Description
Chunxing Wu and co-authors reported non-surgical treatment for a rare neck injury in young children in two thousand twenty-four. The injury joins a dislocation of the top neck joint with a fracture of the odontoid, a peg on the second neck bone. It is dangerous because the spinal cord sits nearby.
Three girls, with a mean age of two and a half years, were treated from two thousand seventeen to two thousand twenty. Care had three steps: gentle traction for about eighteen days, a head-neck-chest plaster for two months, then a brace for three months. All dislocations were reduced, fractures healed, and spinal injury signs recovered. The authors support conservative care for this injury in young children.
