A member asked:
I have a c1/c2 fracture. informed spine is leaning inward instead of straight. do i run a risk of having to have surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: There are a number of fractures that involve the first and second cervical vertibrae (c1-c2) and surgery is based in part on the stability of the fracture and the likelihood of successful healing with and without surgery. Thank you for your question.
