Abstract
Every year in North America, approximately 3 million patients are evaluated for spinal injury. Of blunt trauma patients presenting to the emergency department, 3% to 4% will have a cervical spine injury, and up to 18% will suffer a thoracolumbar spine injury. Failure to identify an unstable spine injury can lead to devastating outcomes.Entities:
