Spine injuries result from an accidental fall from a height or a high velocity injury like a vehicular accident.
Cervical spine injuries are associated with a high incidence of death (mortality) and disability (morbidity).
Early surgery using metal to splint and protect the fractured area along with bone to fill defects is done as an emergency in most fractures of the spine.
Pedicular screws in the low and mid-back as against plates and wires in the neck are the commonest metal used.
