, the participants will assess the short-term outcomes of all patients with subaxial cervical fractures who will be admitted to the participants' center regardless of the neurological status or treatment type used.
The participants will also create a detailed prospective database to be used for another later study on the long-term outcome

xrays and CT
A dedicated sheet will be used to record patients' data including all demographic data, detailed analysis of the mechanism of injury, time of injury, time and details of surgery (if any), neurological status on admission and all radiological findings. All patients will undergo plain X-rays and CT imaging. Patients with suspected discoligamentous injuries and/or neurological deficits will also be assessed by MRI.
