Overview

Retrospective study reveals average surgical delay of 9.28 days in patients with subaxial cervical fractures, indicating significant impact on neurological outcomes.

Key Points

  • Average waiting time for surgery was 9.28 days, primarily due to operating room availability.
  • The study analyzed 36 patients, predominantly men, with falls as the most common trauma mechanism.
  • Most fractures were classified as type C, occurring mainly at the C4/C5 and C5/C6 levels.
  • Timely surgical intervention is crucial to minimize complications associated with cervical fractures.
