How did it happen?: If it is due to trauma, once it has completely healed, the likely future issues would be with degenerative joint disease, or neck "arthritis", which would probably occur sooner because of the trauma. If due to another cause, more details of that cause are needed. Please speak with your doctor or a spine specialist for more detail.

Cervical Fracture : Most cervical spine fractures will heal solid. The biggest problem is whether the ligaments (hold bone to bone) were damaged. Ligaments do not heal and can lead to segmental instability between the spinal segments. Have your son discuss this aspect with the treating physician.
