The cervical fracture spine surgery specialists of Spine Associates of New Jersey frequently diagnose and treats patients suffering from neck fractures (cervical fractures). Each neck injury is different from the next. A neck fracture can happen for many different reasons. Common causes include falls, collisions, motor vehicle accidents, diving into shallow water, sudden twists to the neck, or severe blows to the head and neck area. In many cases neck fractures require surgery.
Cervical fracture spine surgery is highly specialized treatment for serious injuries involving the bones, discs, ligaments, spinal cord, or nerves of the neck. Cervical fractures can result from motor vehicle accidents, falls, sports injuries, osteoporosis, or other significant trauma and may cause severe neck pain, spinal instability, numbness, weakness, or neurological problems. At Spine Associates of New Jersey, ourboard certified fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeons have advanced expertise in treating complex cervical fractures and traumatic spinal injuries. When surgery is necessary, our surgeons use advanced techniques to stabilize the cervical spine, decompress the spinal cord and nerves when needed, restore proper alignment, and protect neurological function. Every case is carefully evaluated based on the fracture pattern, spinal stability, neurological status, and overall health, with treatment designed to provide the safest and most durable reconstruction possible.
Initially assessing the severity of the injury is necessary. This may require diagnostic testing such as X-Rays, MRIs, CAT scans, etc. Is the neck fracture associated with dislocation or instability? Which cervical bones are broken? Is there a spinal cord or nerve injury? Diagnostic assessment helps the spine surgeon determine the best option for treatment.

Surgical Treatments of Neck Fractures (Cervical Fractures)
For more severe or unstable fractures, neck fracture surgery is often a medical necessity. The goal of neck fracture surgery is to remove any bone that may be compressing the spinal cord or nerve and then stabilize the injured area. This is usually performed by the spine surgeon using titanium plates or screws / rods, as well as vertebral replacement cages.
