Takeaways
- 🔒 تplay a central role in providing stability at the C1-C2 level of the spine.
- 🚑 Jefferson fracture is a type of C1 or atlas fracture that can compromise the transverse ligament.
- 🔍 Open mouth X-ray can help diagnose fractures by showing the lateral mass overhang, which indicates stability or instability of the fracture.
- 🏥 Non-operative treatment is common for stable fractures, while operative treatment like C1-C2 fusion may be necessary for unstable injuries.
- 👵 Halo vest is a non-operative treatment option, but it carries risks in the elderly population, such as pneumonia.
- 🧑⚕️ Surgical intervention is often required for fractures with transverse ligament disruption or when non-operative treatments fail.
- 🦴 Hangman's fracture involves the C2 pedicles and is typically associated with a lower risk of spinal cord injury.
- 📈 MRI is crucial for assessing ligamentous injuries and ruling out additional spinal issues before surgery.
- 🛑 Facet dislocations often require immediate closed reduction and may necessitate surgical fixation if reduction fails or there's a neurological deficit.
- ⚠️ Be aware of the 'naked' or 'empty' facet sign on X-rays, which can indicate a dislocation and potential for severe instability.
Q & A
ما هي الوظيفة الرئيسية للـ transverse ligament في الossa العظمية؟
-يوفر transverse ligament الاستقرار في الossa العظمية C1، C2، مما يمنع الحركة غير الطبيعية بين C1 و C2.
ماذا تعني ABI في النص؟
-يعني ABI 'Atlas Biomedial Interval'، وهو يشير إلى المسافة بين الossa العظمية C1 والossa العظمية C2، ويعكس الاستقرار في هذا الجزء من العمود الفقري.
ما هي الإصابة العظمية التي يمكن أن تسبب إصابة transverse ligament؟
-الإصابة العظمية التي يمكن أن تسبب إصابة transverse ligament هي Jefferson fracture، وهي كسر في الossa العظمية C1 أو الossa العظمية العظمية.
كيف يمكن م量的ة الإصابة في الossa العظمية C1-C2 باستخدام التصوير المفتوح؟
-يمكن م量的ة الإصابة باستخدام التصوير المفتوح من خلال م量的ة lateral mass overhang، إذا كان أقل من 6.9 فهذا يعني أن الإصابة مستقر، أما إذا كان أكثر من 6.9 فهذا يعني وجود تآكل في transverse ligament.
ما هي العامل الرئيسي الذي يحدد ما إذا كان المعالجة غير الجراحية مناسبة للكسر؟
-العامل الرئيسي هو وجود تآكل في transverse ligament، إذا كان الADI (Atlanto-Dental Interval) أكثر من 3.5، هناك إصابة في transverse ligament، مما يتطلب علاج جراحي.
لماذا يعتبر التصوير الComputed Tomography (CT) مهمًا في المعالجة؟
-يساعد الCT في اكتشاف كسور أخرى قد تصاحب الكسر الرئيسي، ويساعد أيضا في التأكد من عدم وجود تآكل في transverse ligament.
ما هي الأنواع الرئيسية للكسر في الossa العظمية C1-C2؟
-هناك عدة أنواع من الكسر، مثل Jefferson fracture، وbody fracture، وdisruption في transverse ligament.
لماذا يجب تجنب الاستخدام من halo في المرضى الكبار؟
-لأن المرضى الكبار قد يموتون بسبب الالتهاب الرئوي، لذا يعتبر halo ممنوعًا في هذه الفئة العمرية.
ما هو الإجراء الجراحي الشائع في حالات إصابة transverse ligament؟
-الإجراء الجراحي الشائع هو C1-C2 fusion، حيث يتم ربط الossa العظمية C1 والossa العظمية C2 معًا لضمان الاستقرار.
ماذا تعني الجملة 'do not use halo and elderly they will die from pneumonia'؟
-تعني أن استخدام halo في المرضى الكبار قد يؤدي إلى مخاطر مثل الإصابة بالالتهاب الرئوي، مما قد يؤدي إلى الوفاة.
كيف يمكن م量的ة الإصابة في الossa العظمية C2؟
-يمكن م量的ة الإصابة باستخدام الCT scan، حيث إذا كان هناك avulsion في الossa العظمية C2، يمكن استخدام halo.

Transcripts
c-spine trauma the first thing we're
going to talk about it depends where a
ligament where it is located
and what is the function of the
transverse ligament it provides the c1
c2 stability the seat is behind dog
employed and it anchor it doesn't tied
to the range of c1 so it prevents an
abnormal movement between c1 and c2
because the spinal cord is behind the
odontoid behind c2
adi in about a 3.5 millimeter so if that
ligament is injured c1 and c2 will be
free to move and you'll have an increase
of the ABI
traumatic injury of the transverse
ligament is probably rare but please
take a condition where the transverse
ligament injury can be a problem
this Jefferson fracture c1 or atlas
fracture two eggs a load
see one is an egg c1c2 control 50% of
rotation of the neck you can have a body
fracture which is fracture of part of
dying or multiple fractures in there
usually that is a stable injury and you
can have the fracture in addition to
disruption of the transverse ligament
mouth vo open mouth x-ray and you find
the lateral mass overhang is less than
6.9 then that fracture is stable and the
treatment is usually non-operative
treatment but if the lateral mass
overhang more than 6.9 then there is
disruption of the transverse ligament
you will see that overhang in the urban
mouth x-rays but if you look at the
lateral view and the ADI is more than
three point five then there is an injury
to the transverse ligament and if it is
more than five then there is an injury
to the apical and Eylure ligament in
addition to the transverse ligament
you
ct-scan nearly in the treatment of
choice because this fracture can be
missed due to inadequate x-rays of the
occipital cervical Junction also this
fracture is associated with other
fractures so the CT scan would help us
in finding other fractions discretion
opens the canal so the risk of
neurological deficit is not that high
to decide if that fracture has
transverse ligament disruption or not
completed by a hard cervical or closes
or by a halo never a halo and elderly
I think halo will be good for transverse
ligament avulsion fractures will you see
body avulsion on the CT scan use a halo
did observe the patient if you don't
want to do c1 and c2 fusion
however if there is injury to the
transverse ligament you would do c1 c2
fusion because that injury is unstable
just remember to reactivate patients
with the spinal cord injury for upper
c-spine fractures will have an increased
mortality and halo is contraindicated in
the geriatric population
you put a halo watch out the summer
orbital and sobra trochlear nerve root
injury
you
another one is a Detroit fracture tab
one is an avulsion of the tip
you will give the patient orthosis
by two dozen toilet process itself
the non-union rate is high up to 80%
especially if you have more than five
millimeters of displacement or the
patient is older than 50 years
other factors are delay in treatment
posterior displacement of the fracture
and diabetes
do not use halo and elderly they will
die from pneumonia
how do you treat that to fraction in a
young patient you will take it by a halo
it is displaced and there are risk
factors for non-union then you would do
surgery
what kind of surgery you will do you
don't old school and young patient wire
onto the screw because runup reserve c1
and c2 motion because it controls 50% of
the rotation you don't have use that in
somebody younger so somebody is older
then you can use c1 and c2 fusion
so how do you teach I to if the patient
is old or soldiers or you do surgery for
a fusion of c1 and c2 if there is an
indication for surgery and if there is a
clearance for surgery
how about peyote fracture where it goes
into the body you tainted by agent
orthosis or halo
hangman fracture the fracture that
involved the pedicles of c2 so the
spinal canal is wider and there will be
low risk for spinal cord injury
types one of them is the non-displaced
which is type 1 the fracture is vertical
and no angulation and no translation and
you did that by cervical or process
type to the some angulation and
translation so you will treat it by
traction and extension and put the
patient in a halo for about three months
type that's bad bye - a witch will have
severe angulation with letter
translation because the ligament the
posterior longitudinal ligament is
disrupted you cannot eat that by
traction because you will pull the
spinal cord apart so you would eat it by
extension tenth halo in compression for
about six to twelve weeks and you may
need to fuse
five three this is a surgical time this
is a fraction of the Perkins in addition
to facet dislocation it has some
neurological deficit Association and the
treatment is surgery carbon reduction
and posterior spine fusion
facet dislocations the association of a
naked - and facet involvement is very
high watch out that you don't have a
herniated disc in addition to the bony
injury that's double trouble so when you
have unilateral facet dislocation
usually there is less than 50%
translation on x-rays and it may affect
a nerve root
if you are bilateral facet dislocation
will be more than 50% translation and
probably spinal cord injury ligament
injury don't heal it means to be fused
it needs surgery
so the treatment of facet dislocation is
immediate closed reduction didn't get
them I didn't do the surgery but if the
patient has a mental status change then
you will do the MRI first and
immediately followed by urban reduction
and surgical fixation so when Diego and
tearily
will go and Tilly if there is a disc
herniation the incidence is about 10 to
30 percent in cervical facet dislocation
so if you try to do a reduction the disc
fragment may stay in the canal causing
spinal cord injury
so when do you go for serially if
reduction of the rustication failed and
there is no discrimination when do you
do combined and clearly and posteriorly
we got to go and Tilly to remove a desk
and we got to go for silly because the
dislocation cannot be reduced by a
closed method or by an open anterior
technique
three important points for facet
dislocations number one get the mi
before surgery make sure you don't have
a disk herniation number two ligament
injury don't heal it needs fusion it
will need surgery number three know the
arrangement of the fact that the
superior facet and inferior facet in the
normal and in the block or dislocated
facets because they will confuse you
especially in the exam know the naked
facet or the empty facet train yourself
to see that because you'll have an arrow
at one of them and they ask you which
facet at the the superior the inferior
visit the level above or the level below
what is a naked fraction it is the city
appearance of an uncovered vertebral
particular fashion when the facet joint
is dislocated to usually indicate
flexion distraction injury with CBA
ligamentous disruption and spinal
instability
now would need to talk about the MRI if
the patient is awake you will do close
reduction before you get the mi because
if something bad happened like
deterioration of the neurological status
we will know about it by conversing with
the elect awake patient and then you can
leave the castien if it happened so you
use the spine and then you get the mi
in what situation you get MRI first
before you do close reduction if the
patient is not alert not awake drunk not
cooperating or if you can do that close
reduction then before you take the
patient to surgery you need to get the
MRI you need to see the second problem
so now we got the MRI after the close
reduction or before the close reduction
then we're going to take the patient to
surgery
probably doing closed reduction and the
patient is alert awake cooperative then
you get neurological deficit then you
need two legs the reduction get an MI
and you're going to go to service
then you can have the facet fracture
usually the superior fashion this
classic injuries usually Oh care from
flexion distraction force plus minus
rotation
another entity is the ligamentous injury
of the spine which will demonstrate by
an mi or by flexion extension views
we'll show you a translation more than
3.5 or angulation more than 11 degree
then you need to do surgery
have the barest fracture of the lower
c-spine from axial compression usually
they have neurological deficit and the
treatment is usually until decompression
and fusion unless you have posterior
ligamentous injury then we will fix that
also
then the extension injuries that can
happen in elderly will give you central
cord syndrome
then you have the tear drop fracture the
teardrop fracture is the most severe
unstable fracture of the c-spine its
usual care from flexion and compression
which is different from the extension
teardrop fracture which usually will
care at c2 which is usually a stable
injury both fracture types involved
anterior inferior aspect of the
vertebral body
deflection type injury is usually
associated with a spinal cord injury the
posterior part of the vertebral body
will be displaced into the spinal canal
the posterior ligaments will be
disrupted and will allow separation of
the spinous processes the flexion pipe
fracture is usually unstable and it will
need surgery
then you have the occipital cervical
dislocation which is a fatal injury but
rare and usually treated by occipital
cervical fusion occipital condyles
fracture
it is rare injury it's usually
incidental finding seen on a head CT
scan one third of occipital condylar
fracture of cares would
atlanto-occipital dislocation treatment
occipital cervical fusion based on
legend extension x-rays
