What are the clinical manifestations of cervical vertebra fractures? Most cervical vertebra fractures are caused by other diseases.

Cervical fracture is a type of cervical spondylosis. This disease mostly occurs due to fractures caused by cervical osteoarthritis, hypertrophic cervical spondylitis and intervertebral disc herniation. Once you suffer from this disease, you should seek timely treatment after the symptoms appear. Otherwise, once the disease worsens, it will not only seriously affect the patient's normal life and work, but also have a great impact on their physical health.

The main symptoms are neck pain, movement disorders and cervical muscle spasm, and these symptoms are often accompanied by numbness and swelling. The local symptoms are mostly serious. At this time, patients should pay great attention to it to avoid other complications.

2. Spinal cord injury is a relatively serious clinical manifestation, and the proportion of complete spinal cord injury after cervical vertebrae fracture is also relatively high. Most patients will have varying degrees of paralysis signs after suffering from this disease, and only a few lucky patients will not develop it. This will directly affect the patient's normal life, so timely treatment should be carried out.

3. Fractures and dislocations. These symptoms are mostly discovered during examinations. For example, X-ray examinations can clearly show fractures and dislocations, and the prevertebral shadow will also widen. CT scans can also show whether there is displacement of bone fragments. MRI images can also clearly show damage to the spinal cord and other soft tissues, and the scope and extent of the damage can be clearly shown.

The above is an introduction to the clinical manifestations of cervical vertebra fractures. After everyone has a certain understanding of these, once you suffer from this disease, you should seek timely treatment. Because only with timely treatment can you try to avoid other serious hazards.
